SQUARESHOOTER
Plays Square With the Investor
C A PIT L $25000 UNITS $50 EACH
In Texas oil there have been countless types of enterprises offered to the investor but never before has there been put to the pub-
lic an OPPORTUNITY so genuinely square and honest as this one. " It is not an oil stock offering but a syndicate handled
through a responsible bank whereby your money goes to buy INTERESTS in DRILLING WELLS in the wonderful Stephens
County fields. Never lias the world witnessed such a
Race for Wealth in Stephens County
as is now in progress. Over a thousand wells are pouring a steady stream of oil into the pipe lines and investors are reaping the
dividends. We home-folks have had everything to ourselves until now when outside capital clamors for recognition. And the
SQUARESHOOTER OIL SYNDICATE offers you THE OPPORTUNITY FOR WHICH YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING.

1. The money as received will be used to purchase in-
terests in wells drilling in Stephens County's proven fields.
2. The interests will be turned over to the Brecken-
ridge State Bank & Trust Company and that the Syndicate's
share of all oil or gas produced from the wells will be paid di-
rect to the bank by the pipe line companies or whoever may
purchase the oil.
3. The interests in wells w ill be selected not at random
hit or miss but with a due regard for the chances for oil the
management of the company drilling the well the record of
the drillers the proximitv to big wells etc. This is assured
you because the SQUARESHOOTER'S way of doing things
is the RIGHT way. The Syndicate has retained the services
of James P. Nash consulting engineer to advise in the selec-
tion of the interests in wells. Mr. Nash is a petroleum en-
gineer of standing in the Breckenridge field and knows the
Stephens County field like a book. He was for nearly a year
supers isor in the Breckenridge district for the Texas State
Railway Commission which has supervision of oil and gas
production and drilling in the State.
This proposal on the part of the Svndicate tvpifies the
SQUARESHOOTER way of doing things.
4. When oil is struck in any well in which the SQUARE-
SHOOTER has an interest the money derived will be paid
into the Breckenridge State Bank & Trust Company. This
bank will hold it until enough has accumulated for a dividend
then YOU get it.
5. You get an honest four-square run for your money
in the SQUARESHOOTER because your bets are scattered.
You get a chance for ten big wells in the best pools of the
county; vou don't place all your money on ONE well. Re-
member' the SQUARESHOOTER will have ten interests in
ten wells.

Just Consider
These Statistics Taken from the Official
Records:
Statistics show that the percentage of producing wells
of all those drilled in Stephens County last year was 7S. In
other words we can reasonably expect to land SEVEN pro-
ducers out of ten wells in which we get interests if no other
basis than what happened last year. And you want to re-
member that the percentage of dry holes in Stephens County
THIS year is to be considerably LESS because the dry terri-
tory has been pretty well marked out and determined
And the same statistics show that the average initial
production of every oil well that came in last year in Stephens
County was over -loO barrels a dav.
U the SQUARESHOOTER gets just average wells no
better or no orse than the average the Syndicate's net in-
come on the proposed organization would be $150 a day on
the interests contemplated or at the rate of $-1500 a month.
