Atlas Oil Co.
At Midnight
February 24—ATLAS STOCK ADVANCES. The rap-
idly increasing development of the IOWA PARK field has
justified the fast increasing sale of our stock; recent indi-
cations lead us to believe that we are on the eve of discover-
ing a field much greater than any one has heretofore pre-
dicted, therefore, each day. ATLAS stock has mofe intrinsic
value than it had the day Before, so, after due deliberation,
the trustees have decided, that, should there be any of the
stock unsold at MIDNIGHT, FEBRUARY 24—the remaining
shares will be sold only at a sharp advance over the par
value. NOW IS THE TIME to secure YOUR portion of this
really good looking stock while it is yet at par. The possi-
bilities of such a company are beyond the fondest imagina-
tion, and no matter what your other experiences in oil invest-
ments may have been, you cannot afford to delay in the
purchase of ATLAS. '
WE HAVE
Watkins’
producing
20 acres located a little over 1500 feet from the
well (called the discovery well)—and which is
what is claimed to be the highest grade of oil found in the
State of Texas, and selling at the premium price of $3.80
per bbl. W? are also near the Black Diamond well, which
was drilled to the sand a few days ago and is showing for a
fine producer, but not yet drilled in, ore account of vyaiting
for tankage. Two deep tests are to be drilled near us and
locations and rigs arc going in faster than can be kept track
WE GUARANTEE TWO WELLS TO "THE WATKINS’
SAND, which was found at 675 feet. We exjiect to turn
well No. -1 direct'to dividends as soon as the proper sale of
oil and distribution can be made. Well No. 2 will be used
to drill No. 3—then it goes to dividends and so on. In
other words each new producing well will add one well to
the dividend class. The trustees, Messrs. Brown & McDevitt,
