TO THE PUBLIC: Acting on the advice of Mr, Julian C. Hyer, formerly of Aiken, son of Mr. W. C. Hyer, of Orangeburg, now a prominent attorney of Fort Worth, Texas, and who is intimately in touch with the ,oil and gas development ftf Northern Texas, the undersigned, “citizens of Aiken, invested in oil land leases in Archer, county, Texas, about four months ado. Advices from our investment were so encou-?ging and the advance in value of our properties proved so satisfactory that vve recently made a visit to the Texas oil fields, going personally on our lands. viewing”’the development in that section. We went through several of the proven oil fields near our lands, some of which have been developed to thg point of production for months past. We caw the oil be no pumped from the wells by power plants, carried by pipe lines into . refineries and thence to market. We also visited the new fields now in erocess of development and saw hun dreds of derricks over wells now being drilled and wells that have al ready “come in” with supplies of oil. * The Burke-Burnett field, with Us hundreds of wells the iowa Park de velopment the Desdamona, the Ranger, and dozens of other, fields where there is no longer question that oil exists in tremendous quantities, are all in the same general location as our Archer County lands. The en tire country in that section -would seem to be underlaid with oil and gas, and as we rode over the land we saw,hundreds, cf trucks, tractors and teams of every description, carrying machinery, implements and outfits from railroad to fiejd for the purpose of further development. Every body in that section of Texas, is bucy.enerqetic, fired with the spirit of work. There is every evidence of healthy tenterpriae and undoubted propriety. The banks are overflowing with deposits, hotels and boarding houses are filled with investors from every part of the country, and every body is enthusiastic over the prospects of making big money out of oil. As to our own properties, we have opportunities , to sell at figures many times over what we paid. We are holding, however, in the confi dent expectation that these properties will be mudh more valuable, and also with the expectation of drilling. The prospects for striking oil on these lands is exceedingly bright. There are producing wells within a mile of us. We desire to be thoroughly understood as not stating, however, that one cannot lose through investment in Texas oil lands and leases, for one* can lose. But as an investment, there is offered excellent opportunity for large profits. Since there is undoubtedly an element of speculation, we would advise no one to cripple himself in investing in oil deveiopment, whether in our company or some other. But if it is desired to invest, only such moneys as one can afford to invest, without being seriously hurt if losses should result should be staked on the enterprise. There is this always to be kept in view—when an oil development comes in success fully the investors reap rich rewards. As the result of our visit to Texas, knowing as we do that the great oil developmMit i s still in its infancy, though growing by leaps and bounds, we have concluded that a great deal of money should be made by investment throughout the section in which our lands are located, even if we should not actually strike oil, we are organizing the Carolina-Texas Oil & Development Co., with a proposed capital stock of $190,000, share $25 00 each, non-assessable, and with the right to increase our capital to $20Q,000. With this capital we propose to buy additional leases and to engage in development work in the hope and firm conviction that a lot of money should be made for our stockholders. The active management of the company will be under the personal direction of our selves, with our cp-workers in Texas, with whom we are :n intimate touch and associa- tum. We expect to spend much of our time on the fields anfl will leave for Texas again within the next few weeks. Mr. William E. Hughes, President of the Hughes Well Drilling Co., of Charleston who accompanied us to Texas, will be among the company’s directorate. • We invite subscriptions from those who s eek an investment which promises to pay handsomely, but with the request that only ouch amounts be invested as the eu'oscribers can afford, and with the further stipula tion that no subscriptions wi(l be accepted from widows or orphans l Very respectfully, , ~ ’ HERBERT E. GYLES. ijit. J. M. HOLLEY. ' Z G. BHULFlt-/ :. Aiken 3 y » O. Is. THIS MAY BE OPPORTUNITY TAPPING AT THE DOOR There is money in Oil. N 0 need dwelling on the big bonanzas others have struck. Perhaps you have thoVight of letting your money work for you in the Texas Oil Fields. Perhaps you have hesi tated because of wildcat speculators invading the field with stock-selling schemes in which you could plac% no confidence. But as a legitimate speculation, the CAROLINA-TEXAS OIL & DEVELOPMENT CO. (INCORPORATED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA) % offers for^ your consideration the chance to get in on the ground floor in the development program al ready begun by its incorporators In Northeast Texas. We promise no fabulous dividends—we sell no stock at a difhe, a share—we till.you frankly all oil land development enterprises are speculative—we do not advise any person to invest who cannot afford to tie up the amount of their stock subscriptions on the chance of it bringing in big returns— we accept n© subscriptions from dependent widowsor orphans. But with wonderful opportunities before us^—with land holdings in the oil regions of Texas which have already doubled in market value half a dozen times during the past six months—with flowing wells in a mile of our holdings and on every side of our Texas lands—and negotiating now for additional acreages—we have every reason to believe— and we do believe—that our stockholders will profit largely by our operations feven if we should never strike oil. ( Oil Wells Are Speculation—Oil Land Leases Are Investment We have gotten ahead of the well drillers in Texas and intend to keep ahead. Land values are jumping up overnight. Our representatives are on the field in TeYao and we are constantly adding to our holdings. We shall maintain offices in Fort Worth as well as in South Carolina, our home'office for the present being at Aiken, in this state. _ , Expert Opinion is That Oil Underlies Our Lands To finance the proper deveh pment of these properties and to buy additional land leases we are of fering the shares of our company to the business and professional people of the Carolinas And Georgia at the same time inviting the most rigid investigation of our organization and the t»crsonnei_of the of ficers and directors. ^ ‘Authorized Capital $100,000.00.
