Safeguarding the
Safest Investment
It la a Generally recognised fact thut
first mortgages arc the safest lovestmcnl
In the world We would like to send you
our new booklet ti lling of the many saf*
guards we hav? placed around OUR first
mortgage si* per c*nt note*. which w? be
lieve make security doubly aecurs and
which constitute the chief reasons for our
racord of fifty years without loss to an
Investor.
SWARTZELL, RHEEM &

?JI 16th 8t. N. w.
this is hot an investment?but
a speculation pure and simple
? . ; , x <y.
It is the kind of speculation that will pay big returns if successful. On the other hand, it will
mean a total loss if unsuccessful.
Did it ever occur to you what the discovery of an oil field in Maryland would mean to Wash
ington? Can you visualize the untold millions of dollars that would be spent in our business houses
and how each one of us would irt turn be benefited?

What the Scientists Say
f *??*' ' _
Dr. Otis Smith, director of the U. S. Geological Survey, says oil will "almost certainly notV, fyc found out
here.
President of the Maryland Academy of Sciences, Dr. A. B. Bibbins, of Baltimore, our consulting geologist,
says the '^conditions warrant a thorough testing by the drill."
Dr. Francis C. Nicholas, former geologist for a number of the country's large oil companies, looked over
our property and s'ays: "drill, and do it quick."
Mr. Olander, Oil Scientist, says he never found surface indications better in any of the oil fields he has
investigated.
Mr. Robinson White, practical oil geologist, says he is convinced oil will be found out here, but not under
3,000 feet.
Dr. David White, Chief Geologist, U. S. Geological Survey, says "there is no inherent reason why oil anj
gas should not be found?
We don't know who is right, but we intend to find out. For that purpose^we've organized a drilling
company and as soon as we have money enough we're going to buy a rig, bring on some trained drillers from
Texas, and get busy.
We invite you to join us if you can afford to speculate. If we lose?we lose, that's all. If we win?well,
that ,is something you can figure out for yourself.
We have leased 500 acres out in Prince Georges County, Md., and as soon as the geologists have finished
making their surveys we will anijpunce our first drilling location.
Stock $1.00 Per Share
We are offering stock now at $ 1.00 per share and it can be purchased in lots of from S 10 to $2,500.
We limit the maximum subscription because that's enough for anybody to lose, and w ould make the holder a
fortune if Ave find oil or gas.
There is nothing secret about our company?our Inoks are wide open for inspection by any stockholder at
any time. It's a sort ot club all air with no personal liability for anybody.
We want you to feel that our office is "your" oflice. Come in whenever you can and chat with us.
We're "at home" every day from 9 A. M. to 10 P. M. except Sunday.
Mr. Traver, our president, is a practical oil man with some 20 years experience in the business. Mr.
Hopkins, one of our directors, spent a number of years in the Ohio. Illinois, and West Virginia fields. Both of
these men believe there is oil in Maryland?how much, they don't attempt to predict.
Our officers and directors are all well known Washington business men, who (with the exception of Mr.
Traver and Mr. Hopkins), know nothing about oil. They were selected to insure a clean, honest, energetic at
tempt to find oil or gas if possible.
An Explanation?and Apology
We want t<? thank those sporting-blooded folks who have already sent their checks in and become mem
bers of the "S-M-O-C-O CI.UB," and apologize to those who sent in the coupons and have not yet received a
call from one of our representatives. We have been literally "swamped" for a couple of days and since we kre
trving to keep selling expense at a minimum, we haven't enough salesmen to go 'round. Just " 'bide with us a
bit" and in the meantime tell vour friends to send in their checks for the amount they can spccu!?.t<* with and their
stock certificate will be mailed immediately.
You might also suggest that if they want to know more about us before buying stock to call and >ec us, or
fill in the coupon below and mail to
