THE SQUARE DEAL SCORES THIS TIME IN EAST HUMBOLDT
FIELD-sTRUcK FINE OIL.
The Square Deal Oil and Gas Company, operating on the Wing
to be the best well in that section of the field. The well was shot
Wednesday morning, and is showing up for a fine production and a
money maker. The company has set to work to do some real de-
veloping, and with results to date, it appears as if its members and
stockholders were about to realize a sure enough Square Deal

What Has and What Can be Made by Investing Money in The Oil Business

There are more wealthy Negroes in Kansas and
Oklahoma than in any other two states in Amer
ica-and OIL is the reason. Have you heard of
little Sarah Rector, whose income is Six Hundred
Dollars ($6OO) per day. or Luther Manuel, who
pays an Income Tax to the Government on a val
uation of ar Eight Million Dollar Estate And
Again. OIL Is the reason.
You read about the Trapshooters Co. which
brought in the huge gushers at Eldorado. Kans,
and made $4,000 for each investor Of 500. Per-
haps you read the headlines in some daily paper:
Twenty-Five Kansas City Men Made Million
aires by Black Gold From Eureka Wells and the
story that followed on how Hale, a former rail.
road conductor, made fifteen million dollars.
Again, you may have read of the amazing career
OF Harry st. Clair. who rose from a drug clerk to
multi-millionaire in few short years, and how in
only IL months his Oil interest earned nearly nine
and a half million dollars. Then there was the
1914 OIL Co., which paid $50, 10000 for every
$10o invested in eighteen months; the Coline Co,
which paid $685. 100000 for every $175. 90 invested.
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1918-07-13

is it a half-million dollar corporation. Neither is it
a $25O,OO0 corporation. Nor is it a White Cor
poration.
The Square Deal Oil & Gas Company is, as I
have told you elsewhere in this ad. a Negro Con-
Germ, controlled and managed exclusively by men
of our Race. A few dollars invested in this may
make you rich, as our capital is so small. Our
Company is going over big, and will go over still
bigger, when we, have fully developed our already
proven lease.
Do you know the Negroes of this country have
a chance to earn millions by investing in Oil?
Do you know over five hundred million dollars
worth of oil was sold in Kansas and Oklahoma
last year? d you know that oil is selling at $3.50
a barrel, with the price going up? We are not
begging you or anybody else to buy Square Deal
Stock; we are not forcing you or anybody else to
buy Square Deal Stock. We have about 1000
stockholders already. We don't want you or any
body else to send or bring us money and then cry
about it. If you are not capable of investing your
money in what is now a sure thing and awaiting

and the OTDeall Co, which paid $58, 600. 90 for $500
investment.
There are scores and scores of cases like these
in the Oil Fields. It is said, in Tulsa alone, there
are 10 Oil millionaires and hundreds who are
rich from Oil. The above is what the White man
has earned by investing in Oil. These men were
in on the ground floor of these Companies. They
bought Stock in these companies about the time
their first and second wells were brought in.
These were white companies, and were principally
organized for white men. The QUARE EAL
OIL AND A co. is a Colored concern. Our
Capital Stock is now $780, 900. 90; our shares are
now $500 per share. We are here offering you
the same great opportunity that the white man
has had. The Colored Man has the same chance
to make money in the Oil business as the other
fellow has. E. H. Hartman, the great railroad
builder and investor, once said: 1T is the keen
minded man who invests at the start of an enter
prise and makes all the money" GET IN BE

the results like fullgrown men and women, which
will be very soon-then do not buy Square Deal
Oil Stock. We are too busy to fool with Cutters.
We are putting out this ~full-page advertisement
that you, and especially the people of Kansas City,
may along with the rest of our stockholders, be
able to purchase as many shares of this stock as
you can get while it is being sacrificed at $500
per share. To us there is no such word as FAIL.
We went after Oil and we've got Oil. We're GO
ing after Oil again, and we will get it. Will you
join us? You might as well.
And say-listen, Men and Women of my Race
when the Square Deal Oil & Gas Company's hold
ings are worth 100000 to a miflion-then you
will thank your lucky stars that you acted upon
our suggestion.
Or would you rather read about the other fell
low-no smaller than you, who buys Square Deal
Oil Stock at $500 per share and sells it in the
near future for $4,000 or more per share?

groes, and lastly, it will mean that the con-
tributions to the churches will be larger,
thus enabling them to extend forward the
work of God. This, my brethren, is what the
success of the Square Deal Oil and Gas Com
pany means to our Race. This, ladies' and
gentlemen, is why we are sincerely request
ing you to buy, and encourage your friends
to buy, every share of Square Deal stock
that you can possibly get, while you can buy
it at $500 per share, as we have only a few
more shares left. In conclusion, l hope that
you will be true to your God, true to your
country, true to yourself and true to your
Race, by buying as much as you can Of this
wonderful opportunity.

Since this company has succeeded in
bringing in two oil wells with a good pro-
duction, and since it will be soon paying it's
stockholders a handsome dividend, it marks
a new epoch in the history of the Negro of
this country. 1t proves to the world that the
Black Man is fully able, without the leader
ship and assistance of the White Man, to fl
nance and operate big business enterprises
the same as anyone else. We have a few
more shares of this wonderful opportunity
left, and it becomeh your duty and the duty
of every Race-loving Negro to do his bit in
supporting and maintaining such legitimate
Negro enterprises. 1t must be remembered

FROM INFLUENZA
Epidemic Persists, But Deaths Are
Less Numerous.

Epidemic Persists, But Deaths Arr
Less Numerous.
Washington, Dec. 3.-Between 300,
900 and 100000 deaths from influenza
and pneumonia have occurred among
the civilian population of the United
States since September Is, according
to estimates today of the public health
service. The calculations were based
on reports from cities and states
keeping accurate records and public
health officials believe they are con-
servative.
The epidemic persists, but deaths
are much less numerous, according to
reports reaching here. A recrude4
scence of the disease now is occurring
in many communities throughout the
country, but this is believed to be
sporadic and not to indicate a general
renewal of severe epidemic condi-
tions.
Insurance companies have been
hard hit by the epidemic, government
reports indicate, although there are
no figures available here to show the
total losses sustained by these COM
panies. The government incurred
liabilities of more than $4,000, ,000,-
900 in connection with life insurance
carried by soldiers in army camps
not including those in Europe. About
10000 deaths occurred in the camps
in the United States, war department
records show.
