No industry in the world returns as
large profits on the money actually in
vested as OIL, but small investors seldom
get in on the ground floor" of legitimate
oil operations. $50, 800 or $500 in a
company capitalized at from one to FIVE
millions doesn't earn much even If the
company is successful, but such amounts
invested in an coil pool with only $4,000
capital means VERY LARGE PROFITS
when production begins.
We have extensive eleaseholds in the
heaviest producing zone of the rich Kan
sas oil fields, that we are now going to
develop by organizing "oil pools to drill
the necessary wells. Each pool will have
a capital of $4,000 divided into so shares of
$50 par value, of which we shall retain 20
shares for furnishing the leasehold of 40
acres and managing development work;
our profit thus depending upon this sue
cess of each pool.
The average production of wells in the
independence field is about 20 barrels per
day. One such well in each pool will pay
OVER GA PER CENT annual dividend
