In order that the public in general might know that Chickasha is
to havea Refinery, and understand the plans of the
Company, we use this method to get before the people
STATEMENT
Some months ago a Company was organized in
Chickasha, known as the Chickasha Refining Com
pany, whose object was to install an oil Refinery at
this place. A plant site of 18 acres was purchased
adjoining the City of Chickasha on the north, just off
the Rock Island right-of-way; a switch was put in;
cottages were built for the Superintendent and Fore
man; a store room was erected and several thousand
dollars worth of material was purchased, but at this
stage of the procedure, misunderstandings arose and
operations ceased.
NEW COMPANY
On June 27, 1919, the Walker Refining Company
was organized and chartered under the laws of Okla
homa and succeeded the former organization.
The organizers of the new company, were Alex
Walker, Lawton; J. E. Lawhead, Oklahoma City; C. H.
Barnes, Hennessey; Geo. A. Todd, Oklahoma City.
OFFICERS
The present, officers of the Company are: Alex
Walker, President; J. E. Lawhead, Vice President; C.
H. Barnes, Secretary -Treasurer; Geo. A. Todd,
Director.
Mr. Walker, President of the Company, is well
known to many business men of Chickasha and Grady
County, and they know him to be a man of safe, sound
business judgment and" absolutely reliable. He owns
a valuable 1,000-acre farm near Chickasha and is a
successful miller of Lawton.
Mr. Lawhead, Vice President and promoter of the
Company, is a man of wide experience in the oil and
refinery business.
Mr. Barnes, Secretary-Treasurer, has oil interests
and has held positions of responsibility with the gov
ernment. Mr. Todd, Director, is known over many states for
the success he has made in the refinery business, and
at present he is installing one of the largest plants of
the south, at Vivian, La.
With this line up of officials, including another
Director which is to be chosen, the stockholders may
rest assured that their interests will be carefully
guarded.
PLANS
We have been greatly and unavoidably delayed,
for some weeks, but are glad to notify the public, that
"we are ready to offer a $75,000 block of stock for sale,
in order that the plant may be rushed to completion
and put into operation.
It is the plan of the Company to install a 1,000-bar-rel
plant at the earliest possible date, using Garber
crude. When justifiable, the plant will be increased
to a 2,000-barrel capacity. It is also the. aim of the
Company to lay a pipe line to the Cement field as
soon as the production will justify the project.
STOCK
The par value of the stock is $1.00 per share, and
this issue of $75,000 will be sold at par. Some of the
best men of Chickasha, Lawton and Grady county are
.stockholders. No investment is too small to receive
courteous attention, and none too large as long as the
stock lasts.
CONSIDER
A Refinery is a valuable asset to the City of Chick
' asha and Grady Count, and an investment will prove a
valuable asset to your income.
This plant will be a home institution and you can
watch its'activity day after day. It will be per
manent. As a public enterprise and for the good of Chicka
sha and surrounding country, support it. If you want
your money to earn dividends for you, buy stock.
A plant that is run and managed right is bound to
yield splendid returns, there is no other alternative.
The little plant at Lawton, whom you all know, prac
tically paid for itself in the first GO days after begin
ning operations.
REMEMBER a Refinery has no DRY HOLES to
contend with, but instead, has an ever increasing de
mand for its products. Turn out the goods and your
dividends will pile up.
We expect to push the enterprise with all our en
ergy and we need your co-operation and you need a
safe investment. Let us work together for the mutual
benefit of each.- You buy the stock and we will make
you the money.
Call at our office, or call us by phone and we will
come and go over the proposition in detail if you
desire.
No one is eliminated whether your investment is
small or great.
REMEMBER first, last and all the time, that the
Refinery end of the oil game is the safe proposition.
