". ' " ' .'."'.". r LOUISVILLE, KY. ,-.... . v.-'v: GENTLEMEN: ' I have read and carefully considered your stock offer. I looked over the oil' field in Allen', Barren and Warren counties a few months ago and am .somewhat familiar with the locality of your leases. I have confidence in that section and believe that many paying oil wells may be expected in the vicinity of your leases this year, and you seem to have as good a chance for success as others. Your small capitalization and terms of stock selling really give' purchasers a fair and even. chance to share in whatever success you may have". I consider your proposition a fair one, offering better value simply on present worth of leases, than most any other company, and bes have the advantage of increased value that comes with- development subscription for 100 shares and may want more soon. , .
