How can you fail to become a stockholder of Trapshooter Reilly with this evidence before you? If you are an oil investor and know anything about the oil busi- ness at all, you must admit that this man of Kansas seems endowed with some special qualifications for making the oil industry pay him and his ffiends. About two years ago Trapshooter Reilly set the oil world aflame with his remarkable exploit at El Dorado, Kan, He developed the famous Trapshoover Oil Company lease, and his stockholders took down from $4,000 to $31,000 in cash in eight months on an investment of $100.

Trapshooter Reilly. Pays 100% in April Echo of Reilly’s “Pay-out” Record in Kansas Heard Once More in Texas I am “paying out” again this month. For the second time in thirty days I am sending disbursement checks to my hundreds of stockholders of the Trapshooter Trust, my first Texas company. Last month I paid them 50 per cent of their investment with me. THIS MONTH I AM PAYING THEM ONE HUNDRED PER CENT. I organized and financed the Trapshooter Trust the latter part of last Sep- tember. Therefore, I have paid my stockholders in that enterprise 150 per cent in six months. I believe that the oil properties which I accumulated for my Trapshooter Trust, and which still remain unsold, will enable me to make many more dis- bursements of cash to those men and women who placed their confidence in me last fall. Don’t be confused. The Trapshooter Trust and my present Trapshooter Development Company are two distinct, separate enterprises with no connec- tion whatever. I have made my first Texas company—the Trapshooter Trust—immensely profitable for those who joined me in that project, in the last sixmonths. Every, one of these stockholders are flooding me with letters of congratulations and sup- port because once more have I demonstrated that I possess the ability to make the great oil fields pay wealth to my friends and myself. This is the second time an oil company of mine has “paid out.” The first time was up in Kansas. It seems only a few short months ago. As organizer of the famous Trapshooter Oil Company, I developed that world-known lease so rapidly and so successfully that within eight short months my stockholders won from $4,000 to $31,000 in cash on an investment of a meager $100. That was one of the greatest “pay-outs” of all time. ‘ The press of the world heralded my accomplishment in Kansas as proof un- deniable that the oil industry, when conducted by capable men, is the most prof- itable on earth. I am “paying out” again in Texas — and I am determined to continue to pay out thousands upon thousands, yes, millions of dollars to my stockholders'during the months to come. I believe that the Trapshooter Development Company, my present enter- prise, affords you, as an investor, the most exceptional chance at fortune today. I am almost half through. So rapid has ben the response which the investors of this coun- try have accorded me that my financing campaign is rapidly drawing to the peak. ;; The last ten days I have spent on the floor of ou? Couch No, 1 well at Wortham. During Bad sone oy: and through the dark watches of the night I stayed with the drillers, except for a few ours of sleep. Our Couch No. 1 is below 3000 feet. Will it be the next great sensation of the Texas field? Providence only can tell this with certainty, but in my heart I feel the gods of luck, who stood by me at El Dorado, Kan., when I developed the great Trapshooter lease, are with me today at Wortham. In every brain cell that I have I am convinced that my world famous success in Kansas, when my stock- holders won from $4,000 to $31,000 in cash in eight months on an investment with me of $100 will be con- tinued and even surpassed at Wortham and in Kauf- man County. Ah, Kaufman County! al There—in Kaufman County—my stockholders and I stand an extraordinary chance of winning millions upon millions of dollars. Trapshooter’s Porter No. 1 in Kaufman County has oil showing at 900 feet. Our Porter No. i well is drilling at about 1,500 feet. The log of this well thus far convinces me that within thirty days from now I will have opened up a new field here in Kaufman County. We had a showing of oil in the Porter No. 1 at 900 feet. Geologically speaking, this is as it should be. I was not surprised, for I expected it. Foot by foot, as we have gone down the underground structure of our Porter No. 1, corresponds unmistak- ably to the logs of the great gushers of Mexia, which are located on the same formation—the Balcones Fault. The Porter No. 1 is being drilled on 3000 acres. A gusher in the Porter No. 1, I believe, will make our lease and well worth $20,000,000—and I intend to sell.
