A Statement
From the President

For the past Is years, travelling or living in
Oklahoma have watched the progress OF the
oil industry. j remember we'll when they
brought in the first big production IN the
famous Glenn Pool district
Many times, however, did | resolve to in
vesigate oil opportunities. ! heard OF this,
that and the other fellow who cleaned up
handsome profits in small way buying and
selling leases, or in stock investments. OPP
portunity knocked in vain.
hundred times had been urged to put
money into oil ventures III 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 made money The last year |
have fairly wallowed in oil matters, morning,
noon and night have turned my capital
over a number of timcs-bought and sold
leases that have netted quito few thousand
dollars profit | have made a success of my
own investments from the start and so far
have never entered 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 moncycd syndicate
OF Boston, Mass, was quietly conducting an
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 find money TO swing the deal OF get
ting it developed
This was the prize had been looking for.
From the star, knew that some day would
find big propoSition-the vehicle upon
which myself and all those interested with me
might eventually cash i'll big. 1t was too big
for me to handle alone-far too big. ! took
into my confidence a 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
