SILVER DIME on Co., Galveston, Tex.
Gentlemen-After a trip to your
offices in Galveston and a thorough
canvass of your producing wells and
holdings in the Beaumont Oil Fields, 1
cannot too strongly commend your
company to the confidence of the gen.
eral public, and especially the investor.
To the man who desires his small saw
ings to earn something for the future,
! know of no better, surer or safer in
vestment than stock in the Silver Dime
Oil Co.
From a personal knowledge of the
promoters of the company, their integ-
rity and ability, their holdings and the
open and straightforward way in which
they are managing the business, l am
assured of its success. Promoters and
investors in the stocks Of the Silver
Dime Oil Co. stand upon the same
basis; they are all partners, and the
possibilities of the company's business,
in view of its holdings of land, flowing
wells and contiguous land, are beyond
human conjecture. Count me among
your staunchest advocates, and call ON
me for anything in the way of verif-
OF your statements in regard to
the Silver Dime. l have investigated
thoroughly and have found the half
never been told. Very respectfully,
Col. GEO. E. PATTON,
Late superintendent Confederate Home
Of Missouri.
