pany, a subsidiary of the Standard Oil,
year ago.
Long, Hard Fight
After getting the rig erected it be-
came a question of raising more
finances to drill the well. After
months of effort the funds were Sc
cured. Nearly an entire year was spent
in drilling this well, then a pioneer
venture, far from supplies, far from
the facilities required and considered
necessary in most fields.
1t is interesting to note that at one
time or another during this operation,
nearly every part of the rig or the
equipment was broken or had to be
taken apart for repairs, due to the
terrific strain put upon it at different
times in forcing the drill through the
strange, hard formation. The well was
spudded in in April 1921, the first
gas sand was struck at 1850 feet in
the summer. Another gas sand was
struck at about 1, 800 feet. Then came
a bitter winter. With the we'll down
at a depth where oil should be diss'
covered, with a little seepage oil in
the bottom of the well as a reward for
three years of efforts, billiards. and
severely cold weather tied up all oper-
ations from December, 1921 until early
in March, 1922. On March IA, 1922,
at 80 in the morning, the driller was
knocked off his stool by terrific gas
pressure. Gordon Campbell and his
wife were in little shack nearby,
waiting momentarily for the answer
to his greatest venture. He heard the
engine running away and he rushed
over to the derrick house. BY that
time the driller had regained his fac
uIties and was stopping the engine.
The gas puff was rising steadily from
the mouth of the well. The drilling
was stopped, the bailer was put on.
and within a short time the oil flowed
almost to the top of the casing. The
next day the word was broadcasted
cross the world that Gordon Camp
bell had made good; that Gordon
Campbell's geology was proven once
more: that he had found another oil
field in Montana.
Big Capital Followed
Thus did Gordon Campbell, the
Scotchmau. the persistent man OF
vision and courage. create for northern
Montana a new industry-a big indus
try, an industry that is spending this
year ten million dollars in cash, an
industry that has lifted mortgages from
the dry lands of hundreds of farmers,
an industry which has given work TO
thousands of people. an industry which
is paying dividends to thousands of
1t is due. after all. to Gordon Camp |
belts vision and persistence that Shell

now staging the worlds heavyweight !

What Do Seven Million
Dollars and Fifteen
Thousand Depositors
Mean?

Figures are meaningless to most of us except by comparison.
1t is interesting, therefore, to recall that $7000,000O0-the Re-
sources of Perth Amboys leading BANKS approximately the
cost Of Alaska to the United States.
The number of depositors is approximately equal to the com
bined population of South Amboy, Matawan and South River; it
is larger than the population of Long Branch nearly twice as
large as the population of Westfeld and more than four times
that of Metuchen. There will be nearly as many depositors in the
Perth Amboy Trust Company as there were people in the City of
Perth Amboy when the bank opened for business twenty-one
years ago.
The depostors represent virtually every kind of business
and every walk of life. Their deposits range from $100 to the
s-of thousands. The Perth Amboy Trust Company will
take especial pride that it will differ from most of the other large
banks in that il will welcome the smallest saver in the community.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-06-30

What the re-birth Of this large bank means to Perth
Amboy in its business future is Immediately apparent.
But we desire to emphasize this more important fact
THAT the Perth Amboy Trust Company will well
come any man or woman who brings his or her say
ings to it, no matter how modest it may be. We
want Perth Amboy's leading bank to be your biggest
friend.
The merger, so FAR as its effect upon the banking re-
Iations Of the City National Bank depositors are con-
cerned, means that the resources Of helpfulness have
been seven times multiplied and the number Of their
banking friends increased by more than 10000.
In the common service of the P erth Amboy
of the future we welcome our new customers to
Join with our old in avaiing themselves to the fullest
possible use Of every department Of every office Of
our bank.
