proposed operations.
Letters of encouragement, express

different officers of the company

been numerous.
It is gratifying indeed to note
that Bay st. Louis is going to stand

tering the project Of the company.
| This is best evidenced by the sub
stantial manner in which subscrip-
tions for the company's stock at $50.
| a share is beginning to come in. In
fact the capital of the company is
being paid in so fast that it is ex-
pected the work of building the giant
| derrick, preparatory TO drilling, will
| be started within the next two weeks
! Or more.
| The Banderet Oil Company has
appointed it's selling agents, and these
representatives report excellent re-

Water in Wharton County at Thirty
| Feet Is Impregnated With Oil.
| Among the several unsolicited let
| ters received by the president of
| the Banderet Oil Company during
the week is the following, which
shows evidence of oil at depth of
only 80 feet below the surface. The
| letter follows:
New Orleans, La, March 20, 1920:
Mr.. Chas. G.. Moreau, Banderet
Oil Company, Bay St. Louis, Miss.
Dear Sir:-I am interested in your
| proposed operations in Wharton
| county, Texas, in search for oil, and
| would like to know if my land is near
where you intend drilling.
I owned and lived on my 20 acres
| which is in Lavaca county, one mile
from Provident City, Texas, which is
in Wharton county. When | lived
there a few years ago, sunk we'll
80 feet for water and when it flow
ed the water was so strongly I'M
pregnated with oil that it was not
palatable, the oil plainly visible on
the top of a vessel full of water, af
ter standing short while, so | nat
urally think you are going to meet
with success.
Hoping to hear from you and wish
ing your company success,
Yours very truly,
(Signed:) RAYMOND GRACE,
No. 6O29 West End Blvd.
The reply to Mr.. Grace showed that
the Banderet Oil Company is going to
drill for oil at Hungerford, not very
great distance from the land referred
to above.
This Gentleman Wishes Stock Be-
cause Mr.. Banderet Is "True
Blue" Oil Man.
Mr.. George R. Rea, treasurer of
the Banderet Oil Company, received
the appended letter from Hahnville,
La, and the gentleman is knocking
at the company's door, asking if he
can come in for a little stock. This
is a wise man. He is not waiting to
be asked to buy stock in the Bande-
ret Oil Company; he is not waiting
for tht selling representative to call,
for he must we'll know that-there
might not be enough shares to go
around 1t is hoped this will not
happen to our own Bay st. Louis!
And it will unless they be quick to
act. The letter follows:
Hahnville, La, March 18, 1920.
Mr.. George R. Rea, Banderet Oil
Company, Bay st. Louis, Miss.
Dear Sir: | see that among few
of our good business men are going
70 form an oil company, which / think
will be a success for the gentlemen
conected with same are substantial
fellows and the man behind the bat,
| Mr.. Banderet, is a true blue" oil
| man. I would like to have little
| oil stock in your undertaking, if you
| could let me in. Kindly let me hear
from you regarding same. am an
| old Bay boy, and as such appreciate
your move.
| I have stock in several small oil
| enterprises, which after so long a
| lime, played out, but still have faith
!, and think your future is excellent
for you have good man at the foun-
/ dation.
| Hoping to hear from you regard
ing same, with kindest regards, am.
Yours very truly,
(Signed:) F. j. ROHMER, M. D.
Sentiment is unanimous in favor
of Mr.. Banderet as an oil man. His
/ reputation for being on the level
extends over the oil fields of Louis
lana and Texas. That he is true
blue,' as expressed in the letter
fronlthe physician expresses it well.
| Mr.. Banderet has had more or less
! experience in the oil field business
for more than fifteen years. He has
! sixteen gushers to his credit. And
he is of the firm conviction that when
i the company drills in Wharton coun-
ty, Texas, as it will within the inn
mediate future, he will strike oil in
large quantities. Mr. Banderet is
going to do the drilling for the COM
pany. u tact be spent yesterday IL
