AOVANTAGES
Tho ofllccrs of (his company nrc well I
acquainted with nil tliu properties mid
holdings of livery relliiblo company
nulling Ktoclc now at work In tlm Menu
tnout oil llcldy, and It In not their ob
ject to speak disparagingly of any
one of tlieni. Most of them liave pmil
properties and nro working hard for the
best Interests of their shareholders. It
Is a chance with all of us.
Tho United Stntes 1'uel Oil Company
only claims thesu advantages:
First on the ground to secure Inside
locations at lowest prices.
Properties bought before tho public
vat Invited to Invest.
Latest company to Incorporate, thus
avoiding mistakes of other corpora
tions. Titles and surveys to all property of
this company perfected under the direc
tion of competent attorneys and otllclal
surveyors.
Small capitalization, thus making
larger returns for shareholders.
Largest amount of valuable oil prop
erties, UHsets and dlversltled holdings
according to capitalization, sworn to at
the time of the organization in the state
ment made to tho secretary of htate of
the state of Texas.
Franchise tax paid to May, 1002.
Tho rent of the company's olllce paid
to July 1, 100'-, ouu year In advauce.
Tho United States Fuel Oil Company
owns large blocks of fully paid stock In
other companies now at work on Spindle
Top aud elsewhere.
These holdings cover Spindle Ton
Heights and the entire oil Held.
The company's 'northern olllco In St.
Paul Is open to the public, and the
latest oil literature, maps, facts and
llgures pertaining to the oil lields is
kept on Hie at your service.
Aside from any money consideration,
the olllcers of this company have per
sonal pride In making the United States.
Fuel Oil Company the best financed af
fair In the oil Holds. Creat men's names
at the head of companies of Immense
capitalization do not always Insure In
tegrity or ability to manage, neither do
they Insure prollts or dividends. Small
capitalization, large assets, ably man
aged by plain business men zealously
guarding tho Interests of each Kharo
holder, meet oftener with realization
than do the fondest expectations of
"big llgures" headed by "big guns." It
Is far better to begin down and work up,
than to begin up aud fall down.
If there ever dwelt In the heart of a
corporation ti desire to make money for
Its shareholders It Is the desire of the
United States Fuel Oil Company. Itcad
tho prospectus, study tho Investment,
buy some stock tiow; a small amount
Invested will neither make, mar nor
wreck you, and It could make you rich
this Is not Impossible.

thin company.
No company now nt work In the field has
Hiich nn attractive proposition, nor has nny
company tho diversified holdings in nnd
about tho proven oil district as tho Inited
States Fuel Oil Company.
Tho extent of acres does not necessarily
add KtreiiKth to n eompntiy: tho strength Is
milled by tho position of tho properties to
tho proven district.
Tho company owns valuable) deeded oil
lands In Jefferson, Liberty, Oalvestou nnd
Ilrn2iirl.i riiimllra. Tutm. Tint tltli nr..
perfect. The company had no leased lands,
has no options, no contrncts for purchase,
nnd no royalties; to pay. Tho company also
holds, ns n further assurance of succet, nnd
which Is n part nf the cotnpnny'M present
nBscts, larRe blocks of fully pnld nnd non

Held which possess valuable InndH now cov

of these Investments Is thnt Hhould any com
pany In which thin company Is Interested
mnko nny development, or nny strikes In
nny locality, It will ndd strength and profit
to the United Utntcs Fuel OH Company
nslde fiom Its own renl property holdlnKS.
Tho following Is n brief description of Its
property and Interests:
Sixty-four tracts, or parcels, of land In
tho J. W. Ilullock &. nrown surveyH. some
of which adjoin tho city limits ot IJenu
mont, also tho American Oil nnd Kollnlns
company' holding, Ouffey & Gnley mid
Splndlo Top HelRhts addition. Thcso prop
erties lie about ono mllo north of tho
Lucas Rusher nnd are surrounded on nil
sides by properties now helm; ilev'lni
Aside from the oil value a part ot these
properties aro now very valuable as H-m-denco
property to tho city of lleaumont,
nnd lots have been nold adjoining these
properties ns IiIrIi ns 11,000 to $1,500. Aero
property In this locnllty lias nold ns hlph
ns $10,000 per ncre. The company's hold
ings In this survey nro nbout 125 ncres.
Another CO-ncro tract of land located at
IIIrIi Island, Onivoston county, adjoining
which there Is a natural ga well and strong
ell Indications. No other company now In
tho field has such holdings at High Island
as tho United States Fuel Oil Company.
Tho entlro tract adjoins tho station, Is
close to tide water, and has many trans
portation facilities unsurpassed In nny
other locality. Thrco acros closo to thin
tract recently sold to tho (luffey & Oaley
people for $800 nn ncre. High island U the
favorlto property of tho promotem of tho
Lucas well, and mnny experts In tho field
claim High Island will In n short tlmo be as
vnluablo ns Splndlo Top Heights. Should
this bo truo It Ib hard to estimate tho
enormous valuo of tho holdings of this
company.
Another tract of 10 acres located closo to
Sour Lnkc, nnd adjoining tho Guffoy &.
Onloy, or Standard Oil holdings. Lands In
this locnllty nre held nt $100 to $600 per
acre. Much Improvement nnd development
Is going on nt Sour Lake, ns you will learn
If you aro keeping up to tho situation.
Another tract of 20 acres In Ilrnzorln
county, south of Alvln, In a locnllty closo
to tho new strike, nnd wlicro cx-Oovcrnor
Hogg nnd tho Swayno Syndlcnto nro now
operating. I'roporty ranges iii this locality
from $300 to $C00 per ucrc.
Another tract of 100 acre In Liberty
county, immediately adjoining; Jefferson
county on tho west, nnd In tho nolRhbor
hood of tho Ouffoy & anlcy properties nnd
tho Sour Luke district. At present oil
land In this district vurics In prlco from
$100 to $t00 per ncre, and development work
Is being pushed vigorously.
In addition to tho described renl prop
erties tho United Suites Fuel Oil Company
holds largo blocks of fully paid and non
assessable stock In tho following companies,
which nro among tho strongest In tho field:
American Oil and Uoflnlng Company of
Beaumont, Texas.
Drillers Oil Compnny of Beaumont.
Vesuvius Oil Company ot Ilenumont.
St. l'nul and Texas Oil Company ot Iioau
tnont. Ornco Oil Company of lleaumont.
Columbia Crudo Oil Company of lleau
mont. Ilutfnlo Oil Company of Ilenumont.
Qober Oil Company of lleaumont.
Most nil of tho nbovo companies aro at
work In tho field nnd putting down wells.
It Is ensy to neo tho additional advantage
gained by tho United States Fuel Oil Com
pnny having possession of thcso holdings
ns nny developments mndo by cither of
them tho United States Fuel Oil Company
would ronp a pro rata of their Btrtke.
A glnnco at tho accompanying mnp will
how tho location of tho company's land
nnd their relatlvo proximity to tho flowing
wells, n will also BUow tho lands con
trolled by other companies In which this
company has largo Interests. It will bo
cilerved that tho company has not staked
Us chances on ono location, but hns care
fully eelectcd properties of lt own In and
around tho recognized and proven oil bear
ing territory.
Tho capital tock of this company Is
small ; Its holdings nro largo, nnd every
share of s ok m ths company from tho
date of Its Issue has an Intrinsic cash valuo.
U cannot go backward; It must advance.
It would not ho surprising that In a short
tlmo theso Bhares will bo selling at a dol
Jar each or better.
