Hints TO
Investors

People of the northwest must not lose
sight of other oil-bearing territory in
Texas when the United States Fuel Oil
company speak of Spindle Top and their
guaranteed wells, the shareholders and
public must not overlook the many outside
holdings which this company propose to
develop as well. It is hard to get all
the information Before the people, and
shareholders that we receive. We have
tried to be as encouraging as possible.
and yet do not believe in gushing in
formation without any facts connected
with it. 1t is a fact that the "Big Four
well at High Island is capped. We are
informed that oil is struck in paying
quantities there, though we cannot estab-
lish this fact, but there are five new
wells going down on High Island, two Of
them in operation and three new derricks
about completed One of the wells is
within fifty feet of our property; another
within 500 feet; also another within 1000
yards. These wells are being put down
by large companies-Captain Lucas, Cap
tain Cade, and the Guffy Oil crowd. Does
~
oil at High Island that these people should
go to the expense of putting down other
wells without some knowledge of the for
nation they are into? You have the in
formation as we have it, but these are
facts.
It is also reported that genuine gusher
has been brought in at Kaisermound, AL
vim. Texas. We are in receipt Of copy
of telegram from o. S. Cummings OF
the Bank of Alvin, to B. R. Hicks, presi-
dent of the Greater New York Home Oil
Company, which reads as follows:
Alvin, Tex, Jan. 9, 1902.
Aldrich Court Bldg,
As Broadway. New York:
We brought the genuine gusher Kaiser
mound to-day, spouting above derrick.
(Stgned.) %. S. Cummings.
The United Stat es Fuel Oil Company is
interested, and owns property In zee at
both High Island and Alvin, and the first
sure sign Of a gusher near this eompany's
ground in either locality, 1t Is the pur-
pose of this company to Immediately put
down new wells. Remember that every
shareholder in this company is entitled to
an interest in anything that comes on
hereafter, in all new wells that may
hereafter be drilled, all new grounds that
may hereafter be acquired. No matter
what anybody says about the United
States Fuel Oil Company, it has been long
enough before the people to show SINGER
ity Of purpose, to show the shareholders
where the money is going, and it shows
Improvement, it shows new holdings, new
contracts; it is Endorsed by the best peo-
pie, banks, and largest oil companies in
the south, and what the curbstone, half
fed agent of some other company says
about US is OF little consequence. There
was time in the beginning that it hurt
and delayed our progress, but we started
right, We have worked hard and faith
full and are not ashamed of our progress,
our company or our holdings. and we chal-
lenge all other companies % show the as
sets, the amount Of property In fee, &C
cording to the capitalization, that the
United States Fuel Oil Company posses
ses.
It Is only short time now when the
stock of the United States Fuel Oil COM
pany will be entirely off the market. It
will be a shorter time when the stock
will be advanced to Is cents share. then
upward to the dollar mark as predicted
long ago. If you have not purchased your
stock you had better do so at once; you
may send your money some morning and
it will be returned to you. We can sell
only the amount we have on hand; there
is limit to the treasury stock, and that
limit Is closer at hand than you have any
idea. When the last share is sold it will
be impossible to fill an order. Can you
afford to miss a life pension, an income,
or great amount of money for the chance
of losing little, and with our guaranteed
proposition of oil, pipe line. facilities,
transportation, etc., is not that chance re-
duced to almost certainty? It is hard
to establish facts in stubborn minds.
Stock books closing; price of shares now
10 cents each; advanced to 25 cents when
the wire comes from Beaumont that the
first we'll is in. You will probably not
know about this until it is in; then it
will be too late.
