TO INVESTORS

The Uncle Sam Oil Company has reach
ed the stage of its career where II Is no
longer a small local concern. but Is as
Stunning the proportions of great ma
tional enterprise. II has three great re-
fineries completed and miles Of main
trunk pipe lire and laterals, scores OF
distributing stations and a great enter
prise three-fourths completed, easily
large enough to market and manufacture
at the very least five thousand barrels
OF oil per day. At the present time crude
oil is selling at the ridiculously low price
of 81 cents per barrel for the highest
grade, while the plans of the criminal
oil trust are TO run ii still lower. Inc
Uncle Sam Oil Company has been consio-
ering this situation in all of its bearings
for months. and there is practically but
one sane thing TO do. and that is 10 Dulld
storage tanks and store al least enough
of this cheap oil to operate all three OF
the Uncle Sam refineries for four years
and to keep the storage built up so that
"A four years supply will always be on
hand Every barrel of this oil placed
in storage with the pipe line and distrib-
uting stations and equipment completed
will bring this company at least 80 per
barrel This will enable the company TO
bring its oil sales up to four and cne-
half million dollars per year and Will
enable IT to buy an additional million
and a half barrels Of oil each year to
take sthe place Of the amount manufac-
tured, and sold and to retire one million
and a half dollars of bonds yearly. For
these purposes five million dollars of
twenty-year first mortgage per cent
bonds will be sold.
The production of crude petroleum in
the Pennsylvania. California and Texas
oil fields is rapidly decreasing. and the
only great oil fields in the world 10
which the people must look for a supply
Of crude oil are the hansas-Oklahoma
fields This oil is bound TO Increase in
price and will be worth at least one dol
lar and a half barrel in a very snort
time The railroads and great manufac-
turing enterprises in Texas which have
been using and are using oil for fuel
