Car Advertising US. Government Lands m s. E. Oklahoma Draws
 Crowds

Great interest is being shown in the Indian land car now in Birmingham, located at L, & N. station. The car is being sent out by some of the public spirited business men of southeastern Oklahoma to show just what the ad- vantages of buying land direct from the government is. Eastern Oklahoma is rich in products and the purchase of the land carries all rights to the acquired acres, whether coal, oil, gas or minerals be found, as well as the products of the cultivated soil.
 Oklahoma has produced 50 per cent of the gasoline sold during the past year, and 100000 tons of coal were mined from the state last year. The government experts estimate that there is yet remaining under the sur face of Oklahoma 7s,OoO,ooO,oOo tons of coal yet to be mined.
 The crude oil produced in 1916 in the state amounted to 123,000,00O barrels.
 With these facts and figures at hand, it would seem that Oklahoma offers brilliant investment prospects.
 You buy the land direct from Uncle Sam and you get the first deed ever issued on the property, thereby assur- ing you that you, as the original pur- chaser, get it at the bottom price. Think of buying land in state that is growing as fast as Oklahoma, close to oil development, for just few dol 1ars per acre.
 Call at car at L. & N. passenger station and get all information free.
 Car open from a. m. till 3 D. m. daily and Sunday.
