In tendering this, our prospec tus, we wish to avoid flowery, deceptive language, and to set forth in detail a few simple, plain facts, briefly stating what we ha- e done, where we have opera ted and what we propose to do. The Prairie Mamou Oil & Min eral Co. L't'd, domiciled at Jen nings, Calcasieu parish, La. is a duly organized and chartered company, capitalized at $200,000. Captain D. E. Sweet, president of the Jennings Banking & Trust Co., a man of unquestionable in tegrity and pronounced busi ness success, is president of this company. From the organization of this Company it has been the purpose to select small plots of really oil lands throughout the oil belt of Calcasieu parish, ignoring in a measure large bodies of indiffer ent lands without promise, upon which leases could be procured at nominal figures. Following up this idea they have purchased, First.-Twenty acres near the Hackberry well that is full of promise, the well being down near 1,000 feet, with every indi cation of success. The stock of this well is now at par value. A peculiar feature character izing this well,which lies thirteen miles southeast of Sulphur Mines is, that before the diy when sul phur was extracted by bewat a spring at Llackberry flowed very cold water, which today is almost as hot as hot c',ffee. We also purchased five acres near the Vinton wells which have struck several stratas of oil, published to the world. THE. SOUTHERN OIL COMP'NY. Will begin drilling at once on our 100-acre tract adjoining the Jennings well. Pipe and machinery are here. C E Jones, an experi enced driller, who has brought in four gush ers on the Beaumont Spindletop, has con tracted to put down two wells for us. The Company has afine large list of holdings, consisting of 506 acres atdifferentpoints near and adjoining the Jennings well. The Mamou Prairie tracts owned by the company is one of the best in that splendid field. Work will commence on this tract very shortly and investors will do well to secul o stock before an advance is made. 15,000 Shares Only of a par value of $1 Will be Sold at 50c Each. They are going rapidly and the issue will soon be sold. The officers of the company will assure the most careful management. Southern Oil Company. Capital Stock, $500,000. JENNINGS, LOUISIANA.

Second.--Finding unparalleled gas and oil indications on Bayou Blue, about fifteen miles north of Jennings, we purchased Bayou Blue Springs, covering a hill of about five arcres on Bayou Blue. We also have forty acres three miles north of the Jennings Oil Well, where gas and oil abound and upon which it was at first intended to sink a well. But the climax was struck when after much labor and time had been spent, ANSSE A. LA BU'ITE,the SPINDLE TOP of Mamou Prairie was secured, and this is a real Spindle Topinevery sense. This six acres lies within a mile of Bayou Cane, tributary of Mer mentau river and just north of Mermentau station where the Southern Pacific railway crosses the Mermentau river, giving easy and cheap access to an out let to market. This is where the Prairie Mamou Oil & Mineral Co., L't'd will within the next 30 dlays be gin to sink a well with the prom ise in advance of a gusher. It is about one-fourth of a mile south east of the noted gushing well of the Jennings Oil Co. We intend to bore our second well on Bayou Blue. We have leases upon several hundred acres of lands on which we would bore in event others see fit to develop any adjacent thereto and meet success. The Company will offer 50,000 shares for sale at 50 cents per share for a short time. Par val ue of shares one dollar each. We would much prefer to sell these shares to home people.

A great many merchants cut down their advertising in the Summer. Some even stop it altogether. . In everyday life, when a thing is hard to do, it only calls forth greater effort. If the laborer can't move the stone, he gets a crowbar and a block of wood. He makes a lever-and the stone moves. If the crowbar isn't long enough he gets something longer. He doesn't give up-because the stone has got to be moved. Same way in business. Trade is a stone. The funny thing is that the lighter it gets the harder it is to move. It can be moved, though. You may have to have the lever lengthened. Certainly you ought pot to shorten it. The best busi hess lever is advertising newspaper advertising is the longest lever and the quick est to move trade. Dull times are the times to put forth the greatest ha uae a rtsiess Irri ad. vurnt'.' effort and the most money. People don't usually ask for what they have' already. Advertising is merely asking for trade. When the store is full every day, cut down your space. When trade is slack increase your space. Don't expect that you will get a big trade in dull times, but keep count and you will find that the advertising is profitable. Profitable right at the time and enormously profitable after awhile. The very fact that only a few merchants are wise enough to advertise in dull seasons makes it all the more profitable for those who do. You are there when others are not. It gives you greater prominence. It will make your advertising in busy times much more effective. Common sense has a great deal to do with advertising. Think about it from a common-sense standpoint. It may take some "nerve" to pay out money for newspaper space when the business isn't paying expenses, but it will pay. More than half the business houses in the country would be ahead if they could shut up for three months in the Summer. But they don't do it. Why? SSimply because they can't Rffordto. Peo-. pie would forget them. Same way in advertising. Think about it. - ·Y~·*nrresa ~ne re s." cu.asu Q .~rtr . .se Bs meu
