He should demand all the news, he should demand it while it is new, he should demand that it be accurate and un tinged by personal or corpor ation prejudice, and, if his time be really valuable, he should demand that the news be presented in a form mak ing it easily found and read the particular news in which he is interested. The Oil Weekly, with the largest editorial staff of any oil publication in the world, has dedicated itself to the task of fulfilling these four major requirements. You will find nothing sen sational about The Oil Weekly but you will find much that is unusual and much that will commend it to. you as a real oil paper for real oil men. Drilling costs in various fields from West Columbia, Texas, to Wyoming together with specifications for rotary, standard and combination tools with esti mates as to costs, etc. These figures arc compiled from actual records and can reasonably be made the basis of operations in the fields covered. That Mexico bought her oil from the United States and that this year Mexico will export close to 200, 000,000 barrels nearly two-thirds of the total pro duction of the United States, are some of the facts brought out in a review of Mexico, her past and present, giving geological as well as production in formation. Russia the land of possibilities an article giving the technical points as well as the commonplace points of interest in oil production in Russia. Refineries of the United States what is their ca pacity and where they are form a very valuable part of the Statistical Edition. The list of refineries printed therein is presented after six months spent on their compilation and is the most complete ever published. Tank Strapping a practical, technical article that tells the how, not the why, if tank measuring. It contains data and tables for. the strapping of any thing from a 100-barrel fuel tank to an earthen pit. One hundred thousand barrels per acre that is the recovery average of a number of Gulf Coast fields.' The recovery of coast fields as compared with other fields, makes a remarkable story.
