A CHANCE OF A LIFE TIME.
Denver Negroes, Invest in Wyoming
Oil Lands-A Chance to Better
Your Condition.

rev people KNOW Oh tne "OuQeTlu4
possibilities in the oil business and
loftentimes people who do know of
these possibilities OF enormous profits
have no opportunity to get into good
thing, for the reason that they are
blinded because of an universal preju-
dice and believe that the "other fell
low" is getting more of his share than
he is entitled to. Reasoning thus, he
does not stop to think that the incor-
porators have not only their money at
stake, but are using their experience.
which has cost them hours or tireless
energy, many years of their lives and
probably hours of laying wide awake
nights to devise ways and means to
bring their efforts to a successful con-
clusion.
| A short time ago, Messrs. A. A.
Waller and E. L. Means became inter-
ested in an oil company which was
developing promising field in the
Brenning Basin, Wyo., and these gen.
tlemen became so enthusiastic over
the possibilities offered by. the COM
pany that they secured an option on a
considerable sized block of land for
the purpose of interesting the pro-
gressive Colored people OF Denver on
a club basis, with the ultimate pur-
pose of drilling for oil upon the block
set aside for this association or club,
all of which land lies contiguous to
the Brenning Basin.
Messrs Waller and Means have
been successful to the point of having
interested almost enough members to
complete the organization and last
| Tuesday evening the members met in
the offices of the Colored American
Loan and Realty Co., 2735 Welton st.
The general manager Mr.. Shannon.
os the Douglass-Wyoming Oil Co., told
the members present of the organiZa-
tion of the company; of the particular
price of land; outlined the working
and developing plans, and went into
details of their expansion program,
answering questions which were pro-
pounded to him to the satisfaction of
the many present. He said that there
were no inner circle nor secrets and
invited inspection of the company's
books and method of operation. The
hour was late when Mr.. Shannon fin
lished, but there were quite number
i of the club who increased their hold
ings and several who had not already
joined, made application for member
| ship. Because of the late hour the
plans for organization of the pro
gressive Colored Peoples Oil ascot
alton" were deferred until Monday
night, Oct. 16, at o'clock, when plans
for the election of the president, vice
president, secretary and treasurer, to-
gether with the otrer officers, will take
place. There are few memberships
in this club yet open at the present
price, small payment, and the rest
on easy terms, can secure you an OPP
portunity to better your conditions.
Parties desiring Information on the
subject will be given full details upon
application to Messrs. Means and
Waller at 2735 Welton ST., or at the
Co., 939 18th st.
