The Mantua public school will close FRI
day afternoon, June 3.
Pancoast Roberts has moved to Glassboro,
and Samuel M. Coombs has moved in the
toll gate and again taken up his old occu-
patton Of collecting toll. We are glad to
see Mr.. Coombs in his old position, but there
should be no toll gates in Gloucester county.
They were all right years ago, but since the
county has built stone roads on either side
Of the toll roads, the County Board Of Free
holders should be fair to all tax payers and
buy the toll roads at fair price and give
us free travel all over the county AS it
now is, many of our farmers have to pay
toll on all produce carted to the city, and
their share Of county tax to keep up free
roads in other parts Of the county. It's not
just.

Drills Are Running
Night and Day; the
Pumps Are Rum
ming the Same Way.

This may sound big, but it is
a fact nevertheless that can be
proven We don't ask any in
vestor to put his money into
Publishers stock on "hot air"
assurances, come down and go
out to the field at night. The
company has natural gas lights
at the drill rigs and at the pump
ing plant. You can see by night
how things are moving. The
Publishers are getting there
while some men sleep. They have
now commenced pumping night
and day, and from now on the
pipe line receipts will climb to a
higher mark every day. The
Publishers are doing things.
Four big wells have been COM
pleted in the last fifteen days,
three more will be completed in
the next two weeks. Now, this
is the kind of a company to buy
stock in, as we need your help
and want you to join us, but we
offer value received. The stock
is going, every day lowers the
amount left. If you are man
of limited means buy one hun
dred shares, 1t may go to $4.OO
per share and is the safest and
most promising investment in
the Central West. We say this
as business man and know
whereof we speak. Publishers
stock is cash at twenty cents;
you can buy much or little with
a feeling that when you go to
bed at night you have placed
your money where it will grow

Seven Tanks Of Oil
sold to the Stand
ard Oil Company.

That the Publishers have the
real thing can be proved by no
better evidence than the pipe
line tickets from the Standard
Oil Company The Publishers
have delivered to the Standard
Oil Company seven tanks Of oil
in the last five days. If you are
looking for a company that has
oil stock to sell and will give you
value received, and one that bus
mess men are buying stock in,
come down and see the Publish
ers' field, with the drills running
night and day. See the big
pumping plant in action and see
the oil as the steady stream
flows into the receiving tanks.
The Publishers Company have
the goods in sight. You don't
have to buy "blue sky" or shot
air. We can "show you" or
will refund your travelling ex-
penses.
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1904-09-23

be delivered and is being deliv-
cred weekly, and a we'll is coming
in every THREE OR FOUR
DAYS. The Publishers Com
pany drilled in more wells in
August than any five ordinary
stock companies in the oil fields.
They will drill ten times as many
wells in the next six months as
any company in the oil district,
because they have proven
grounds to work on. The Stan
dard wants the oil, has pipe line
connections with the Publishers
tanks, and oil is money as quick
as oil is in the receiving tanks.
Tie company has money enough
in sight from stock sales, and by
using the proceeds from the pro-
ductiOn for the next fifteen weeks
will complete fifty wells by Janu-
airy, and will have no trouble to
deliver and cash in at least
EIGHTY THOUSAND DOL
LARS (ss0,OOOOO) for oil in the
next twelve months, while any
day they may strike the main
pool and double this. The man
who has foresight enough to buy
Publishers stock will make big
money. A thousand dollars now
invested may earn a small for
tune. You cannot lose. All is
gain before you. Better line up
today with the winner of the oil
fields before it is too late.
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1904-09-23

AS usual, the Publishers COM
pany have drilled in another
good we'll. You don't have to
take our word for this. Come
down to the field and see the oil
as it flows two-inch pipe full
into the receiving tank. This
makes the Publishers nineteen
Q9) big wells. and others will
soon be completed.
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1904-09-23

and above board. There are no
stoch iobbing tricks resorted to,
to make a purchaser believe he
is securing something that he is
not. Publishers Company with
a large production right now
know they cannot pay a divi-
dend before the first day of April
next spring; a company that
Jumps in and promises a divi-.
dend before they even have their
pumping plant, is giving you hot
air.. Talk is cheap, but it takes
oil to secure oil checks from the
Standard and it takes Standard
oil checks to pay stockholders
dividends, unless a company re-
sorts to the old trick of paying
dividends to stockholders from
the proceeds of stock sales which
is contrary to law and simply
means that you are getting part
of your own money. back as a
dividend. Lots of sense in send
ing in a hundred dollars TO q
company and then have them
send you ten dollars of it back
as a dividend. The Publishers
Company is doing a square bust
ness and bankers, merchants and
business men every where are
buying the stock, because they
realize the company is under the
hands of business men who are
crowding development and are
building up a large production
and will consequently pay big
dividends. For a birdseye view
of the oil wells and further par
ticulars write or wire. Send your
check or draft at once. .
Following their usual good
luck, the Publishers Company
struck another big oiler last
Thursday, about midnight. Well
was shot the following day with
fifty quarts of nitro glycerinea and
flowed through the casing in
forty minutes after the shot.
Saturday morning when the
drillers commenced to put in the.
tubing the oil gushed clear over
the top of the derrick at six diff
ferent times. The we'll is now
under control and is flowing oil
into Publishers tanks at the
rate of close to forty barrels per
day. 1t will settle down and
make a good twenty barrel we'll
and will add d steady daily in.

nineteen large producing wells,
thirteen OF same are now Con-
nected with the pumping plant
and a force Of eight men are con-
Meeting up the balance Of the
nineteen. while the drills are run
ming night and day and will soon
have THREE more wells COM

things. They. will drill well

No. 20. which is being drilled
right in the top of Kincaid hill,
will be completed in the next
forty-eight hours, 1t will be an
other good well, as it is on aline
between oilers and is on proven
ground. The Publishers Com
pany has oil lands and they get

Dollars Worth Of

Every week adds new produc-
ing wells to the Publishers field,
every day the company is grow
ing stronger, every hour the oil
is flowing into the receiving
tanks and is making Publishers
stockholders money even while
they sleep. Don't be a sorehead
or knocker, and wait around
until the stock is all taken. The
Publishers have oil, they have
proven oil lands, not :'pasture
lands" they now have NINE
TEEN large wells. with room on
proven ground for 800. The
company is. vet with its KNEE
PANTS on, but it has a future
and you need not be surprised to
see the stock go past $500 per
share in the next three years.
One success generally follows
another. The Publishers Com
pany has something to show
you, has proof that 10 man can
get back of, has the 'stuff'' in
sight, and the stock is a bargain
at 20 cents per share, for the
assets for two times this is now
in sight. Come to Cherryvale
and we will take you to the wells.
The oil is there, the pumps are
running and you can see with
your own eyes. At the rate the
oil is now going into the receiv-
ing tanks and being sold to the
Standard Oil Company, very
close to ONE THOUSAND DOL
LARS WORTH of oil can now
