Wonderful Location

Our refinery at Pawhuska has probably the
best location Of any plant in the entire Mid
Continent field. II is in what is already big
field and promises to be one of the biggest.
There will be no lack OF crude to keep us busy.
Our site is alongside the tracks OF the Mid
land railroad and Is on hillside. This hill
side gives Us a gravity flow and will save the
expense OF pumping The formation of the
ground provides q natural earthen fire wall and
thus reduces our insurance premium The saw

amount to several hundred dollars a month II
