Chance

You Rich
We are going to drill
for Oil at Luther. We
are selling stock to raise
money for this purpose,
and we are selling it rap-
idly. Already we have
sold enough to justify
the statement that
We Will Drill
and several contractors are
already being figured with
for a test well.
This company holds leas-
es on 6000 acres of land
around Luther. Take your
school map of Oklahoma
and study it. Notice that
all the oil wells in Oklaho-
ma have been found in ter-
ritory where the elevation
above the sea is less than
1000 feet Follow the trend
of the producing territory
from the northeast to the
southwest. Notice that
Luther lies in what appears
to be what was formerly,
ages ago. the arm of an in-
land sea. and lies less than
1000 feet above the sea.
Notice that Loco, Stephens
county, where a 500 barrel
well was recently brought
>n, is located in an arm of
this prehistoric sea, just as
Luther is.
your own conclusions.
We believe we are in the
oil belt,
our money into it, expect-
ing to make a strike. If
we do the leases alone will
be worth $6,000,000 — as
leases in producing terri-1
tory are worth $1,000 per
acre, think what this means
on a capitalization of only
$12,000.

FARM EXHIBITS WERE
BEYOND EXPECTATION
Anyone who doubts this seotion for raising good farm products
should have attended the exhibit here Saturday. It is true some
of the products were not a fair sample of the whole crop, but most
of them were. One stalk of ootton on exhibit had 220 bolls on it,
but the average was a little better that a hundred good bolls.
The exhibits were better and more interest was manifested than
was really expected owing to the short notice given the farmers
and it being the first exhibit ever held in Luther. You can look
out for an exhibit next year that is likely to take some blue ribbons
at the state fair, for they certainly raise the products for a good
exhibit in this seotion.
