THE HAYWOOD OIL COMPANY.

With fifteen acres Of the choicest land on
Spindletop HILL a conservative capitalize
ton of $4,000 and a record of new
gusher every month since its incorporation
last April. the Haywood Oil Company offers
o proposition which has met with gem
erous response from investors. In st. Louis
the demand for Haywood stock has been
quite unusual, considering the fact that not
a single share has been sold below par, 500,
and that In this market the tendency has
been rather to buy cheaper stock. This is
probably the hest advertisement which the
company could receive. inasmuch as 1t in
dicates that the purchasers Of its stock
have been persons of means. who. as a
class. are careful In making their invest
ments
Although less than three months old as
corporation, the Haywood Company ranks
second in producing capacity in the Beau
mont field. having three great gushers, the
greatest number owned by any one COM
pany being six. On April Is the first Hey.

OF Marshall. Mo-, secretary Export Oh and
Pipe Line Company, and one Of the young
Missourians who have succeeded In Beau
mont.
Martin Gauldin is one Of the young men
from Missouri who have won success in the
Beaumont oil fields. He was among the
first to appreciate the possibilities Of the oil
business and arrived on the scene at Beau
mont early in the excitement Mr.. Gauldin
associated himself with 8. NJ. Scott and,
eventually. with ex-United States Senator
Charles A. Towne, and was one Of the pro-
moters Of the Export Oil and Pipe Line
Company. When the organization of this
company was undertaken Mr.. Gauldin went
to Missouri interested his friends. and how
well he succeeded Is attested by the fact
that he was elected secretary OF the cor
poration. Senator Towne is president and
Mr. Scott vice president. Mr.. Gauldin was
born in Marshall, Mo-, and has lived there
all his life, with the exception of two years
spent in California. He is at the head of q
prosperous real estate and abstract busi-
ness In Marshall. and Is also land and immi-
grafton agent for the Kansas City Southern
Railroad. His duties as secretary Of the
Export OIL and Pipe Line Company will
compel him to spend most Of his time
henceforth In Beaumont. Although he has
short time. he has made many valued
friends among the best class Of business
men Of the town. While his friends in Mis-
souri, are sorry to lose him for the time
being, Beaumont Is proportionately glad to
number him among her progressive citizens.

HIGGINS OIL AND
FUEL COMPANY.

The Higgins OIL and Fuel Company was
the first chartered after the discovery Of
the Lucas we'll in January last, and had the
choice Of location Of land on Spindletop
Heights. How wisely the thrty-three and
one-tenth acres this company owns on

peatedly proven by the number of fine
wells brought in upon its property. two be-
ing located upon lot No. %. and three upon
fifteen acres leased to the Haywood Oil
Company under a 50 per cent royalty. which
gives the Higgins company very large
production. This the company is well pre-
pared to handle, as it has completed two
large steel storage tanks of 1850 barrels
capacity each. and has built pipe line and
loading rack TO the Southern Pacific tracks;
also pipe line into and through the city
of Beaumont, where it reaches the Kansas
City Southern and Santa F'e roads. and the
company owns valuable franchises over the
public streets. alleys and grounds or the
city of Beaumont and County OF Jefferson
It may readily be seen that this company is
well prepared to take care of all business
intrusted to IT for shipment by rail. as well
as by water from Port Arthur. where it has
pipe line facilities for Loading vessels.
The company has an authorized capital OF
s., 500.GGO but has only issued Sl,35aOo0 of the
