Petroleum Club WOuid
Lease NeD HeaiquGrterS

There Is fiug opening for some
one with m01cy who desires TO IN
vest in real estate In Tulsa, mas
much aa the Petroleum club is IN
the market g-ld win lease Tor % term
Nf years a building suitable for its
uses; and no better tenant, or ono
that could be counted on for
prompt payment of rentals, could
bc found any whcrn.
A building for the club, such ns
tho officials desire 10 lease, should
b. centrally located ana In add
tiun tp the dlningroom, kitchen
and lounge rooms. II IS desired that
thcre be- "a recreation room for the
wives and guests OF members, to-
gcther with a hull and banquet
room, and at least rs slcpi1g rooms
with baths. Tor tho use Of moin-
bora
with the club thus equipped,
there 10 no doubt in the minds OF
tho members hut that the Pctro-
leum club located In Tulsa, would
take o leading part In all social ar
fairs. and would take It's rlghtful
place iu the way OF cntor.ainmc
of distinguished guests who come
this way, and who are not Inn
pressed with the present facilities,
which are, in fact, inadequate, 20
say tho least
The club itself was never in bet
ter repute as IT II being managed
by r.. Calvin, whose experience IN
club and hotel management amply
fits him for the position. Tho din
ingroom is serving tho best posalhlo
fare and Mr.. Calvin IL on the job to
look after the comfort Of tho
guests, a. they have never been
looked after since the clubs ostah-

most adverse circumstances, as
when any member desires 10 en-
terrain IN n large way II W. neces-
sary 20 walt until the regular din
ers have bcon survcd.
The members now patroni2ing
the club are men who have a rcpu-
tatlnn for honor and integrity that
IL beyond question. inasmuch as
many who have been dropped for
various reasons including non-
payment Of dues. have given way
and made room for a bettcr class OF
OIL men, so that now any member
can be relied upon 90 fulfill all
promises, and thus II Ia possible
that many deals involving much II
n financial way. are consummated
every day at the club, and especially
during the lunch hours. The mem
bership includes 400 resident NOM
bers ald about 100 non resident
members who come to Tulsa often
enough to appreciate the good fell
lowship and hospitality always on
tap
The present officers are r.. 7.
Connolly, presidents George Sned-
don, vice presidents: 10. M. Boutwell,,
secretary, AID u, ". Salrnin, trcns-
urer: and n better or moro efffi-
cient set of officials could not be
found. The management is work
ing most harmoniously with the
members, and n campaign for 1ow
members Is in order and will doubt
less easily extend the membership
TO at least 400 resident members
and another 100 no1-realdent mem
bers could be added.
The initiation fee OF 800, plus
war tax, Ia the lowest OF any club
OF equal importance in the ooun-
try, and thor ls a charge of only
$50 n year for dues for resident
members, and sac n year for nom
resident members. The club is
averaging $500 day from the
cafe and cigar counter, while the
rental received fer rooms amounts
to about $3.50 per moath. Alto
gether, the club is certainly In good
condition, and the fact that Mr..
Calvin has expended more than
$4,000 In repairs and renovatioas
curing the summer is easily no.
ticeable TO members returning from
their summer vacations.
There is much. OF interest In the
early history Of the Petroleum club,
