CAN YOU DOUBT the extent of
this field when each and every we'll
in that territory, which was drilled to
Il sufficient depth, has brought forth a
guslier?
WILL YOU DISDELIEVE the SUI
| oeriority of the Jennings OIL Field in
| ,.llc face of a chemical analysis show
| ing Is per cent in this field as against
IS per cent at Beaumont, Tex, as an
Illuminating oil and q greater per-
centage in favor of its quality as a
lubricant, being almost entirely free
| from foreign matters supposed to be
detrimental for refining purposes?
a 300 pound pressure guage has
b@eu found inadequate to test the
pressure at the surface and q 50Ohun-
f'red pound pressure guage is now
beingconstructed to test it's pressures
The base of this oil being para
phine enhances its value from % to so
per cent over any oils having asphalt

another eight inch pii'e line is under
construction, right of way having
been secured, survey has been :aade
and excavation commenced. ais line
is to the railroad and .Icrmentau

rich men are growing richer. Lands
are enhancing in value every day as
developments in this field are cHrl.1
on. The holdings of this Company
are so extensive that the iEcrea sed

sures large dividends to our stock

about 200 acres of we'll selected oil
lands in Acadia and Calcasieu par
ishes, all Of which show good surface
Indications. Twenty acres is located
in the proven field, all comprising the
choicest selections and most promising
location as selected by expert oil men

IS THERE DANGER or OVER PRODUCTION?
The fuel users of the entire world
are eagerly watching the oil develop
ments of the southwest with the hope
that sufficient territory will be de-
ve]oped to insure an abundantsupply
to warrant the change of furnaces
from the fuel now used to oil, which is
the cheapest, cleanest and best fuel
known. The greater its production,
the greater will be the demand and
hence u better price. 1t has not been
many years since coal and coke were
valueless because fuel users were not
satisfied OF an abundant supply. The
same will be true relative to oil, last
but not least.
HOW WILL " HANDLE ITS PRODUCT?
Through its own storage tanks. pipe
line, tank cars and selling agents,
thus obtaining the greatest value by
selling to the consumer direct.

prove rich in oil, the stock will read
