AND ONE OF THE BEST BETS THAT HAS EVER BEEN OFFERED THE PUBLIC
Where do you find the chance of being able to buy in a company that has 10,000 acres all reserved for its stockholders, where no
Jack pot is made up for the promoter or promoters in either stock or acreage. Where none of the officers draw any salary except
the President who is Superintendent and Manager. ^
The possibilities for a tremendous profit like in this deal were never offered to you before, where one dollar looks like it may make
100 or 1000 to one. We hope you will see the wisdom of taking a chance.
What would $100 invested in the Aransas Live Oak Ridge Oil Company mean to you if we were to bring in a small gusher. What
if a good sized gusher of 5,000 or 10,000 barrels should be brought in? Our lease may have an estimated value of ten million dol-
lars and probable ^earnings to Justify five times that. These figures may sound like fairy tales, but may happen again as they
have happened so many times the last few years in Texas. *
We now have our derrick built on second site and are ready to set up the machinery as fast as the contractor hauls it out. This
site of well No. 2 is a very good location, we have indications of sulphur in the water wells, and brackish salt water wells all the
way over to Gregory, a distance of 9 miles. A good sign of an oil pool on this location. r
We have an experienced driller, Clarence A. Moff, who has been tried and proven honest and efficient, who has proven his ability
to side track 1700 feet of 4-inch drill stem and 700 feet of 3-inch drill stem in Sigmund Well No. 1, and been able to reach a great
depth of 4010 feet, who will have charge of the drilling operations of well No. 2.
We own our own 'outfit complete with enough casing to make a well to 3500 feet, a 10,000 acre lease with 1-8 royalty. I have per-
sonal knowledge of all details and a business experience of over 29 years in financial matters of many kinds.
Why should you not take a small bet with us when you have all this chance to get into a deal that is as straight as a man can
make it, that will stand the search light from any angle and where the character and reputation of the principles of the men
are unquestioned.
We are offering this stock at $25.00 par and selling on a basis of 25 per cent cash, 25 per cent every month, and your note to
cover.
•fc " ., ,tf\, V»; 7 - ' : Vw, *,!Vv'* , *'
I want to say to you I am in this deal to find oil, no reverses can discourage me. You will always find me persevering to overcome
all obstacles. I will stay by the work day or night. I hope you will see the wisdom of ordering some of our stock today.

the world.

OFF IN THE MARY ANN FOR
FISHING AND HUNTING TRIP
H. R. Butcher; formerly deputy state
game warden, is entertaining his broth-
er, C. M. Butcher and son, Herschel,
of Fort Worth, with a hunting and
fishing trip that will take them up
the Intercoastal canal to San Antonio
bay and the mouth of the Gaudalupe
river. They left early in the week in
the launch Mary Ann, which is espec-
ially designed and equipped for outing
parties, and will fish and hunt ducks
on the way up to the Gaudalupe, where
they will take to the land for a deer
hunt. As the water is full of trout and
red fish and surface covered with v red-
head, sprig, widgeon and blue bill
ducks, and dee* reported plentiful, the
party expects to have an enjoyable
and memorable time.

No sir-ee, bob!
No premiums with
Camels—all quality!
pjOAMELS quality plus Camels ex-
pert blend of choice Turkish and
choice Domestic tobaccos pass out the
most wonderful cigarette smoke you
ever drew into your mouth!
And, the way to prove that
statement is to compare Camels
puff-by-puff with any cigarette in
the world!
Camels have a mild mellowness that
is as new to you as it is delightful.
Yet, that desirable “body” is all there!
They are always refreshing—they)
never tire your taste.
Camels leave no unpleasant cigaretty
aftertaste nor unpleasant cigaretty odor!
Your say-so about Camels will be:
“My), but that's a great cigarette'9*
Camels are sold everywhere in scientifically sealed
packages of 20 cigarettes for 20 cents, or ten pack-
ages (200 cigarettes) in a g/asatne paper-covered
carton. We strongly recommend this carton fortho
home or office supply or when you travel.
