TO BOOM PRICE OF
OIL IS REPORT NOW
----
FOR RISE SAID TO
BE PLENTIFUL IN THE
CUSHING FIELD.

Indications OF a rise in the price
lof oil are plentiful in the Cushing
Drumright field said Chas. Griswold,
who is here today "Offers of 20 cents
d barrel for oil and tankage are being
freely made in the field at present.
Figuring the cost of tankage at 25
cents d barrel, the average cost, that
would leave about so cents a barrel
for oil. These are not scattering of
fers but are pretty nearly the usual
thing III the field right now.
"There is a feeling, too, among the
producers that a rise in the price of
the crude product is overdue and
that the day Of 30-cent oil in the Okla
homa fields is at an end. The de-
mand for tankage facilities is increas-
ing and several new tank farms are
being planned about here. One OF
these is the b. B. Jones tank farm on
the Simmons lease. south OF Drum
right. This will be farm of about
twenty-five tanks though there is
space for the building of additional
tanks when necessary"
