A great new field resulted. Shareholders in the Hog

to this huge empire of 2,s12 acres in Hunt County.

the apex-the highest point-of the famous Celeste
Leonard fold, at the spot where it is bisected by the
Mexia-Wortham anticline.
l say: w are over an oil field that is vast in
the scope of its possibilities" Some of the greatest
biologists on the American continent have gone over
this structure for their employers, my big company
neighbors, and concur with me in that statement.
We are going with utmost speed after this oil.
The derrick is up. The rig is coming fast. In a
few days l will have this drill grinding down. 1t
will be manned by the best crew that money and
experience can secure. 1t will always be under the
personal supervision and the watchful eye of "Hug
Creek Carruth.
1t is springtime down here in Texas and the
peach buds will soon be bursting into bloom. As
those blossoms fall to the ground and the tender
fruit appears, l expect our labor in Hunt County to
bear fruit, too-a veritable harvest of fortunes for
all my shareholders.
l propose to get a well quickly-sell it with every
acre Immediately and at once pay fortunes to all.
That was the course that leo to profits of $40, 135 for
every 500 for shareholders in the famous Hog
Creek Oil Company. have mapped out exactly the
same course for my shareholders in this new COM
pany. l am following it-straisht to a similar glor-
