LAND OWNERS
OF MONROE COUNTY
Hold Your Oil Leases;
We have something to of
fer you! ).
There is being organiz-

There is being organiZ-
ed in Monroe county an
Oil Development Company
upon q fair and honest
plan, to all land owners.
This company is being
promoted by some of the
largest land owners in the
county, men of establish
ed honesty and ability and
men we'll known to you.
Our plan is to give to each
land owner one share of
interest for each are leas-
ed. Each land owner will
reserve one-eighth royal
ty, which is the custo-
mary part of all leases.
Under our plan each
holder will get more than
just the one-eighth ordi-
narily reserved under the
oil-lease system. This is a
cooperative plan and all
land owners will share in
the development of the en-
tire holdings of this COM
pany. We have one com
pany now that will drill a
well for us and we believe
that we can secure at
least four more to make
test wells in our holdings.
BY pooling our interests in
this way, we have the ad-
vantage of interesting for
eign capital in the devel-
opment of our property.
You are at no expense
and will obtain a profit
besides the one-eighth in
terest in any development
in lands leased by this
company. The possibilities
are enormous. The main
thing is that if we pool
our interests we can get
wells drilled and our lands
developed. If you are inter
ested, write to Parker G..
Evan, Clarendon, Arkan-
sas, and he will answer
any questions along this
line. The men who have
expressed a desire to enter
into this proposition are,
w. L. Jeffries, H. B. Bate
man, j. A. Walls, C. F.
Greenlee, Rue Abramson,
Parker c. Evan and other
land owners, too numer-
Gus to mention. The small
land owner will receive as
much benefit, in proper
ton to the amount of
acreage, as the large land
owners. Let me hear from
Oh if you desire to join
with us.
