The DERRICK will be better than ever
for 1877. 1t will have special reporters at
Washington and Harrisburg. who will
send daily specials of all important events.
It's readers will be kept posted on oil the

an Independent 7tandpoint, Will larga
repOrtcrial force will keen them utormed
on local matters. It will also, as it does
now, take the lead in discussing question:
of importance to oimen. and work faith
fully for the interest Of the Oil Region. It
will maintain itS position as authority in
oil statistics, and its market quotations
will always be found reliable.
The DAILY DERRICK being published
at Oil City, the Metropolis of the Oil Ro-
gious, and the largest Petroleum Market
