A Statement
From tine President

For the past IS years. travelling or living in
Oklahoma, | have watched the progress OF the
oil industry. ! remember well when they
brought in the first big production in the
famous Glenn Pool district.
Many times, however did | resolve to in
vestigate oil opportunities heard OF this,
that and the other fellow, who cleaned up
handsome profits in a small way buying and
selling leases, or in stock investments. OPP
portunity Knocked in vain.
A hundred times had been urged ts~put
money into oil ventures in new fields as they
developed Something always interfered. Al
most. as many times have kicked myself
when | saw what others made out OF the
things passed up
Two years ago made my first investment
in oil and-I made money. The last year |
have fairly walowed in oil matters morning,
noon and night ! have turned my capital
over a number OF timcs-bought, and sold
leases that have nettcd quite few thousand
dollars profit have made a success of my
own investments from the start and so far
have never entered a single deal that has not
made some money on the investment
In Grady county just north of the Santa
Fe and Black Hawk wells, was fortunate or
alert enough to discover moneyed syndicate
of Boston, Mass, was quietly conducting an
exhaustive geological investigation upon
which thousands Of dollars was being spent
They were taking leases right and left
Quickly | secured option on 1000 acres of
leases, knowing that when had secured them
| could lind money to swing the deal of get
ting it developed.
This was the prize had been looking for.
From the start knew that some day would
find a big propositon-the vehicle upon
which myself and all those interested with me
might eventually cash in big. 1t was too big
for me to handle aone--far too big ! took
into my confidence number of my best
friends in Oklahoma City, who Immediately
saw its possibilities and were willing to in
vest. | organized the Treasure State Oil
Company, six months ago and placed with
the following well-known business men more
than $4,000 worth OF the capital stock.
