The Noco company was only organized recently, but is showing much activity already. Its stockholders largely are National Oil Company stockholders, the same men who are managing the National being in charge of the Noco’s affairs. The company was organized princijally to con struct and operate pipe lines, storage tanks, etc., and it is now announced the company intends to begin work at once on a new pipe line frpm theA-1 field in Butler county, Kans., to Atlanta, Kans.

It mil be the purpose of the NOCO to quickly equip itself for the handling of large quantities of this production, and on which they expect to realize large profits. It is not the purpose* of the company to enter into the produc ing of the oil businena to any great extent for the present, but will confine its operations largely to the purchase, transportation and storage end of the business. However, some leases will be acquired in likely territory where the prospect for the o|H*ninjr up of new fields are beat, and in territories which it proposes to reach w r ith its pipe lines. DIVIDENDS. As the company is young and starting off wholly without assets, except money paid in by stockholders for its stock, it is impossible to set any*date on which the company w ill begin the payment of dividends, but it is the 'purpose of the company’s directors to place it on a dividend basis just as quickly as its earnings will justify. The company’s plans having been thoroughly and completely worked out, it w'ill not be difficult to act quickly on many of the plans heretofore mentioned, and if those plans can be carried out as promptly as is expected, it is reason able to assume that the company may be placed on a dividend paying basis at no far distant date XJAQ par tiat ‘ r -411 -BUSINESS ORGANIZATION. The stock of the NOCO PETROLEUM COMPANY can not be classed as a speculation as is usually the case with most^new companies. It begins with a large cash capital and w r itho6t obligations, and the larger portion of its capi tal will be immediately invested in raw material such as casing, tank ears, pipe and pipe lines, storage tanks, etc., which material’will be bought at the lowest wholesale prices direct from the mills and manufacturers, and when Thm. by cMurtifi* a *20 prr cent <neHiA*d And opr rating a 5 prr cent, drprvciatk*! charge (rum II.UM.OUO, we hnve left $891,000, net prr year ur $74,250 per mile per yeAr. net.

The co*t of constructing the above mentioned lines, together with pumping stations situated every 50 miles apart, will vary from $15,000 to $20,000 a mile. “ To further facilitate the handling of the production carried by this pipe line, it will be necessary’ for the company to own and operate a fleet of from 100 to 500 tank cars, having a carrying capacity of from 180 to 300 barrels each day in the year. The cars so operated by this company, I find, upon investigation, will travel 25 miles per day under ordinary freight movement. The railroad companies will pay to the owners of these cars one cent per mile for every mile traveled, both loaded and empty. The ap proximate cost of these tank cars is 3,000 per car. I find that cost of maintenance, repairs, etc., average approximately $50 per 1'»*?1mOUAjU ltJRi4tt»ULV4l 4 A kU V k M 7i!cTm*"*S^mgTAW!99iY l jr“ , YwY i A^ , ‘ mi»iwT if. 1 IMMEDIATE return to ith UandiriA. combining TRANSPORTATION.
