Such stories come to light almost every day in the year, and not the half of them have been told. In the city 6f Tulsa, Oklahoma, it is said that not less than one hundred million- naires have risen to their present dizzy heights of affluence through good fortune in oil investments. Qil has been for years and is today the real poor man’s chance in the investment field. Practically no other business is open to the small investor as representing a possible fortune on the investment of $100 or less. Thousands of human beings, strug- thirty days. Mid-Continent oil now worth %3.00 a bar- rel. One 1,000 barrel well now worth $750 more daily than previous to to price advances. Thousands of rigs going up and drilling. This your op- portunity. gling in the grip of poverty, have been swept into the world of wealth and affluence almost overnight through new oil wealth. It is said that oil has lifted more mortgages. paid move grocery bills. built more homes, bought more pleasures, and smoothed more rough places along the Road of Life, than all the combined value of gold and silver. quiet, quieter and stiller than ¢y When an oil well is drilled. it may be definitely' counted on to do one of two things—if it is dry, it just goes on being very —if it is an oil gusher, it commences by growling in the bowels of the earth, and, with a mighty roar, starts in to clutter up the surrounding landscape, spouting Packards and Pierce-Arrows. trips to Europe, marble palaces in New York, cte., and thus Oil Has Become Known as the Master Money M aker of the Age.

E. RAMSEY, FORMER CLERK, NOW AN OIL MILLIONAIRE Following is an article from the Ard- morite, of Ardmore, Okla.:— _ I ‘he many friends of Eddie Ramsex. in tLis city, will rejoice to know that he is a millionaire oil man, Mr. Ramsey was = clerk in a dry goods store in this eity when Healdton was discovered. e caught the oil fever and began to rlay the game, His brother, W. R. Ram- sey. a banker in Oklahoma City. was bis partner and the two for several years have been active in the oil business al- though W. R. Ramsey remained in the henk and Eddie has been the active mem- ber of the partnership. The dea? which made Mr. Ramser a millionaire was consummated the latter part of the week and consisted of the sale of some property in Louisiana to Robert W. Lick, Roy Stafford and others. $23,000 FOR $100 IS WHAT ‘HOG CREEK’ STOCK BRINGS.” This report in the Fort Worth (Texas) Star-Telegram of Sept. 29 last speaks for itself:— Thronghout the United States men and women have received profits of thousands of dollars from investments of a few hun- dred dollars, or even less, in the great oil activity of Texas, Okla- homa and Louisiana.

SPLITTING THE RISK 50-50 The element of zamble in the business of oil drilling is com- paratively small, considered as a business. However, Empire 0Oil Wells has practically cut the risk in half. by effecting a coun- tract with another drilling company. The driiling company agrees to drill three wells on three separate leases. and to sell to Empire Oil Wells 2 part of the lease near each well drilled. pire then agrees to drill three wells on three separate leases. and sell to the drilling company a part of each lease near each well. Thus it may be seen that Empire Oil Wells has the benefit of testing six leases for oil at the cost of drilling three. If either company strikes a gusher. the other comipany then owns an ad- joining acreage. which ix a sure-shot for a good weil. Thus our chances for striking a large well quickly are practically doubled.
