okLAHoMA's OIL OPPORTUNITY.


THE signal of distress has been hosted in California oil
crelesthe wells not keeping up with the demand
and storage oil is being drawn upon.
CALIFORNIA; oil production does equal that OF Okla
homa And while that Pacific coast state will probably
continue TO furnish oil for number of years, the sit
uaton there is pertinent reminder that the United
States somewhat dependent upon Oklahoma meet an
increasing camor for all kinds of petroleum products.
All the world is asking for more oil The uses OF re-
fined products the increase the calling for an
extra supply and peace will find the oil demands still un
satisfied
All OF this is encouragement those WHO interested
in oil in Oklahoma And be it known that the number OF
Oklahoma persons who owners Of some kind OF oil
property are quite Many substantial corpora
tons have sold large Of stock citizens Many
development companies have earned fine dividends for their
stockholders and thousands Of have grown rich in the
purchase and sale Of leases
And don't overlook the farmer in the oil inventory
Thousands of farmers of Oklahoma deriving handsome
revenues and royalty. Other farmers have sold
their oil acres for Aaron Drumrght is
likely the most conspicuous character this line his oC
acres OF owpriced ground which he acquired from the
government having brought forth millions Of dollars OF
riches from the depths of the earth And Aaron Drum
right after having made the initial payment his land
soous
wagon, to abandon the land which just wouldn'
mature!
The future is to bring forth other Aaron Drumrishts
Oklahoma is and will be the bright spot of the nation wher
oil is considered The demand for oil is such that develop
ment in Oklahoma oil fields of the future will make some
OF the past accomplishments OF insignificant nature
While Oklahoma oil field is discovered each tint
that the rises the expansion of the oil is like magic
1t but few months ago that Red Fork the sec
tion to which ooked by the thousand But the OF
fields spread Red Fork is all but forgotten by th
old timers in the game. The ateday producers hav
sprung from every part of the state Gushing asonshe
the world Headton attracted the attention Of leading OF
men OF this country and of foreign lands. Then there
the Hoy field the Kay county field the Okmugec district
the Cement section the Grady county tests and almos
countless other spots where oil is being produced and wher
the production is be increased assast csing
set in deep holes.
Most of us do not realize the increase which L
see in the oil industry of Oklahoma While the shorag
OF casing may check drilling this be only temporar
affair and development companies and refining corporation
planning greater in the next few months
As illustration OF how the Oklahoma oil fields ar
viewed from distance we have the opinion of an easter
nancer who here few days ago; he told US tina
investors of the other communities looked upon Okla
homa oil being OF inviting nature for those who wis
to place their funds places that will bring returns
not hazard the money invested
Our government is building great fleet of ship
While Of these may not fuel OIL many Of them vii
And all of them will great quantities Of ubricatns o
So the demand for oil increases and Oklahoma the fe
spot to which the world turns in its quest for OIL.
While dares predict the riches that will accru
to Oklahoma people who have the right kind OF oil inve
ments we are going to see great many mllonair,
through the oil And we're going to tens Of tho,
sands of people grow rich in short une through Garrett
investments in honest development stocks in leases ar
through the shares of stock in the hundreds Of rener
now operating and be built the call that
from nations which require oil and gasoline to cart
on an Interesting business
Great is Oklahoma oil And as the need Of the wor
d increases with California al,erng Oklahoma oil is to
c a greater factor
