INVEST YOUR MONEY WISELY!!
You don"! have
to wait for us to
start* We have
a well down over
800
feet deep.
Reap a Financial Harvest
F\ VOnt OH. Unquestionably the great-
est wealth producer. We are surrounded
by producing wells, this practically guaran-
tees big pay oil. In proven territory, res-
ponsible personnel, a company ably and
honestly managed, are salient facts to be
considered when playing the oil game.
Hurry
a
of
our stock final
we arc selling at
$10*00 par will
soon be sold*
There is nothing that offers the possibilities of profit that a well-directed oil company does* Did you
ever figure out the possibilities? Here are some of. the figures based on a $100 investment—one 3000
barrel well should produce $1,750 per year. Fifty such wells should produce $87,500* We have am«
* pie acreage for over fifty wells. If we were to produce fifty wells such as the Emma Terrel well, one
hundred dollar share should earn $408,833 at $2 p er barrel for oil. We do not intend to tell you that
$100 invested in the Pan-Texas Oil and Refining Company will earn you that amount* Frankly
we do hot think that it will, but this is possible and we do think that a few' hundred dollars invested
with us would make you an independent living.
INFORMATION. FOR UNCLE SAM
Some Really Amusing Answers Sentj
In in Response to Government
Queries.
Among the wearisome masses of
correspondence a government de-
partment must read through daily*
there is a never-failing source of
amusement in the answers of un-
educated people.
Asked “where were you bora?”
one answered, "died when I was an
infant.” Another, "deceased is dead,
m far as I know.” In a space at the
bottom of a form for a signature or
mark appeared "one small scar on
the back of my neck.”
One of the most cryptic replies
was "Aitin aidono becosegorntuita-
lie,” which was finally deciphered to
read: "Eighteen; I don’t know be-
cartee he gone to Italy.”
Some weird and wonderful occu-
pations are revealed at times, such
as "norker,” "dust gentleman,”
"bulldog burner,” ‘Tody washer,”
"animal insfcincter” and "catching
rabbits on me own,” which is a tact-
ful way to describe poaching.
An old lady pathetically re-
marked, "I have been left enough
money to live on, when I get it.”
A fair specimen of English as she
is written is: "Sorry to inform you.
that he has ’listed for . the war and
we can’t do nothink about anythink
about him and we don’t know what
to do without anythink of hisa’ be-
cause we don’t know where he’*
went.”

line between the Bake and Knowles wells on one side and tine Targe Hang-
er producers on the other side, and practically assured of-production.
Eighty aeres In Shackleford County practically surrounded by deep

well, and practically surrounded by good wells. We* are almost assured
of production on this tract.

We are negotiating for, and hope to have by the time this reaches
you, about 20 acres across the river from the 'Burkburnett fields. TMs is
right in the path, of production, and should be worth many times w2t*t
we are paying for it. • In a very short time, we are going to pay a nomi-
nal price for this acreage, but it is the intention of this company to take
advantage of development and acquire valuable 'acreage at reasonable
price when the opportunity presents itself.
No company Is any better than, the men behind it. The best of.
companies cannot succeed unless ably and honestly managed.. We be-
lieve that the personnel of our company is of the best. They are men

But Chances Are Hie Companion Was
Satisfied, So After All What Was
the Difference?
He was a regular army officer, his
hair tinged with gray and across his
breast he wore one of those vari-eol-
ored bars indicating that most of his
life had been spent in the country’s
service.
"See that?” said one callow youth,
indicating the service marks to his
companion as the officer strode up
the avenue.
"Yep. What does that get him?”
inquired the one addressed, ?
the decoration interestedly.
"That shows that he’s an
marksman,” was the answer ofV
vtyise o^e that caused a bystander
who had''overheard the conversation,
and who was up on mat-
ters, to gasp.
■"Expert marksman!” snorted th*
bystander, addressing no one in par-
ticular. "Been in every scrap vines
ifee Civil war—service stripes galore.
And then to have that insignia Ukm
for his badge as an expert rifleman!
Oh, well, what’s the use V* ^
COST OF AIRPLANE ffAH4
WE HAVE SECURED THE AGENCY FOR THE
Colombia Grafanolas
and if you never heard a Columbia play, we invite you
to our store where you will find an assortment of over
S00 Records
and we can convince you of the Columbia’s Superior
tone. We can get you any record wanted. The Col-
umbia Records fit any make of machine and are con-
sidered the best.
The air mail cost figure* ,
Bounced by the United States post
office department shows that a new
low cost record wa* made for eg,®
month by a Standard Mailplane Mo,
1, which carried the mail 3,84$ .
miles during the month at a cost of
35% cents per mile. This figure in-
cludes every expense, sueh a gaso-
line, oil, salaries, rent, repairs, office-
overhead, interest on investment
etc.
The average cost of the air mail
service per mile during Sepfcembef
for all types of machines used wa&
slightly in excess of 63 cents per
mile.
NO SIGH THINGS.
A. certain soldier always looked on
the dark side of things. One day n
friend tried to cheer him.
"Why don’t you do as the song
gays, ‘Pack all your troubles in yon*1
old kit bag, and smile, smile,
smile ? ”
"I tried that once,” he said, sadly,
"but the quartermaster didn’t hart
enough kit. bags.”
THE REASON.
"Bid you see where poets are
classed as essential producers?”
"ThafcY because the government
wants to get even with the neurspa*
P?**” '_
HOPEFUL.
"How about that luncheon la
Paris?” asked one Prussian olScur,
"Fid still hopeful,” replied Sl-
ather. "If they take us prisoner,
they'll have to feed us.”
THE WAY OF IT.
"The Junkers wanted Qermaajy fe
fight to the last man ”
“Well, from the way they are ran-
j*ing, each one wanted to be the hut
HUMS.”
