Reasons Why This Stock Is Pay
ing Dividends.

Mine hundred barrels per day will be the re-
fining capacity Of the Uncle Sam refneries, COM
mencing this week. By some time In August
1T win be up to 1900 barrels per day, and by
some time in October or November it will be up
to twenty seven hundred (2,7OO) barrels per
day. Suppose however, that the company only
averages 1000 barrels per day for the six
months ending Dec. 20, 1905, or; in other
words, only handles one hundred and eighty
thousand (1S0,OO0) barrels, at profit Of say
only 81 per barrel, that would make a total
profit Of $1SO,OoO Now, the company will
Feline more Oh than that, will make bigger
profits than 81 per barrel, as 1t win produce the
bigger part Of 1000 barrels per day on the
average from it's own wells. However, $3.50 900
would pay nearly 2 per cent the entire capt
talization, or 2 cents per share in six months
on stock offered you now at 20 cents per share.
The company guarantees dividend of $4,000,
and even though 1t only pays the $4,000, the
balance will go into increased development and
make your stock Just that much more valuable.

with the amount Of capital and men and
influence that is back of this company now, 1t
certainly can and viii force it to the top notch,

when YOU stop to consider the profit in refining
oil. Allow the company 81 per barrel profit,
and the total earnings on $4,000 barrels per
day would total Sc, 100000 yearly, or pay over
sixty (6O) cents per year on stock now selling

course. but then that is just the way it counts

Continues to Keep It's Promises.

Several months ago the Uncle Sam Oil Com
pany promised to declare a dividend on all
stock of record on June 20, 1905. This was
done, just promised, and after several weeks
of hard work our clerical force is ready to
commence mailing these dividends to all stock
holders, and the first will be in the mails
Tuesday of this week. This dividend is being
paid from the earnings Of the Cherryvale re-
fnery, Uncle Sam, No. 1, and with Atchison
refinery, Uncle Sam, No. 2, added to the re
fning capacity Of No. I, at Cherryvale, and
Tulsa refinery, Uncle Sam, No. 3, which will
open up in August
Another Dividend.
will be declared on all stock Of record Deem
Der 20, 1905. This dividend Will be between
$4,000 and 100000. This company guarantees
this dividend to be not less than $4,000, and
viii very likely pay considerably more. b.
the time this dividend is paid you will see the
principal work Of the Uncle Sam Company
completed and It will then be only ques
ton Of short time until the dividends will
increase at each dividend period until this stock
will gain in solid value to several times thu
present selling price.
