SOME STARTLING REPORTS

Texas today holds the attention of the entire
world.
Texas will soon be the greatest oil producing
state in the Union. Texas is producing oil at the
rate of over $3.50, 000,0 900 per year.
Texas has over FIFTEEN HUNDRED WELLS

Texas is breaking all records for ihe high per-
centage of producing wells and the low percentage
of dry holes Over So percent of the wells drilled
in the central Texas oil fields today are producing
wells.
The Texas oil fields are a second Kondike close
to home.
The great oil fields of Texas have already made
hundred new millionaires-and no one knows
how many more are in the making. Never before
in the entire history of our country was such great
wealth accumulated by so many people.
The Saturday Evening Post in commenting on
the new Texas oil fields recently said. But
though poor men do not make five to thirty-fve
millions of dollars in oil over night, they are just
likely not to make a half million II they get

Keen, alert investors from the north and from
the east are pouring into Texas by the thousands
to secure a share Of this newly made wealth. They
are coming here from hundreds and thousands OF
miles distant. They realize the tremendous pos

HOW TO MAKE A PROFIT

The profit in buying oil lease in the surround
ing development Leases cheap naturally when the drill
has not moved close enough the land prove its oil pos
sbes but when well has been drilled in the vicinity
of the lease it Immediately increases in value. Not few
times but often hundreds of times Then take
profit by selling to else who wants lease for
drilling other purposes. Or you drill your lease
yourself and reap all the profits from the oil found less the
oneeghth royalty. Or you organize company and
drill form syndicate with your friends and neghbors put
your with others for an interest company that will
drill
And in the meantime while you awaiting these de-
veopments the drilling of other wells will be moving closer to
your lease and making it more valuable every day.
