WITH our rig up and everything ready to go with
w our well on 2,812 acres, comprising my great dis
y covery in Hunt County-with our books closing
to public subscription-The Hog Creek Carruth Com
pany is rapidly nearing the goal that has always
meant fortune for my shareholders and myself in the
past.
/ am more enthusiastic over our prospects now than
1 was ct this stage of my famous Hog Creek Oil Com
pany, which later startled the world by paying that
gigantic dividend of $10,135 CASH for every 500
invested.
During the last few days thousands of people
and / mean that literally-have grasped this last
minute opportunity of joining hands with me in the
development of our huge 2,812-acre domain at the
anticline in Hunt County. Three
fourths of these people live in Texas-my home state.
They know full we'll what l have done before. They
want to be with me when 1 attain a similar triumph.
They see in the Hog Creek Carruth Company an
exact duplicate of my famous Hog Creek Oil Com
pany, which paid $10,135 CASH for every 500 in
vested. They see in this company an exact dupli-
cate of my j. w. Carruth Oil Company, which is
standing on the verge of millions at Mexia.
They know what I did at Desdemona. They know
what I have just done at Mexia. They believe-with
me-that those achievements are going to be repeat
ed or excelled very soon in Hunt County.
When 1 started development work at Desdemona
l was all alone. But ALL the big companies followed
me later and became rich on my discovery.
When I started my we'll at Mexia the big play was
in the south part of the field. Once more l turned the
trend of development, for today the northeast part
of the field, where the J. w. Carruth Oil Company
was once a pioneer, is receiving the greatest play in
the entire Mexia district.
But the greatest reward always goes to the leader

j. W. "HOG CREEK" CARRUTH, President,
The Hog Creek Caruth Company,
Dan Waggoner Bldg, Fort Worth, Texas.
Dear Mr.. CaTuth.
Your record of s1o135 CASH paid on every 500 invested in
your Hog Creek Oil Company proves not only that you have the
ability to make tremendous profits in the oil business. but that,
when these profits T made. every investor receives his full
share.
These facts coupled with the knowledge that you are de-
termined to equal or excel your former achievements, convince
me that I want to be with you in THE HOG CREEK CARRUTH
COMPANY.
So here are s.............-.. for which issue m .........
shares In fully paid and forever worcestershire, and l am to
receive my prorata share of the profits from everything the
Company owns, develops II shall acquire.

New York Telegraph's Probe
Proves Profit Statement of
"Hog Creek" Carruth
Unusual Statement Verified.

The page advertisement of the Hog
Creek Carruth Company of Fort Worth,
Texas, was omitted from last Sundays edi-
ton of The Morning Telegraph because the
publishers required proof that the COM
pany had paid $10,135 for every 500 in
vested, which the Hog Creek Oil Com
pany, organized by Mr.. Carruth, claimed to
have paid each of its shareholders at Des-
demona.
A wire was sent to Charles w. Barton,
staff representative now in Texas, saying
advertisement could not be published with
out verification of statements that this I'M
usual profit was secured.
Mr.. Barton Immediately called on a lead
ing stakeholder, who gladly furnished an
affidavit of the truth of the dividend state
ments, and told Mr.. Barton that any one
of the many other stakeholder would be
equally ready to make affidavit of this fact.
Hence the advertisement of the Hog Creek
Carruth Company appears in this section
today.
