1902106482<p>Rectangular 8vo 9½x5¼" pamphlet 1 11 leaves printed on rectos only original brown paper wrappers red ribbon tie at top. A little normal aging but otherwise near fine. This is an early Standard Oil piece that appears to be designed to promote the stock which according to this brochure consisted of only 2500000 shares. At the time of publication the par value was only $1 per share. The brochure discusses various oil field potential and on the inside back cover is a "no wild cat" illustration hyping the stock. This was printed well before the 1911 breakup of the company for violating the "Sherman Antitrust Act." A wonderful piece of corporate memorabilia. OCLC locates only a single copy at the University of Wyoming.</p> books
19091289Oakland 1909. About very good. Six pieces including three real photo postcards typed letter folding map and transmittal envelope. Light creasing to images; light tanning to letter and map. Interesting promotional material for the La Blanc Oil Company for their developments in the Sunset Oil Field in Kern County California in 1909. A folding plat map of the field near Maricopa southwest of Bakersfield shows La Blanc's holdings highlighted in red and a brief text touts the geographical relation to other producing wells. Also included is a typed progress report on the depth of drilling accomplished and the anticipated time before reaching the deposits which assures investors that "No doubt is expressed by any one of our ultimate success." The photo postcards show supposedly representative images of gushing oil pipes overflowing oil barrels and a very pleased group of men overseeing the scene. A nice group with the original transmittal envelope addressed to an Edgar Bonnemort of Oakland. unknown books
1918664Muskogee Ok 1918. Very good. 4pp. on a large bifolium. Previously folded. A couple of very minor losses at fold points. Light tanning. Scarce illustrated report from 1918 on the developments and production of the Oklahoma Oil Wells Company based in Muskogee Oklahoma. Much of the text is dedicated to an assessment of work completed on wells located at lease secured by the company near Sedan in Chautauqua County Kansas to which the majority of available funds was being directed. The progress of four wells is assessed and a report on construction and acquisition of other equipment necessary for the site is given. The production of other leases in Nowata and Muskogee Counties Oklahoma and Greenwood County Kansas is also discussed. The final page contains three photographic illustrations of a power plant and a well on the Sedan property as well as a lengthy exhortation to invest in Liberty Bonds to support the federal government's war effort as World War I continued through 1918. Also with a separate typed letter dated January 9 1917 soliciting investment from an Ohio resident. unknown books
1902370Chicago 1902. Very good. Folded broadsheet 28 x 18.75 inches with several photographic reproductions. A couple of small separations along folds. A very scarce promotional from the early Wyoming oil boom. The Chicago firm of Charles O. Richardson here urges potential investors to "Get in at Bed Rock" and in particular promotes Richardson's interests in the Spring Valley Wyoming oil fields. Both sides of the large broadsheet reproduce numerous newspaper articles reporting new oil strikes across the state most in the area of Evanston with the dates and locations of the articles added in manuscript. Serious efforts to find oil began in Wyoming after statehood in 1890 with the first major oil boom not hitting until 1908; the present broadsheet therefore represents a rare and fascinating advertisement for the early industry in the state. OCLC locates only three copies at Yale the University of Oklahoma and SMU. unknown books
