TEXAS OIL 8

OF NEW YORK AND BEAUMONT
OF NEW YORK AND BEAUMONT.

The company's other lands in Jefferson county in
clude three tracts having a frontage OF 1h miles
directly on the Neches river, giving the company
uiewater outlet for the production from this land
without the necessity Of pipe lines.
The balance of the company's lands amounting TO
over $4,000 acres complete list Of which Will be
sent on redueso, are located in the counties along
the Neches river, which is conceded by experts 10
be the HEART OF THE OIL BELT, as substan-
tfated by the report OF the L. s. Geological Survey
Prof. Robert T. Hill, petroleum expert Of this
vey, says in his report the Texas oil field:
There is ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT that TIE
SOURCE OF the Beaumont oil Is In the tertiary
strata which outcrop in the interior and throughout
the east Texas timber region. The oil will be found
at decreasing depths ALONG LINE FROM BEAU
MONT TO OIL CITY. in southern Nacogdoches
county"
reference to the company's land map in its
prospectus shows over 200 tracts held by the COM
paLy ALONG THE LINE DESCRIBED BY MR.
HILL, and it is practically certain that these lands
contain oil in inexhaustibe quantities.
All the ccmpany's lands have, before acceptance,
been thoroughly investigated by Mr.. l.. j. Kopke,
civil engineer and surveyor OF the highest repute
and resident of the Beaumont section for twenty
years past, therefore thoroughly familiar with the
territory and its character and probable value As
an instance Of the good judgment used in selecting
the company's tracts, We may mention the fact
that offers of ten times the price paid have been
made to the company for some OF these properties

John Douthitt survey tadjoining the gusher field,

Their first efforts were devoted to securing the
most valuable lands while CHEAP; their second

Quality means about everything.
1t means the material, the work.
manship, the design-it means furni-
ture that will last.
Furniture of the first quality will
last lifetime.
Furniture of the other quality is
apt to fall to pieces any time.
First-class furniture is made to
last. Second-class furniture is made
to sell.
Stores that sell second-class fur
niture do not expect to do business
permanently with the same people.
People that buy of second-class fur
niture stores buy their furniture
somewhere else after a while. When
they have learned furniture wisdom
they buy of Moses.

Furniture Wisdom.

Furniture wisdom consists in
knowing where to buy furniture.
No one outside the furniture busi-
ness can be very wise in regard to
furniture. It's impossible for the
average man or woman to tell the
difference between frst-class furni-
ture and second-class furniture. Vast
cunning is concentrated in making
second-class furniture look like first
class furniture.

turns to something that will be per-
manent pleasure. OF course, nothing
is SO permanent as furniture-when il
is the right kind. And it is doubt
ful if anything gives so much pleas
ure. 1t gives the pleasure of its
beauty and adds its beauty to the at
fractions of the home.
1t brings comfort, and there is not
much that is more enjoyable than
comfort.
