In Conclusion.

The Uncle Sam company has naver
promised a pipe line to st. Louis or
to Port Arthur, but it has promised ;
pipe line from the Cherryvale refinery
to the navigable waters OF the Mis-
souri, river. It can build this pipe line
because of its sure foundation. It has
never depended upon any of the vo-
tsries of Frenzied Finance for funds
with which to complete its great
work, but step by step 1t has marched
on, paying its way, depending upon
the loyalty, independence and good
faith of the lovers of liberty in KAN
sas and adjoining states. It is now q
mountain of strength and growing
stronger every hour. The laws en-
acted by the last Kansas legislature
have given protection and confidence.
As before state, the company has conn
p1eted one great refinery at Cherry
vale. All hands will now turn to the
completion of the Missouri river pipe
| line and the building of other re-
| fineries and the acquiring and de-
the company. Topeka is almost de
| rectly on our Missouri river main
trunk pipe line route. We want to
see this pipe line built right by it ana
big storage tanks and q branch line
run right to the furnaces of its man
| ufactures. The oil men who ara
struggling for justice IN the oil fields
look upon Topeka as having been
more than friendly to their interests.
The Uncle Sam Oil company wants to
be of service to Topeka and it needs
Topeka's help. The Uncle Sam COM
pany is a Kansas proposition lighting
for a market for a Kansas product,
and by building this pipe line to Toe
peka it will help build up the capital
city of the state that has done more
for the Independent oil men and
square deal than has ever been done
before. With this pipe line to Topeka
it means that Topeka will secure both
fuel and refined oil at reasonable
prices. The oil trust cares no more
for Topeka than it does for the of
producers which they have robbed.
The Uncle Sam OIL company can de-
liver the refined and fuel oils to every
citizen in Shawnee county at reason-
able prices and make good substantial
profits for every stockholder. When
Topeka can say to the world that the
greatest Independent oil company in
the West, backed by over two thou
sand Kansas stockholders, ali trust
haters of the first degree, has COM
pleted a pipe line tapping an abund-
ance of petroleum for manufacturing
purposes, she can offer what few i'm
| land cities in the west can offer. The
Uncle Sam company, as before stated,
wished to help Topeka because it is a
Kansas town, loyal to the interests of
Kansas, and we think that the benz
efts and results to Topeka from the
completion of this pipe isne makes the
proposition by this company more
than fair. Several weeks ago a like
proposition was under consideration
/ and for some time the company has
been in communication with the To-
! peka Commercial club. and this pro-
posal is made through the press of
| Topeka to both the Commercial club
land the citizens of Shawnee county. as
we thought this the best way to open
negotiations The time to accept q
proposition is when it is offered. There
might be other cities wanting this pipe
line. If you want Topeka to have it.
send for five hundred or one thou
sand shares of stock at 1 2 cents per
share and see your neighbor and have
him do the same thing. and pipe line
to Topeka will soon be completed.
