THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
SATt'UDAT. JAXCAitr M. I»«
f
FIRST GEORGIA OIL VWLL
NOW 200 FEET DEEP.
. r
WORD from our propertiea in Jefferson Count; i» to the
effect that work <>f drilling our ftrat well is progressing rapid-
idly and that a depth of 200 feet haa been reached. This
jaeana that our stock ia more valuable today than it haa ever
been and that it will.be more valuable tomorrow and each
anoeeeding day aa the drill penetratea deeper into the earth's
cruet aa .we are day by day (retting cloaer and cloaer to the oil
formatlon_and the treasure therein contained. —-—
At thia rate it will take a much shorter time to complete
the well than had been anticipated. We may be able to com
plete it in two weeks instead of three weeks. Furthermore, we
have uo.abaolnte knowledge.of the exact.depth- of the oil for
mation and instead of. its being found at 1,200 to 1,600 feet
we may strike 'it at, 700 to 800 feet. ,
No matter pt what depth, it is Rtnick, the stock of the com
pany will immediately be taken off the market as soon as oil ia
found and no more can be secured at any price thereafter ex-
cept by stockholders of record on that date. For thus.* whrt
help us dfevelop'thi* oil field we have pmvided'that they shall
be given the opportunity of bubscribing-foY additional amount
equal to their original holdings at such a price aa may be indi
cated frnti the result of bur development.
We will positively not sell a share of our stock
at any price to those who do not participate in the
development of our properties after the first oil is
struck.
We intend to make th« company a close concern after it
haa become a success and in thia manner prevent the Standard
Oil interests’ from gaining g;considerable holding in the com
pany or control of any of ita stock. We will do thia to protect
our stockholders who have assisted iiTthe developmentT)TTbiir
great oil fiqjd and who deserve to make all the profits that are
to be made.
Those who wish to have a hand in the development of a
Georgia oil field and reap the enormous profits that will he
sure to follow must secure their stock before our first oil well
ia completed. The greatest profits will be made by those who
purchase the stock at the lowest price at which it is offered
which is 25e per share (par value $1). The stock will posi
tively advance in price to 35 cents per share at midnight Jan.
31st, so that you now hnve but one week in which to pur
chase at the lowest level and get in on the ground floor.
Address THE GEORGIA PETROLEUM CO.,
WITHIN three weeks at the farthest you may expect
to read in the papers the announcement of the culmination of
the greatest industrial development ever undertaken in the
South. This will be when our first oil well is spouting the
high-grade crude petrolem from the deposit below, which ia
found coming to the surface in various places on our proper
ties and in their immediate vicinity. The oil is coming to the
.surface in varioos end those who have examined moat
closely into the matter all unite in saying that' there can
scarcely be any question that it must come from a vast store
below. Dozens of Georgians have made personal investigation*
of all our claims and the beat evidence of the conclusiveneas of
these indications of oil that we conld have is the fact that
not a single person who has been on our properties
to investigate our claims has failed to purchase a
block of our stock—those who have investiga
ted being among our largest stockholders.
* The first gush of oil will be the signal for the rise in the
value of our shares from 25 cents eaeh to something like $5
each. 'This may be expected in about three week*. Can yon
find anything else in which you can place your'money which
promises such great returns in so short a timef
REMEMBER you have a week to secure these shares at
the present low price. You must act quickly if you would
profit by this wonderful opportunity. All orders received up
to midnight Jan. 31st will be filled at 25 oenta per share—
after that it will be 35 cents, if you do not have the money
ready at hand send in your order «rid we wilt reserve the
stock for you until Feb. 1. Capital stock 500,000 shares, par
value $1.00 eaeh, full paid and non-aasesaable. Treasury stock
