Lat US call tho distance that the
army marched during The time that Bill
was making his way TO the head X.
Thus you see that tho army moved x
and Bill moved so plus X Then BuftA-
10 Bill returning must have gone back
that distance K, while the army moved
forward 80 miles minus Y. Thus We
have tho statement in proportion: 80
plus X Is to X AS X to 30 minus X.
This proves tho value Of squared to
be $50 a nd x equallins II plus. Now It
Is plain that Bill moved 80 miles and
twice that distance Y, a total Of T2.2-6

of the pack"-the pioneer. Oil men apd oil COM
panies invariably follow a success
And that is why, in Hunt County, from the very
first day that Hog Creek" Carruth turned the spot
light of attention there, the biggest operating COM
panies in TIE southwest started their wild scramble
for acreage near me and located as close as possible
to my huge domain of 2,812 acres. l am now hemmed
in on every size by companies whose names head the
Blue Book of Oildom.
They saw me proven right at Desdemona. They
KNOW l am right at Mexia. THEY BELIEVE "HOG
CREEK" CARRUTH WILL BE RIGHT ONCE MORE
IN HUNT COUNTY,
The stage is set in Hunt County for one of the
greatest winnings that the oil world has ever known.
We hold a veritable empire under lease. We are
upon the appetite highest point-of the Celeste
'bisects our property-some of the most celebrated
biologists in America, including julius Fohs and the
famous Mccoy group of biologists of .Bartlesville,
Okla., have given this territory their unqualified en-
dorsement-the biggect operating companies in the
Mid-Continent fields are our neighbors-our rig is set
we are ready to go-our drill will start its ceaseless
grind down through the roof of what I believe will
prove the greatest storage basin of oil that the world
has ever known.
Our drilling will be done with both rotary and
standard tools-two separate specialized crews to
man them. The rotary will be used to go through
the surface formations. Then / will standardize and
drill on doTn-to the golden sand. Nothing will be
passed up-no stone will be left unturned to get this
oil. [ pledge you now that this will be one of the
most efficiently and at the same time most speedily
drilled wells the oil industry has ever known.
And when our well blows over the top of the der
rick-and we sell it-with every acre-wil one of
our dividend checks for a fortune go out addressed
to you?

reason to believe it is going to be IN OF the greatest wells OF the en-

now only a matter 81 days until not a single share viii be left for

I have never in my life been known to sound a false alarm. So
you know 1 am in dead earnest when I say.
GRASP THE OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN ME WHICH is Elk
TENDED TO YOU IN THIS MESSAGE, FOR IT MAY NEVER BE
OFFERED YOU AGAIN.
In 1917 I gave people Just such opportunity as this and those
who grasped 1t won a fortune of $1o,1s5 for every 500 they Ind in
vested in my famous Hog Creek Oil company.
In the late fall OF 1921 I gave others just such a opportunity

Right now-TIus VERY MoMErT[ give YOU a even great.
