evening put on cool satine. wrapper, bathe
every day and get your hosFfy, underwear,
fans, etc., from Arthur Ssaendelmyer &

STEER AWAY FROM THE OIL BELT
Why the Philadelphia Company Does Not

Why the Philadelphia Company Does Not
Strike the Greasy Fluid.
A communication was received at the
Office of THE DISPATCH yesterday, asking
for information in regard to the Philadel-
phis Company's operations in oil territory.
It was stated that the company struck
an oil well in the hickory district
some timei ago, but in the last an
nuai statement of the company there is no
income shown from the well, nor did it say
what disposition was made of the property.
The writer of the communication said it was
very strange that in all the extensive
operations of the company it did not de-
velop any gas territory.
The communication was shown one of the
officials yesterday, who has immediate
supervision over the drilling of wells, and
when asked for a statement, he said: 1--WE
have not struck any oil for the reason that
we take every possible precaution to keep
away from the oil belt. We do not want it
and have no use for it. About two years
ago we struck some oil in the Robinson
township district, but it petered out in no
time. We bored a we'll in the Hickory dis
triot, between Hickory and Taylorstown,
and struck little oil in what we call the
Dunkard sand. It soon exhausted itself,
being too far away from the belt"
