placed on the market in a few days This company has leases on 532 acres in the oil bearing district of Wayne county a section whose pro ductions are now attracting the atttn ton of oil men throughout tbe entire country and beyond a doubt will prove oneof the greatest producers of Amber Oil brail this Southern country This company in the main Is made of con servatlve and aggressive business men men who do not jump at conclusions or who would indulge in wild cat spec ulation hence we expect to see every step taken lead in the direction of development of their valuable territo ryand to protect to

section are familiar with the sudden and tremendous advance in the value of stock in other oil companies that have secured producing wells They I understand that a good strike of tei brings a fortune and that a failure to drill in the proper place simply mcaps a loss to the amount of the money used I in drilling They all know and realize that nothing but the drill will tell the II correct tale or
