So If You Want to be ^Appy Be An Appalachian But Be One While You Can Get In For 25 Cents y^O M E take a look with us at our plans for immediate development 1 of the 680 acres taken over from Gault Brothers & Yahn of Glean, where ten producing wells are all giving an excellent account of themselves and where Arthur P. Hassett will commence at once to drill the first of our 24 new wells. Read what the Glean Evening Herald says in its reference to the Appalachian Petroleum Prospecting Com pany as large oil producers operating in this state, Pennsylvania and as far south as Kentucky: **The Irvine M ills lea s e has th e repu tation o f being one of th e best in th is en tire territory.” Read the reasons for the enthusiasm manifested T 7 E are taking the money you pay for your shares in this campaign \ A / to develop fields which have proved themselves. We are not ~ * wild-catting. We are not going where dusters or dry holes are more likely to come than the real juice with the money in it, but prefer to get the volume of production through conservative prospecting scientifically measured by what actual tests of the different fields and territories have shown. If monster producers happen to result from our practical developments, as we look for especially in southern Kentucky, just imagine what the shares you are now offered at 25 cents will grow to. Count to $5.00. Count to $25.00. There is no limit to the growth of an oil investment if the bowels of the earth should respond* in any considerable extent to the operations. And the beauty about this opportunity is- that you risk nothing when you pay your 25 cents a share of the 200,000-share issue that we are now putting out. You are~ given’8 per cent interest from the start on every dollar you invest. This 8 per cent is guaranteed from oil now being produced. ' A well yielding $28.00 a day or over $4,000 a year is set aside for. this special purpose, and until dividends equal or exceed 8 per cent you are paid 8 per cent from the proceeds of this well. We pay you this 8 per cent in 2 per cent quarterly installments. When you receive your shares you are given a collateral contract or guarantee along with your certificate. This protects you—guarantees that you'll get the 8 per cent. What other new investment equally as safe pays more? Answer this question, and then consider the legitimacy of our proposition. You don't see the average prospecting company coming out and guaranteeing any thing, do you? But we are doing it. We are doing it because we feel we have the most remarkable proposition ever presented, and because we feel that our new plan of ideaJL Gasoline Service Stations is goingto revolutionize retail distribution to the delight of the public and to the satisfaction of all automobile, truck and . tractor owners. Earning 12 cents net profit on each gallon of gasoline by furnishing the finished product direct from the crude oil of our own wells, instead of buying from other producers and earning only 8 1-3 cents per gallon, explains why we are so optimistic. Still this' is not the sole grounds for our optimism. Look at the grounds for our optimism 1 ^ I '*HE greatest grounds for our optimism are dowii in Kentucky. I Some days ago seeing oil gush 50 feet into the air on the Barlow Lease, Allen County, when the drill in a well just brought in dropped into the oil pocket, was one of jthe startling sights happening frequently among the fields adjacent to our leaseholds in southern Kentucky, where we have 650 acres in Powell county, on the line of the most flattering prospects. The gusher referred to, drilled by the famous Doc Spencer, continued to gush for about ten hours when the sand caved in and stopped the flow, and later reports found the owners es timating that the production would settle down to not less than a 500- barrel well and perhaps a 1000-barrel well. . The excitement in southern Kentucky seems to be fully justified, and raises our prospect to a wonderful pinnacle. Think! A new lease of not over 100 acres, known as the McReynold lease, sold to G. W. Gwens of Lexington, Ky., has brought a half million dollars. And down here in the golden strata of this very region is where we expect to institute our next big operations. Foresight of practical men should not be j underestimated ] ' I ^HE early foresight of the Appalachian prospectors must be given I no little credit for securing leaseholds in this territory in advance of - the record productions already in; and we-expect to be able to give you the news of the acquirement of additional properties, or options, in this territory. However, our development of the Gault Lease in itself ought to be more than satisfying to the purchasers who will absorb present issue of shares-. With the $50,000 received from the sale of these 200,000 shares the company proposes to drill six of the 24 new wells where there is pos itively no record of a dry hole, and for this reason a minimun production of at least $180.00 per day is expected from this one*operation alone. The Appalachian Petroleum Prospecting Company, which Invites you into this limited issue of 200,000 shares, is incorporated for $3,000,000 with 3,000,000 shares of $1.00 par value; and owns and controls lease holds of 7148 acres right in the v-ery thick of the best production fields- of New York, Pennsylvania and Kentucky* Its oflicers are : Frank W. Steck of Gil City, Pa., president; Frank Mack of Eldred, Pa., vice-pres ident; William S. Morton of Great Valley, N. Y„ director; Dr. W. H. Hay of Corry, Pa., director; Katherine Head of Jamestown, N. Y., secretary; John E. Smith of Jamestown, N. Y., director and C. J. Paul son of Erie, Pa., director. «^ In view of w h a t we've recited above you ought to get in quick, if you wish to become an Appalachian at 25 cents per share. You might have to pay 50 cents on the next, opportunity. Perhaps 75 cents. More likely par. Developm ent wiU come fast now. Contracts for big oper ations have been closed.
