that the operation of a refinery

on the entire capital stock. :.

New Well and Meet President
Myers and Secretary-Treasure
Wrather.

A party OF Memphians. including
Mr.. W. T, c. Berlin, directors Of
the Seven States OH company, and
other interested citizens, have re-
turned from an inspection trip to
the Texas oil fields. They went
to see the 'spudding in" or first
start in drilling. OF a new well by
the company, and to inspect the
company's holdings,
They saw an efficient organiEa-
ton on the job and going about Il
as If they meant business.
Various claims of the company
were verified. In fact, the report
is that they are not only truth
full but strlkingly conservative.
The party looked into the vast
holdings OF the Seven States com
pany and met the reliable, expe-
rienced and successful men In
charge.
An account OF the trip was
given at a luncheon Saturday
which was attended by the COM
pany's high-class organization of
statesmen, who are placing the
stock in this territory. These rep
~resentatives have been carefully
chosen and only such were en-
ployed as could be relied upon to
not only present the proposition in

only truthful representations.
There was a notable absence Of

graaped the proposition from a

logical conception of its benefits to
the investor.
The party met and talked with
the secretary-treasurer Mr.. J. D.
Wrather, of Amarillo, and found
that he enjoyed the universal re-
spect of citizens and with the rep
utatlon of making a OF
everything he undertakes.
President W. c. Myers was the
revelation Of the trip. He is not a

he is going after and knows how

how he made MILLIONS out of oil,
The main impression gained by
the party was that an investor In
Seven States oil stock is getting
into an atmosphere of SUCCESS,
where there Is nothing ahead but
PROFITS.

number of his business friends to
