Financial Condition of the Company

Authorized capitalization, $4,000, 900. Par
value of the stock is 81 per share. Every
share of stock draws the same amount
of dividends as any other share. Sixty
one per cent of this stock is now sold and
contracted for. This forever places con-
trolling interest in the hands of trust
square deal. We want this kind of men
to buy the balance of this stock. There
are now in the treasury 3,S50,00o shares,
which will be sold at from II to 80 cants
per share. There are thousands of dollars
in cash in the treasury. We have a big
income daily from the sale of the refined
and fuel oils from the Cherryvale refinery,
now in full operation and shipping oil ev-
cry day. There are also $135,000 subscribed
on gilt edged installments. This money
will be paid in during the next months
1t comes in from $500 to $500 per day. In
addition to this the company has over $2S,-
coo worth of refined and crude oil in stor-
age.
The stock still in the treasury should net
the company close to 5000 900. This amount
will complete our pipe line to navf2able
water and complete 200 more wells on the
vast holdings of the company. The out
put and earnings then of our vast Droduc-
tion, with the great refinery at Cherry
avle will bring the company several thou
sand dollars profits per. day and will easi-
ly pay substantial dividends and complete
two more refineries- This is assuredly a
strong, growing manufacturing company,
building step by step, and paying as 1t
goes.

Any man who has ever been on the
ground knows that the stock of the Uncle
sam Oil company, with it's great refinery
completed and its thousands of acres of
oil and gas lands and a large production
of oil already secured, Should sell for at
least 20 to % cents per share. However,
this company has d great work to do,
and every day the pipe line remains un-
completed the company will lose the
equal to $500 per day, or, in other words,
the pipe line would earn us this amount
of money if we had it completed. Now
the company has been determined on
building this pipe line from the start,
and where there is a will there is a way.
So, regardless of the great assets back
of this stock the company is offering
the investing public fortune maker in
this stock. As before stated, the company
desires to raise at least $4,000 without
delay. We now have on our mailing lists
over 1900 probable investors. This an
nouncement viii appear in about 100 of
the leading papers of the nation. 1t will
be read by over 100000 people. The
stock is worth almost double what the
company asks. The reason we make this
sacrifice is plain. for we can take this
money and at this time crowd to compile
ton this pipe line and make it all back.
