Diamond Construction
Makes It Strong
Pkiudeiphia
my
In the Battery Plates, the members cross
each other at angles, forming Diamonds,
which brace against buckling, short-cir-
cuiting anil shedding active material. Be-
cause the Diamond (Irtd is protected by
patents, only Philadelphia Battery plates
can be built on this Diamond principle.
Another exclusive Diamond Grid feature
Is the patented, quarter-sawed, hardwood
separator. These separators provide per-
fect insulation and perfect conductivity
and actually last as long as the plates i
themselves.
Other notable features are (D dowelled,
lock-corner, wood cases. (2) unit-seal as-
sembly, (3) bolted handles. (4» non-spill,
moulded covers, (5) easily removable filler
raps, and (0) non acid creeping petticoat
terminal posts.
Philadelphia Diamond Grid Batteries are
guaranteed for eighteen months. We know
this battery will satisfy the most exacting
Motorist—that's why we sell it.

Q.—How much acreage has the company?
A.—The company h>8 no acreage, its holdings consist of three town lots in the City
of Burkburnett, a total of 130 feet square.
Q.—Are any producing wells near?
A.—Yes. There are producing wells on every side of the property of the Dixie Queen.
Q.—How near are producing wells to this property?
A.—It is not a question now of having producing wells near the property to prove it
up. The question now is to keep just as few wells as possible around us, and to
have them as far away ax possible, as all draw from the same pool, and if too near
together would interfere with the production of cach other.
Q.—What assurance is there that wells will not be drilled too near to our property?
A.—The leaseholders adjoining us have agreed not to drill nearer than seventy-five
feet to our line. We have agreed to the same in relation to their property, and we
have a sixty-foot street to the south of us, which gives us ample territory from
which to draw- our oil.
Q.—Whit royalties are to be paid from the property?
A.—A royalty of one-eighth of the oil produced from the property goes to the original
ownera of the land.
(Not less than 5
shares to one per-
son.)

returns would be much larger than in Dixie Queen, which is in ABSOLUTELY.
