We admit that lots Of investors have
lost money in oil stocks and the same can
be said of bank failures railroad stocks,
vestments. However, there have been
larger and greater fortunes made in oil
than in any other industry in the United
States. There are always the good and
bad investment in every industry and the
Uncle sam company certainty is giving
proof every few days of the valuable I'M
developed assets back of the Uncle Sam.
Only last week Uncle Sam completed oiler

oiler, as can be proven by reliable men,
flowed over five hundred $500 barrels OF
high grade oil the hrst day. OF course,
all oil wells produce more oil the first few
days than they do after they have settled
down. However. we can prove that this
oil, manufactured into the different pro
