Here is an opportunity for you to join with
an organization of men of ability and unqueo ,
toned integrity in project which should n1al1e(
millions.
We own approximately 1000 acres in HE
greatest prospective oil field of the Gulf Coast,
located just north of High Island, Texas, fac
ing the Santa Fe Railway. s
The best geologists in the world, those Of
the U. S. Government, say that High Island has
indications similar to the famous old Spindle
top, N. E. of our property, where wells came in
at reported rate of $4,000 barrels per day.
We firmly believe that the great mother
field from which the Goose Creek, Sour Lake,
Spindletop and Humble fields all sprang, ex.
lists at High Island; and when we confirm the
geologists' reports by bringing in oil on this
property, it should mean millions to be divided
between our company and the people who as,
sist us in our drilling campaign.
In order to quickly raise a4drilling fund we
offer you the opportunity of joining us in the de-
velopment of this property, and to share in the
