LIQUID GOLD
Oklahoma Oil Opportunity

Oil is the greatest money
maker and Oklahoma is the
greatest field in the United
States in the value of her oil
production, totaling over 81 ,0OO,-
600 income weekly. Glen Pool
and other Oklahoma fields made
millionaires rapidly when oil
was selling at thirtv,five cents
per barrel. Now the price is
more than double. Fortunes
are accumulated almost between
the rising and setting of the
sun in the great Mid Continent
field of Oklahoma.
When one considers that the
State produces more than ST.
600 1000 a week, and that wells
can be drilled in from six to
twenty days, and often these
wells pay for themselves within
a week after drilling, that the
owner of a single forty acres of
land frequently has an income
of $500 to $500 per day and that
stock bought in a company at 81 -.
or $40 per share is many times
worth 500 to $500 a share with
in a year, ones brain reels at
the thought; and yet this is the
history of many individuals in
the State of Oklahoma that reads
like some fairy tale. The gold
fields of California in their palm
lest days are left far in the rear;
the great gold awakening in
Alaska is forgotten; the diamond
fields of Kimberly in South
Africa pale into insigniticance.
Nothing in the history of civil
lied mankind has aided man in
accumulating fortunes so rap.
idly as the oil and gas interests
of the great Mid Continent field
liz the State of Oklahoma.
Here even the children of the
white, Indian and negro races,
who have had a small piece of
land left them through inheri.
lance. have frequently an income
of 500 to $500 per day from
royalties, while the oil company
that is developing their land is
frequently making 100 per cent
a month. Language fails to ex.
press the reality, and even eye
witnesses a hardly believe the
marvellous facts of production
of oil.
A number of strong compan-
les hare been organized and are
operating. Among these is the
Great Western Petroleum Com
pany of Tulsa, Oklahoma, incor.
porated under the laws of Okla.
homa for 81 GOO, 900 with a strong
directorate of business men,
three of whom are experienced
and practical oil men, which is
now offering 100,00 shares of
their stock at the par value of
81, stock to be sold in blocks of
five shares and upward.
Those who desire to know
something more of the great oil
interests are invited to address
B. j. Waugh, the, Stock Sales
Manager of the Great Western
Petroleum company, Tulsa, Okla,
and make inquiries, or get the
published literature of this COM
pany, giving it's holdings and
other facts and figures as to the
real condition of the oil inter
ests in the State of Oklahoma.

conclusion of a hard fought case
in which Rose, Frank B. Warner

Warner has agreed to plead
guilty but his sentence has not

The case in which the banker
was freed is one of two which
