EC: We have the body [
257]. This we have had before. As
regarding the physical forces, these we find not so good as
when we had same here before. The strain and tension under
which the body has labored leaves its effect with the
physical force. While necessary for the body to keep self
at high tension at times, it is also necessary for the body
to learn and understand - and not forget to play as well as
labor and work. There should be perfect relaxation periods
for the body, and more consistence with those for the effects
as have been indicated in times back, as respecting the
throat, the mucus membranes of head, throat, and of the
various passages through head and through portions of face.
These, then, with the keeping of tension, tend to cause a
greater flow of blood nominally to these portions of the
body, and congestion usually takes toll with the used
portions where drosses have been left in system. Then, the
relaxations are necessary. Keep the body well balanced
in this direction. Not so much of medicinal properties.
Occasionally it would be well for the body to use equal
parts of cream of tartar and common table salt, with warm
water, snuffed up nose, and rinsing the mouth with same, and
relax thoroughly, and we will find these conditions clearing
up. Keep the body physically fit, would the body enjoy the
labors of the mental and physical body.
As to associations and conditions, both in New York and
elsewhere - in New York we find most of these, as has
troubled or worried the body from time to time, are gradually
taking shape and will clarify themselves through the various
happenings and conditions. Not that ANY condition has
changed from that of which the body has been told or warned,
but keeping the mental image constantly before the mind or
mental body builds that in the experience of others in such a
way and manner as to bring about circumstances, conditions,
that clarifies much that worries or troubles. Ready for
questions.
As related to those of Westheimer and such interests, there
are those in New York whom the body may interest in the
undertaking. Weigh the attitude, however, of these often,
and well, before there is coalition made. Well would it be
that that first injunction as given the body concerning
these interests, and that that might be entrusted to the
body, that those that entered for the purely speculative
interests and not for the good and well being of all that
MORE good might COME from same, THESE are the tenets, the
conditions, and DO NOT attempt to EVER so conduct same that
it, the efforts or the income from same, is to be made
overnight. Rather let it be in such a way and manner as that
there is less of the speculative and more of the investment
idea. Such an interest as Davis [Russell Davis] with his
experience, holdings, or the activities, would be such an one
to well consider, and in such ways may the body have long and
lasting influence in same. Ready for questions on all.
(Q) Will it be advisable for [
257] to leave N.Y. over this
next week end to go the Oklahoma to see the Westheimers?
(A) Very well. There are many interests and conditions to
be considered, and we find some that would hinder such plans
arising, in other interests, but considered ALONE, would be
well. Weigh all together. Do not overtax self in action
mentally or physically. Be consistent.
(Q) Are the Westheimer holdings in Oklahoma - of oil and
leases - in condition to be handled by [
257] successfully?
(A) Dependent upon the manner in which it is to be handled,
as has been outlined. The holdings, the interests, are such
as may be made remunerative in their developments.
(Q) Has [
257] the complete confidence of Max & Simon
Westheimer?
(A) Complete confidence.
(Q) Is [
257] capable of handling this large proposition to
the best advantage of the Westheimer firm?
(A) There has just been outlined for the body a way, a
manner, in which the body may MAKE self capable of handling
such interest, and conducted in that manner the body may
develop and show the ability of self and associates to handle
such interests for the best interest of Westheimer and those
who may be associated with same.
(Q) What is the best procedure - outright sale of properties
to N.Y. firm or cash and stock interest?
(A) Rather the manner in which this has been outlined. With
the proper associates, with such a tentative consciousness
as outlined, this may be of either a developed interest,
holdings, and cash, or as the work develops make in the way
as is best.
(Q) Should Westheimer's management be retained as part of
the consideration?
(A) Getting too far ahead of the hounds! Let's commence
where we may have some basis to work ON. That may be well
to consider AFTER other INTERESTS are interested into where
these are ready and willing to let their interest stand for
such holdings, such interests, and such cash, or their own
activity with others depend upon development of same.
(Q) What are the possibilities as the future value of these
holdings?
(A) Hard to estimate with the various conditions, as to
prices, and of the quantity as is seen in the holdings - but
these are enormous, when compared in dollars and cents, as
units.
(Q) Which are the best productive tracts for developments?
(A) Those that lie in that region as turns off from PRESENT
producing acreage.
(Q) What county is that in?
(A) We don't see the county!
(Q) What arrangement should [
257] have when he returns to
N.Y. to handle the deal?
(A) Depending upon whether the holdings company is to become
a speculative interest or a developing, producing concern, or
a subsidiary TO a developing, producing concern. That, then,
necessary to meet the satisfaction OF those that are MOST
interested in the holdings.
(Q) Which of the brothers should [
257] especially work with?
(A) Simon!
(Q) Please advise the approach to each of the brothers, so
[
257] will always do proper and right?
(A) Let this be governed principally by the manner of
approach of each of these. One the reserve, and the mighty
and high in opinion, yet easily CHANGED in the expression of
same. The other (Simon) more of the nature of frank, open,
yet never telling quite all, but the sincere business, and
the one to be trusted in every detail.
(Q) How much will be received from the N.Y. group for the
holdings now being considered?
(A) Depending upon the manner or the way in which it is to
be handled. Anywhere from twenty, thirty, to fifty million.
(Q) What is the production per day as shown on Westheimer
books at Ardmore?
(A) These vary in the report, in the run. Some of these
are not being taken as good care of as conditions really
justify, but with the decline and the lack of the topmost
interest in the regular run, have been allowed to decline,
and others taken or looked after more carefully show net
results of a better, but the general run is three to three
twenty-five per day.
(Q) Are there any complications for [
257] to be warned of in
the approach and handling of entire deal?
(A) These have been warned of, as in how and the manner in
which these are to be handled. Both as to individual
approach to the Westheimer interests and as to what is to be
done with same.
(Q) What will be the best month for [
257] to approach this
N.Y. group?
(A) In September or October.
(Q) What conditions are to be expected in the oil industry
in balance of 1929?
(A) This will be kept as near the nominal output as
possible, yet the actual conditions and the current reports
will differ materially throughout the rest of the year.
(Q) Is there a condition of overproduction, as claimed by
leading oil companies?
(A) Over production at the present period, CLAIMED. Near a
nominal run. Actual.
(Q) Is there any special holding of this firm worthy of
special consideration?
(A) Best as a whole.
(Q) Will the Paris Medicine deal interfere or aid [
257] in
handling the Westheimer proposition?
(A) Should aid!
(Q) When should Westheimer be prepared to come to N.Y. to
meet principals?
(A) When the body [
257] has gotten the conditions in such
position as they may be talked or discussed in a proper
manner.
(Q) What will the general market conditions be for the next
ninety days?
(A) Very good in a general manner. Nice August flurry.
(Q) Should [
257] have geologist reports with him to present
in N.Y.?
(A) These are well, and have their influence.
(Q) Are letters of recommendation needed on Westheimers?
(A) No.
(Q) What other advice does [
257] need for successful
handling of entire deal?
(A) That included in that given, as to how and for what
purpose or reason it, the interest, is to be used or worked
out. [
3/02/30 See
257-56, Par. 30-A, 31-A in re Ardmore oil
deal.]
(Q) Will [
257] continue to be successful with his Radio
Cabinet business and handle these deals?
(A) We don't find much oil in those! but the cabinet
business is going well. We are through.
