Think of IT, Here's a prop
osition that rings the bell every
shot. Three companies under
the same high grade manage
ment and the same overhead
expense, with three times the
chance Of a big success. We
are doing things We have
been in operation only a little
over two months and already
have brought in Well No. 7
and expect to bring in Well
No. 8 next week.
So far we haven't found a
dry hole and there is room for
AZ wells on the three proper
ties. All these leases are To-
Gated in the Chelsea fields
where wells can be drilled at
small cost and where success
has become a habit. The three
companies going together will
build a refinery at Catale, and
no matter which stock your
customer buys he will get his
share of the refinery profits, in
addition to dividends from oil
on his lease. On top of this is
the binding, clinching argu-
