Oklahoma Oil Opportunity

"S'''a WI SPpOTkOIuIy
Oil is the greatest money maker and
Oklahoma is the greatest field in tho
United States in the value of her
Oil productions, totaling over $1,000
600 income weekly. Glenn Pool and
other Oklahoma fields made mill
lionaires rapidly when oil was selling
at thirty-five cents per barrel Now
the price is more than double For
tunes are accumulated almost between
the rising and setting Of the sun in
the great Mid Continent field of Okla
homa.
When one considers that the state
produces more than 100000 a week,
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
single forty or eighty acres Of land
frequently has an income of $4,000
to $4,000 day and that stock
bought in a company at $100 or $40
a share is many times worth $4,000
to $4,000 share within a year, ones
brain reels at the thought. And yet
this is the history of many individ-
uals in the state Of Oklahoma that
reads like some fairy tale. The gold
fields Of California in their palmfeet
days are left far in the rear; the
great gold awakening In Alaska ID
forgotten; the diamond fields OF Kim
6erley in South Africa pale into in

Company that Is developing their

the reality and even eye witnesses
can hardly believe the marvellous facts
of production of oil.
A number of strong companies have
been organized and are operating.
Among these is the Great Western
