We're You EUer
In An Oil FieLd?.

If you have never been in an oil field you cannot realize,
no pen nor spoken narrative. can adequately describe, the
marvellous wealth that comes gushing from its subterranean
source, nor it's wonderful influence upon those touched by
its magic, H
It has been aptly said that Truth is stranger than fiction"
This is proven time and again by the recent life history of
men who in many cases were unsuccessful farmers, believing
a few years back that their land was hardly worth the taxes,
just eking out an existence, when suddenly strangers came
into their midst and started drilling operations on this land,
and shortly oil was struck, making millionaires of many
who seldom had a dollar to spare.
We have not come to drill wells on your land, but to give you
an opportunity to invest in an oil producing company that
owns thousands of acres of leases upon which there is I'M
questlonably oil enough to make all rich who get in on the
ground floor.
This company was organized by and is managed by success
ful business men. 1t requires money to carry on the devel-
opmeGt campaign planned. You come in on same basis as
the organizers of the company. Your money will be Judi
ciously handled, and we will make you big money.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN;
The bearer of this lettor, Mr., NJ. Logan, is general manager OF the Mid
Texas Petroleum Company, who have opened an account with us and are one
OF tho organizers operating In the Ranger field, and have connected with
them as officers and trustees of their company men well known to us and
who bear a good reputation in their section of the country.
The Company vas organized in the spring Of 1919 with a capital stock
OF slO0o00o, with par value 800, We are advised by them that their
leases cover nine or ten of the counties where there is drilling and in some
OF the counties where there Is q great deal OF oil being found, While we are
not closely acquainted in detail with the properties they appear to hold, vet
we believe that their values could be substantated through sources in the
section of the country where these properties are. From what we know OF
the company we think well of 1t and the people composing It.
Yours very truly,
