Many Holdings in Many Fields

Our holdings are not limited to the Youngstown
Okmulgee district In this district we have 10
acres under lease. In the Cement field "a new big
field Just opening up) we have several tracts for
which we have been offered high prices for our
stuff. In the Fox field we have a lease on a val
liable tract. In the Mascho district we have leases
on valuable tracts, and in many other parts Of Okla
homa we hold leases in good territory. If we don't
hit it on one we will hit it on another. We are not
only going to drill one well, but drill many wells.
This is a thoroughly established company having
high class properties behind it.

A big company-not too l%arge-not too NAL.
Small companies often fail because they are not
large enough. Companies too large are equally
dangerous. 1t takes money to drill oil wells-real
money. There is always that chance in front of
you Of drilling in a well capable of producing a mil
lion dollars worth of oil in a few months, especially
when a company pursues the plan that we are 60

Fortunes are made by the drilling of big oil wells. Small oil
wells are good payers, but the big money is sin the big wells. They
are getting bigger and bigger as they near our lease. One well
at 600 barrels about a mile away; another well good for 1000
barrels about threequarters of a mile. Another well came in for
800 barrels in a quarter of a mile from our lease. Another well
for 5000 barrels within about a quarter. Another well still near
err our lease reported at 100 barrels an hour, which would total
