There is no connection whatever between the two companies. G he checks pictured below are the indices of the success of this wonderful man. Combined with the affidavits which you see on this page—sworn statements of those men and women who won wealth by following Trapshooter Reilly in Kansas—these checks must convince you beyond the ghost of a doubt that a Pilot of Profitable Performance is beckoning you to join him. Trapshooter Reilly “Whacks Up” Again---Cash Paying Monarch of Oil Maintains Reputation as‘Pay-Out’ Wizard Trapshooter Reilly, greatest known living profit-payer in oil, divides up the pot again. Below is a group picture of disbursement checks now going out to the stockholders of the TRAP- SHOOTER TRUST, Reilly’s first Texas enterprise. The TRAPSHOOTER TRUST was organized in October of last year. Within five months after organization Trapshooter Reilly sends checks to his stockholders equal to of My Drillers” 4427-4 Monster Humphreys Well Thunders in at 3500 bbls. per Day—Few Thousand Yards North of Trapshooter Reilly’s Couch No. 1 on 32 Acres at Wortham— Porter No. 1 Drilling on 1000 Acres in Kaufman County The Gods of Luck are with me again. It seems I cannot fail in my predictions. It seems—I know not why—that when I pitch my tent on a structure the oil comes a few weeks later. Time and again have I told the invest- ing public that Wortham, where I am drill- ing my Couch No. f, would prove up one of the great oil fields of the United States. Repeatedly have I said that the Meador well defined the northern edge of the pool; that the great production was south of the Meador; and that my Couch was over the very heart of the lake of oil. AND TODAY THE NEWS HAS GONE FORTH TO THE WORLD THAT THE COLE GUSHER HAS THUN- DERED IN AT BETWEEN 3,500 AND 4,000 BARRELS! This is wonderful news to my stock- holders throughout the land, and myself— but I am not surprised. Before making my location on the Couch lease I inspected the structure for miles around. I made a close examina- M tion of the underground formation as dis- closed by the wells which had been drilled to the east and west. I FOUND THAT WE HAD A PER- FECT ENCLOSURE! Wells three miles to the west were dry. Wells three miles to the east were salt water, The Meador, I judged, was an edge well which defined the northern extremity of a great pool of oil connecting up to the southwest with the wondrous gusher land of Mexia. Was I right? The Cole gusher which came in this morning is located south and a little west of the Meador, a distance of 2,000 feet. THE COLE STANDS SQUARELY BETWEEN THE MEADOR AND MY COUCH NO. 1—A FEW THOUSAND YARDS NORTH OF THE COUCH. The Dallas News of this morning (March 16) says: “The Cole well com- pleted today is a producer of the daily vol- ume of many of the Mexia gushers and it stamps the territory where it is located as gusher area.” Any vestige of doubt which might have lurked in my mind that the Couch would be a gusher is now entirely swept away. NOT ONLY WILL MY COUCH NO. 1 BE A GUSHER WITHIN TWO WEEKS, BUT IT WILL BE A LARGER WELL THAN THE COLE, IS MY PREDIC- TION TODAY! g These days I am standardizing the Couch and preparing it for completion. I believe it is only a matter of days before it comes in a great oil well. There is no doubt ‘in the minds of oil men in Texas today that production in the Wortham field will increase to the south- ward towards Mexia. Oh, this completion of the Cole is won- derful news for the oil world as a whole, - but particularly for my stockholders and myself! Today I am living again those hectic days in Kansas when my famous Trap- shooter lease was proved up by the incom- ing of a neighboring well, just as I believe the Cole has proved our 32 Couch acres at Wortham now. Not long after that time my stockhold- ers won from $4,000 to $31,000 in eight months on an investment with me of $100. Now—in Texas—with the opportunity we now have it is impossible for me to com- pute how large should be our winnings. But, in our enthusiasm over our pros- pects at Wortham, let us not forget Kauf- man County. WE HAVE HAD A SHOWING OF OIL AND GAS IN OUR PORTER NO. 1 ON THREE THOUSAND ACRES THERE AT A DEPTH OF 970 FEET! Read the telegram below from Mr. Ol- son, a banker of Mabank, Texas, near where our Porter is drilling. That I believe we will bring in one of the first—if not the first—oil wells in Kaufman County goes without saying. There I made the same close inspection of structure that I made at Wortham. I moved carefully with my geologists and, when I made my location, was convinced I had found the surface of what I believe will prove one of the great oil fields of the world. When you become a stockholder of my Development Company-you participate in all the wells drilled by me for that com- pany. The Couch and Porter are only the first two. I plan many others during the com- ing glorious months. The entire Balcones Fault lies before me, and the investors of the nation—are back of me in one of the greatest oil development programs ever undertaken by one man. In the days gone by I have brought Wealth and Fortune to my stockhoiders. Even now—just a few days ago—I sent 50 per cent checks to every one of the hundreds of my stockholders in the Trap- shooter Trust—my first Texas enterprise. Today I am calling you into my Devel- opment Company, the greatest effort of my whole life. In my heart I feel our winnings from this project will far outstrip those which have gone before in my career. f The Gods of Luck are with me again. Will you share in what they will bring me?
