"H y boy it f Hustle- it'a right"
Nearly anyone should be will
ing to buy a quarter cre tract of
land for $30, if big profits were
reasonably assured with best
prospects for making a fortune.
We are offering just such 'a
proposition to people who cann&t
afford to lose. ,
It is a duty you owe yourself to
reach a thorough understanding
of our plan by reading . every
word of this advertisement.
mm
When we prove High Island to be a great gusher oil field the value of
these quarter acre tracts should be enormous.
One acre in Humble Field sold for $218,750 after oil was brought in.
Quarter acre tracts in famous Humble,' Spindletop and Sour Lake
fields have sold from $25,000 to $50,000 each.
These tracts were originally purchased for small sum- in the pioneer
days of these great fields.
We are pioneers at High Island and expect the same great rewards as
have been received in gusher districts in all counties adjoining.
In addition to owning your land, "you also share proportionately in 50
of profits from all wells drilled on High Island property and proven
Humble lease.

center at High Island, leaving us to believe wo wtyl find the great Mother Pool on our property.
U. S. GOVERNMENT REPORTS SAY:
that indications for oil at High Island are, very fine Is conceded by those who understand condi
tions, because of the. mound formation elevation of 48 feet common to the coastal oil fields
where oil is found and because of the gas mounds, gas bubbles and gas blow-out reported from
a well which parties undertook to drill a number of years ago. In addition to this, Govern
ment reports state A3 follows: The surface indications at High Island are similar to those at
Spindletop, especially he Sulphur and Gas Springs. (See page 124, Bulletin 212, U. S. Geologi
cal Survey);
NOTE THIS INDICATION
Another indication of oil at High Island is found in the fact that south of High '
Island, in the Gulf of Mexico, are located oil ponds; the commonly accepted ex
v planation being that oil comes directly or indirectly from some great natural reser
voir. (See pages 104, 105, bulletin 212, U; S. Geological Survey). v

We own approximately 1,000 acres in &3
greatest prospective oil field of the Gulf Coast,
located just north of High Island, Texas,' fac
ing the Santa Fe Railway.
The best geologists in the world, those of
the U. S. Government, say that High Island has
indications similar to the famous old Spindle
top, N. E. of our property, where wells came in
at a reported rate of 75,000 barrels per day.
We firmly believe that the great mother,
field from which the Goose Creek, Sour Lake,
Spindletop and Humble fields all sprang, ex
ists at High Island; and when we confirm the
geologists' reports by bringing in oil on this
