I'm Conclusion

The competition brought about by The
Uncle Sam Oil Company fight in the
DEMONSTRATIONS oil fields Is admitted
as having saved the Kansas people sew
eral million dollars on oil products dur
ing the last five or six years. The same
good effect has reached into Missouri,
Iowa, Nebraska and Arkansas and Ok
lahoma.
At first many people thought The
Uncle Sam Oil Company could not sue
coed and OIL Trust publications tried to
scare the first stockholders with the
ridicule that the Company would never
lie able to complete the first refinery.
But 1t did complete the first refinery,
and built the second and the third re-
finery, just as it planned at the be-
ginning.
However, the persecution and litigation
and interference brought about by Trust
influence did interfere In completing a
pipe line to Kansas City; but we have
built about two hundred and twenty-five
(220 miles in the oil fields and between
our many leases connecting our one hun
bred and nine QOo) oil wells with the
Tulsa and Cherryvale refineries, until
now we have a completed property so far
as two refineries in two states and con-
Meeting our oil leases and wells are oon-
cerned.
At present there is about four hundred
thousand 100000 barrels daily oil pro-
duction in Oklahoma. The Trust bid a
price on crude up to 81. o5 per barrel until
everyone was drilling, and then ham
mered the price down until So-cent crude
is being sold in some parts of the oil dis
trict
A lot OF producers can market only a
part of their oil and many do not know
what day the market they have will be
lower or cut off.
Along our completed pipe line are sew
eral thousand wells within from two &c
ten miles. Many properties containing
hundreds of high grade light producers
can be secured at bargain prices. These
wells will produce for at least thirty
years. We can purchase these producing
properties by a substantial payment ir
cash and then make payments equal tc

oil. The Cushing crude is about one
third gasoline.
The panic in the oil fields makes cash
hard to get and gives this Company q
chance to do big things. With our pipe
line exempted and our refineries and
distributing stations already in operation
and ready to handle increased capacities
gives The Uncle Sam Oil Company the
opportunity 1t has been building for. We
realize times are hard. but fortunes are
made by wise investments during hard
times, and certainly there never will be
a better offer to join in the oil business
on a proposition that is on a real busi-
ness basis. The Company wants TO build
big storage tanks and will take out the
gasoline and cash it and store the valu-
able by-products and hopes to get into
storage while oil is at g to 80 cents per
barrel several million barrels of the by
products which will not deteriorate much
