THE OMATTA SUNDAY BEE: tt-7.CH Iff. I9IJJ. 1 w V Here Is An Si Investment Opportunity That Toy Will Want to Buy. 1A& Hppiil ft Jygm . lead! TW .i Fefa B If Bt'a , Y y n3 pprt:yoiig'ih p -1 1 4 n '1i i: 1 There is no guarantee that we will strike oil, and you may lose your money if you invest. t Therefore, do not put any more in this or any other speculation than you can afford to lose. Any man that guarantees that his well is going to strike pay oil, is either a crook or fool. Less than fifteen short months ago Ranger, Texas, had only one gas well and one well drilling. Today it is the oil sensation of the entire world. Throughout the vast region shown below the big oil and gas wells are being found everywhere many new wella going down every day and new pools being constantly discovered. You, as well as most of us, know people who, with a little of that "seeing into future" gift and a little money, a little courage and perhaps, the advice of someone else, took a chance in East land and Stephens Counties and bought a few acres early in the "game" and have reaped a fortune in a short time. Tt's alwava that wav with "someone else." Rut it ran be ' Slowly, but surely, the field spreads and no man alive can , , you as it was with them. It's hardening out there every day. predict the end. Big oil companies and little and thousands of individuals are developing and leasing throughout the region, making dollars grow where none grew before. Leases that were bought bujt a short time ago for just a few a very few dollars are selling today for thousands of dollars an acre, a thing undreamed of, perhaps, but true. Not luck foresightedness in buying right. -, We make no predictions as to how big the gushers will be in McCulloch-we promise no oil as in the Ranger field but we do believe the oil is there and the point of the drill will tap the sand. The Texas Co., Gulf, Humble and Empire all are prepared for oil to be found. So is the Sun Co., Sinclair and Roxana, Pierce and Prairie and all the rest with their vast acreage near ours. - .Will you make money when the oil does come? There are now 17 deep tests being made in Mc Culloch County. We are practically surrounded by drilling wells. v Can you afford to sit idly by and watch the other fellow make they money. Act today. ' - THE OLD CONSERVATIVE POLICY OF FINANCE APPLIED TO THE OIL BUSINESS LEGITIMATE business does not first get its factory, mine or other enterprise and then its capital. The proceed ing is reversed; there must be capital in order to do busi ness. Does a bank first get its deposits, then its capital?" A great railroad cWpany does not build its system and then get its capital; a manufacturing concern does not establish its factory and then issue stock. In every line of business capital comes first then the establishment of the business. - The Oil Game With the Gamble Left Out ' IN this day and time, when the largest fortunes in this country have been made from oil and its products; when comparatively small capitalizations have grown into hun dreds of millions; when the world's greatest wonder of oil fields in Texas is transforming paupers into millionaires over nighty no argument need be advanced that the de velopment of oil fields is not only legitimate, but if prop erly managed will enrich the investor in a short time and to a greater extent than any-other investment can do. We are placing on the market a tract of land on the western line of McCulloch county, near Brady, Texas. This tract of land has been subdivided into drilling units of one acre each. ' Our Plan Is This f We will sell an oil and gas lease on these one-acre units for $100 each, and when sufficient money has Seen, received we will drill for well on this land. The well will be located bjj our geologist. If we strike oil your lease will become very valuable. Five acres at Ranger sold for a fortune. Thousands of people are in Texas buying leases. If our well comes in oil you can have your lease developed on-a fifty-fifty basis. Ypu receiving one-half the net oil produced and 'the drilling contractor to pay all the bills. If you would invest some" money with us, send a check by mail or messenger for the number of units you desire. Send $100, $200 or $500. We shall mail at once to you, in your name, a lease for the number of units you purchase. You will have no partner. It will be yours alone. No salary to pay. No assessment. No mismanagement.

Numerous Geologists have found the formation and structural conditions in McCul loch county most favorable for the accumulation and reten tion of oil and that it should make a wonderful field. , Among the geologists so reporting are the following: 1 W. W. Orcutt, Chief Geologist of the Union Oil Co., a' $50,000,000 California Corporation. M. J. Munn, for many years with the United States Geological Survey and later head of the Geological Depart ment of the Gipsy Oil Co., of Oklahoma. A. D. Lloyd and Major Ottey, prominent Geologists of Kansas. ' C. S. Thomas, Geologist for the Union Oil Co. Prof. W. L. Watts, former State Geologist of the State of California. Dr. J. A. Udden, head of the Geological Department of Texas. E. E. Victor of Tulsa, Okl. Geo. F. King of Denver, Colorado.. A. L. Beakley, Geologist for the Casden Oil Co. And W. L. Thayer, Geologist of Kansas. DOUGLAS OIL COMPANY HAS SHOW ING OF BOTH OILJND GAS AT 700 FT. HALF MILLION CUBIC FEfcT OF GAS IS ESTIMATED FLOW DRILLING CONTINUES THRU 30 FT. OF SAND AND ARE NOW BACK INTO HARD LIME AGAIN. i The Douglas Oil Co. late Monday evening struck a flow of gas which the drillers estimated at half-million cubic feet. Previous to striking the gas flow there had been a good showing of oil. The oil and gas was found at between 660 and 700 feet, in about 30 ft. of sand. The caving of the sand and the striking of a strong flow of water, however, prevented a thorough test of the sand, and drilling was continued through and back into hard lime. The well is now drilling at some thing over 700 feet. J. E. McGinley, president of the Douglas Oil Co., arrived from Ne braska Sunday and was greatly in terested in the showing. The well has been visited throughout the week by large numbers of citizens from all parts of the county, as well as by oil men and investors visiting here. The fact that the oil .sands are capable of being developed into a paying shallow well, according to local oil men, and the further report that the Douglas Co. is considering starting a shallow test, has caused rising prices in leases in the vicin ity of the well. The report of shal low development by the company could not be confirmed. MINNESOTA BUYERS PAY $125,000 FOR TEN-ACRE TRACT SECTION OF HERNDON TRACT SOLD BY DONOHOO & . v O'MEARA TUESDAY.
