most persstent mlliona ire maker has been pouring
from Oklahoma's bosom in ever increasing guam
titles many have been the opportunities offered TO
investors to share in this vast, wealth producing
enterprise.
Companies have been formed many of them
meritorious but in all the history of Okahomas oil
development there has never been offered such an
opportunity for the small investor to reap har-
vest from the precious liquid as IS now onered oy
the Northwestern Petroleum Company
Shares in companies holding leases in what
seemed to be promising territory have been offered
before; special and numerous inducements have
been made the investor, but it remained FOR the
Northwestern Petroleum company to cap the climax
with the most extraordinary offer that has ever
found its way to those who would divert part OF
the oil millions to their own benefit
Mr. c. c. Campbell president and general man.
ager of the company, a who knows the oil
game from to Z, having been responsible Tor
much development in the Illinois and Indiana fields
saw immense possibilities in Northwestern Oklaho-
ma. In Woods county, he was aware OF an antcine
that seemed to him to be more promising than any
field, with the possible exception of the great Cush-
ing field. Confirming his own belief with the most
favorable reports from geologists Mr. Campbell pro-
ceeded to acquire more than 1000 acres of leases
near Faulkner, in the northwest part of Woods
county. Last week. Hager Bates, noted geologists
of Tulsa, reported to MIR. Campbell the results OF
their examination of the companys holdmgs-and
their report sustained, in every respect the opinion
the officers of the company had of the acreage.
With this acreage, the Northwestern Petroleum
Company formed with a capital stock OF $780,
900, par value of the shares to be $1OO. Much OF
the stock has already been sold, and each and
share has brought par favorable are the chances
thought that big pool underlies the Northwestern
holdings.
Having been fortunate enough to secure 800
acres of leases in addition the 4O42 owned by the
company, it is Mr.. Campbells plan to give stock
holders another chance for riches. Instead of hold
ing out this 800 for his or his associates
benefit Mr. Campbell conceived the idea that makes
the Northwestern offering the most attractive oil
proposition placed before the investing world
With each purchase of 100 shares of the capital
stock of the company, valued at 500, lease 10
acres of land will be given the purchaser until the
entire 500 acres disposed Of This means that 30
will have ten-acre lease, situated in one OF
the most promising undeveloped fields in Oklahoma,
in addition to sharing in whatever may develop
from the company's 4,O42 acres.
In addition, Mr.. Campbell guarantees that each
and every lease given to purchasers of stock will
be within three miles of the first we'll to be drilled
on the company's holdings. Should gusher well be
brought in the Northwestern holdings land from
the way the big companies have been paying almost
any price for leases, this supposition is the most
reasonably, these ten-acre tracts alone would be
worth hundreds of dollars, in addition to the share
that the stakeholder would have in the well and in
all the company's holdings.
You who have worked and scrimped for years,
barely making both ends meet; you who have
dreamed of the advantages of wealth, of the de-
light in being able to purchase those many things
that are listed in your minds extravangances,
here is a chance for you to try, under the most
favorable circumstances for portion of those gold
en- millions that pouring, and will continue to
pour from Okahoma's fertile fields
Those few dollars that you have accumulated,
at the best will draw more than per cent. Even
with compounded interest, they will reach
proportions greater than small nest egg. Here is
the opportunity for you to do what others have
done--make few idle dollars put you the road
to afluence. Below given of the returns
said to have been made to small investors in recent
years by Oklahoma oil companies. Not one of these
