TEXAS COMPANY PROVES
THERE'S MONEY IN OIL

Dallas. Tex. May 1.-THE Texas
company is the leading independent
oil organization in the country active
" engaged in every department OF
the oil business. The most notable
feature in the development Of this
company is the fact that the growth
has not been financed by any under
writing features OF any kind but
solely by sale Of new stock 10 stock
holders. Since Nay, 1915. stockhoid-
ers have paid in to the company $685.
0O0. 900 in cash. which has increased
the capital stock from S30,000.o00 to
SIS. 900.
The large amount OF cash received
in this way has made 1t possible for
the company to adopt aggressive
methods in expansion And also It
has made II possible to minimize its
funded debt so that today it owes
very little more than &c did back in
1911 The heavy increase in capitall-
zation has not kept the company's
business from growing faster, for
while the capital increase from July,
1912, 20 December. 1918. was Il per
cent. the gross business during the
same time increased $50 per cent The
gross business is now running at an
annual rate Of S90,000,0 600.
The Texas company has paid uiFl-
dends since 1912, having paid out n
that wav an amount equal to s-b,-
5000. In addition TO the cash pay
ments the numerous PRIVILEGES OF sub
scrfbing to new stock at 500 snare

Ardmore. Okla. Nay 12.-Interest is
being manifested in a very quiet way
in the new Fox-Graham district. Pre-

made wholly by persons, firms and
corporations already established in
this and other fields
Ardmore interests began blocking
up all available acreage in that To-

leases were bought by men who have
acquired fortunes in the Ardmore
fields and were not speculaung- II

came So miles to see the we'll The
