Qnarter of a Million Dollar Refinery
Practically Completed and Paid
For.
The Uncle Bam Company has crowded

vim. They now have nearly completed one
cf the largest and most up-to-date refineries
ever built In the west and It Is the first
one constructed since the favorable Kan
sas legislation of last winter. Come down
and see this great plant as It turns the
crudo oil Into refined oil ready to burn In
your lamps. The company has Just what
it advertises and will be only too glad to

reflnerv stock nnd If vnu have from JI.011O

Onni and Controls Over Seventeen
Thousand Acres of Oil , Ijinds -Seventy-ElKfat
tillers, Fonr Pump
ing; Plants and Miles of Lateral Pipe
Lines.
In Labette. Montgomery and Elk counties
the Uncle Sum relim ry holds some of the
richest and most choice developed and
undeveloped oil properties to be found.
Tne company is proceeding on a safo and
conservative course. It owns its own pro
duction; the men at the head of the com
pany are practical oil men. They know
about every rabbit path in the oil fields.
The company is dally securing additional
properties. When you buy tne stock of
this company you secure property that is
Increasing In value. Don't wait until the
pipe line to Kansas City is half com
pleted and 10.00U acres of additional oil
lands secured and then expect to buy
stock at even 50 cents per share. Now is
the time to act, when you know It Is sell
ing at a price that Is certain to advance
suddenly. If you cannot invest a thou
sand or so dollars you are Just as wel
come to take 600 shares at $40.u0. This is
a common man'a company.
The Great Million nnd a Half-Gallon
Storage Tank.
The first great storage tank ever built
In the west by an independent company
has een completed by the Uncle Sam re
finery. It Is now being filled with oil. It
holds 1,900,000 gallons. It cost a small

tl shares If taken nt once, while in less
than two weeks there may not be any for

cent more. This is an Item worth con
sidering, but don't delay too long.
Patrick Henry Coney, Kanana Com
mander of the G. A. R.. Assisted by
Other Able Men, Will Start the
Wheels of the Hennery Going: on
July Fourth.
All Kansas is interested In seeing a
square deal in the oil fields. They are
not only wishing that such may be the
final outcome, but they are mixing in the
game. They are going to compel JuhJ
such conditions, for Kansans generally
finish what they start. No other man
than" the commander of the boys in blue of
the great commonwealth of the Sunllower
state could have been better titled for the
starting of this great independent enter
prise. The gang of thieves that have so
long bulldozed and blown up properties
ana destroyed competition until tney have
successfully robbed both consumer and
producer in the eastern fields had better
not "monkey" with this Kansas buzzsaw
that is buck of the Uncle Barn refinery.
The old soldiers of Kaunas are still In the
fight for freedom and Justice. Hundreds
of them are stockholders in the Uncle
Sam Compuny. Property has always been
safe where these kind of men fathered Its
protection. There is a storm gathering in
Kansas that stolen millions cannot check
mate. If you line up with this company
you can depend on a aquare deal. Kansas
will see you get It and the nation will
back her up. '
There is over 850 per cent profit In re
fining oil. True, the Uncle Sam Company
does not Intend to try and make such
profits, but it can make every man a small
fortune on his Investments in this stock
and at the same time give the consumer
equltame prices. Better buy some of this
stock. Join our band, now over 8.O0O
strong, and help yourself and the com
pany, too. by sending in your remittances
at once for what stock you can carry at
fciO.OO per 1.000 shares. Your Interests will
be protected. It you don't think so Just
come to Cherryvale on the Fourth and you
will find that there are thousands of men
In the centfriil west who will spend thou
sands of dollars and kIvo their time to
secure a free market for a home product.

There will be no place In the central
west that will celebrate the Fourth of
July with any more enthusiasm than
Cherryvale. A great parade will be pulled
off about 11 o'clock. Speaking at the
auditorium at 1 o'clock. Oil display at 4
o'clock. Special trains and free hacks to
the refinery grounds. Band concert and
fireworks in the evening. It will be worth
the price to come and hear the music; It
will be worth three times the price to see
the starting of the Uncle Sam refinery. If
you are a fuel user you will get Informa
tion that will save you several dollars In
the saving of fuel that you will soon be
able to secure from the Uncle Sam re
finery. Better come to Cherryvale and
spend a profitable day and have a good
time besides. You are welcome. Celebra
tion is under the management of the
Cherryvale fire department, with the Uncle
Sam refinery helping out, aa this company
has Just what It has advertised and wants
people to come and see for themselves.
Bank Presidents Are Buying; This
Stock.
When you Invest In Uncle Sam, remem
ber that conservative business men all
over the United States are buying it.
More than twenty bank presidents In Kan
sas own stock in this company. Men who
know the value of a dollar are with us.
The same conditions prevail in the east.
In Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and
Pennsylvania the company has an average
of 300 stockholders in each state. Mer
chants, farmers and lawyers are buying
stock. Don't delay your remittances. You
can invest safely from $40.00 to 8,noo.00. If
you have a friend with money to spare let
him know about this company before the
advance, which Is certain to come soon.
Franchise for Pipe Line o the River
Front Connections for Fnel Sta
tions Will Be Made Every Ten
Miles.
Clear across the eight Kansas counties
the Uncle Sam Company has secured
valuable franchises for the 179 miles of
pipe line that is now being built. This
line will push Its way through some of the
richest fields of the Sunflower state and
will lay down to thousands of homes fuel
at living prices. Figure for yourselves.
Farmers all along this line pay from $4
to $il per ton for coal. Three barrels of
fuel oil is equal to one ton of good coal.
The refinery can lay this oil down free
of freight rates by pumping it from Its
own wells to the taxpayer of Kansas, is
It any wonder that Kansans are backing
this company? By following such practical
lines as these is what makes a certainty
of refinery stock going to GO cents per
share.

On of tha Great BatUrUs of Stills NoW Almost Computed. Photo Juno 10th.
'lhi photo vai taken a few days ago and tihowa two of the great Btilla at the refinery and the brickwork over the furnaeea as it is
Ilea ring completion. At thla date tuebe stills are almost ready to rellne the crude oil. Kvery day carloads of machinery arrive ou the re
finery grounds. It la impoBitjle to show the xreat plant in one photograph, as we would like to. This is one Utile corner. The refinery
property has to be seen to be appreciated. Buy your stock now and come down and look it over July 4. Two hundred dollars will buy 2,500
$1 share. Uemember that the stock advances 20 per cent ou July 3, if not before, aud -0 per ceut is a pretty substantial advance.
The Uncle Sam pipe line will pay for
Itself in eighteen months In the saving of
freights. It will have for over sixty miles
oil on every side. It will go through an
oil field In Woodson county that haa never
had a pipe line. The refinery site at Kan
sas City la close to the manufacturing
center. Kansas City haa a fuel consump
tion dally equaling close to 90,000 barrels
a day. Now, don't you see it Is practical
to build this pipe line? Don't you see that
with the oil we own to start with and
the thousands of barrels which can be se
cured at a reasonable price, all trans
ported through this line at a good profit,
we will soon pay for the line In the saving
of freight alone? Size up this proposition
from every standpoint and you will find it
one of real merit, it is not impossible for
the stock now selling at $80 per 1,000
shares to go to $1 per share or par. If
you have money to Invest, better give this
matter serious thought before you turn it
down, for there is a great future for the
Uncle am Company. Got In now at a
price that hundreds have paid and one
that you know will advance inside of two
weeks.
The company now haa In oil wells, fran
chises, right-of-ways, machinery and val
uable oil holdings, properties worth on a
very conservative basis over $400,000. Be
sides this it haa a refinery practically com
pleted and paid for, which Is worth to
this company at least another $250,000.
There Is still in the treasury a little ovor
5.000,000 shares of stock. This stock Is sell
ing readily at 8 cents per share, cah, and
9 cents on installments. It is in f'ict in
great demand. Figuring on a conservative
estimate, at least $0O,0OO will yet be re
alized to the treasury of the company be
fore the treasury reserve is all pinrtil.
With this money the company will build a
third refinery in Oklahoma onj secure nt
least 15,000 acres of additional oil lrvnrts,
complete some river barges and build re
finery No. 2 at Kansas City nnd develop
the valuable holdings now owned hv the
company. It will take time to ! all cf
this, but the company will contln'.io to
walk right along. At the end of every
day we will be nearer the goal than the
ijhy before. The management of this com
pany believes the stock can in the next
year be increased In solid values to CO cents
pe. share. The company 1 fyni aa it
goes and will continue this cours.).

There la 3.00 to H.K Profit Per
Barrel la Lubricating- Oils.
There are great profits in lubricating
oil. The big thing is to secure a market
where freight rates do not rob you of your
property. From the Kansas City plant the
Uncle Sam retlnery will have a ready
market at three great manufacturing
centers, along the Missouri and Mississippi
rivers, and will own its own oil barges
and steamboat its oil to where It
pleases. It will not be compelled to pay
robber freight rates to any thieving oil
combine, but will be Independent and free
and able to float Its products to the ocean
steamers regardless of anybody or any
thing. Now this is the kind of company
to line up with. We are not leaving any

stockholders of their rights. Money in
