OUR PROPOSITION
YOUR OPPORTUNITY
OIL LAND
— AT-
$25.00
Per Acre
Many men have millions
of dollars. How did they
get them? By inheritance,
a lucky strike or a profit-
able investment. They or
their progenitors gambled and won.
If you worked hard every
working day in the year
at $2 per day, and buried
$1 each day, at the end of
3206 years you could dig
up one million dollars.
If the Big Companies Can Risk Fortunes in the Fort
Stockton Oil Fields, You Nay Risk a Few
dollars and Gain Independence
We are not selling
stock. We are not
promoting an oil
development scheme
Ours is a genuine
ground floor
proposition
We have sub>divided 320 acres of our
land holdings, situated in the heart cen-
ter of the proposed oil development area
of the Fort Stockton Oil Field, Pecos
County, Texas, into 40 acre blocks, each
block containing ten lots, each lot four
acres, and are offering a tour acre lot
for $100.00, terms 40 per cent cash, the
balance in two equal monthly payments,
due on or before one and two months
from date, without interest.
We deed the land in
fee simple. Our title
is good not only to
the surface, but to
everything in the
land to the center of
the earth.
Will we get oil? The big Companies think so.
Why? Because the big geologists say so.
Are geologists’ opinions good? Geologists
have in the last few years reduced the risk of
drilling to a minimum. The U. S. Government report
shows 86 per cent of oil wells completed in three years
were producers.
