THE BEST BET IN PECOS COUNTY
THE CHANCE OF A EEFETIME
40 Acre Lease in 21-2 Miles of The Miracle Well
$20
Why buy leases far from producing wells, when
you can own a share in a 40 acre lease for $20, in 2Vi
miles of the famed Miracle and Wonder wells, and on
the same structure? These wells are producing 90 per
cent of fine lubricant oil, which has sold for $10 per
barrel.
Get In Close to Production Where You Have Every
Chance to Win Big
This lease is in the N. W\ quarter of section 4, block
140, Pecos county, in 2Vi miles of several oil wells.
A well now drilling on the adjoining section having
strong oil showing and have every faith it will come
in a big producer in the next 500 feet. A location
positively made for a well in 200 yards of this lease
by reliable company. Wells drilling all directions from
this lease. How could it lay better for production?
This lease is guaranteed to be free of all debts and
title approved by good attorney.
40 Acre Leases Have Sold in Texas Oil Fields for
Over $500,000 and This One Has a Splendid Chance
to I)o the Same. Just Think What One Share Could
Bring You. Over $3,300.00
This association is capitalized at $3,000 and con-
trols Vh of the oil and gas on said lease, l/s going to
landowner. Each share represents 1-150 undivided
interest in this lease and you will receive that full
share when sold or oil is produced on same.
The association is to hold the lease until a tremen-
dous increase in value, which we think will only be
a short time, and then sell it or contract for wells to
be drilled on a 50-50 basis. In latter event the trus-
tee will require a bpnus of not less than $3,000 from
party desiring to drill and this money will be divided
pro-rata among the shareholders before drilling is
begun.
Milton C.erst is trustee of this association and as-
sumes the management without compensation of any
kind until lease is sold or wells brought in. If the
lease is sold he retains 10 per cent of any amount
over $30,000. If wells are drilled he receives 1-16 of
all production.
Unlike other oil companies, this lease is capitalized
below its cash value and could be sold here for this
price, was it not for the tighness of money. This small
capitalization will make it net big returns when 9old
for a good price or wells brought in.
1 am putting it in this shape and small capitaliza-
tion to raise some quick cash. I reserve $500 of this
stock myself and have another lease adjoining this
lease that is not for sale. I, Milton Gerst, own
property in Pecos county and am a resident here, and
will guarantee you a fair and square /leal. I cannot
afford to connect my name with any disreputable
deal. For reference: First NationBank ; Chamber of
Commerce; First State Bank; any county official.

WOOL MARKETING
PLANS DISCUSSED
Tentative wool grades formu-
lated by the bureau of markets.
United States department of ap-
iriculture. together with the poli-
|cies of the bureau and American
farm bureau federation in regard
to the regional and local county
wool pools, were discussed at a
conference recently held in
Washington.
The farm bureau federation
favors the plan of regional pools
at points of large concentration,
and is not convinced, it is said,
of the practical value of the ten-
ative wool grades. The confer-
ence resulted in a better under-
standing of the views of the
farm bureau federation and of
the bureau of markets regarding
the points under discussion.
The meeting adjourned with
the understanding that the bu-
reau of markets would arrange
for a later conference between
the representative wool growers,
buyers, mills and organizations
of farmers at a convenient date
in order to promote a better un-
derstanding of the work of the
bureau with respect to pooling,
grading and marketing wool.
