DEEP OIL WILL BENEFIT ELECTRA
We told you so! Dig up your old copies of the Electra
News. See if you don't find that we predicted way back yonder
that thei'e is deep oil in this part of the state. It has not been
uncovered in paying quantities in this immediate vicin-
ity as yet, but Electra stands to profit greatly by the discovery
of a rich deep sand in the Les Johnson well at Crowell.
Electra is headquarters for Texas Company machine shops,
Warehouses, etc. Electra has adequate supply houses, machine
shops and hotel accommodations for folks interested in develop-
ment of the new field. We have paved roads leading to the new
pool and the fact that some veteran Electra oil men are in charge
of lease sales for much of the acreage available should help Elec-
tra prestige in the matter of bringing future development toward
this city.
Mark our prediction. Deep sands will bring Electra back
into its place as the hub of oil industries in Northwest Texas.
It may not be a fact this year or next, but in the meantime we
congratulate the Texas company and the promoters of deep oil
development in this section.
HARVEST TIME IS ‘‘BUY NOW” TIME
Electra merchants again enjoyed a splendid business Satur-
day and have been fairly busy this week. Cotton picking con-
tinues in full swing and relief business locally is confined to the
“direct relief” cases of which we have since Bible times, “had
witl\ us always.” New automobiles are being paraded on the
streets and highways, and if there is an old whoopy that has not
been retired, gassed and oiled and put in locomotion, we don't
know where it is. If we did we might help sell it for auto sales-
men report a shortage of used cars. It is hard to visualize the
distressing* unemployment situation through which we passed
during the last two years and we are hoping they are really
PASSED.
There is plenty of hunger, dirt and squaller still abounding
around us but we are a lot better off than this time last year.
Lots of folks are buying groceries and new clothes, who this time
last year were subsisting on relief work. There is enotigh evi-
dence that things are getting better to justify our urging that
we speed the National Recovery Administration by buying now
the things we have been needing for ourselves and our homes.
We could not blame the fellow, who a few months ago held
on to his money through fear of worse to come. If we had had
a dollar then we would have hoarded it, too. As it was, we
suffered no inconvenience through giving up hoarded gold and
could not conscientiously urge others to turn loose and spend
for luxuries that which they might have needed for food. Not
so now. A bumper crop, dollar oil, six-bit wheat and jobs for
about half »of the unemployed makes the silver lining to the
cloud which has obscured our sun.
Winter’s blasts may dissolve our visions of better times
ahead, but we are not going to worry about that now.
