Notes
Text : FOREWORD . This booklet is intended to give the reader a practical pictorial history of the development of probably the greatest oil field in the World . The statistics relative to the initial production of various wells pictured , as well as values wherever mentioned , have been secured from sources that we believe to be reliable , but are not guaranteed . The principal point with which we desire to impress the Reader , is the fact that this enormous development which has taken place in such a comparatively short space of time , has not been brought about by the fortune hunter , but mainly by the concentrated capital of the largest oil producing companies in this Country . The fact that these enormous expenditures are being made by the largest and most highly organized oil producing companies , indicates that the industry at this point is destined to be long-lived . Sincerely , PRODUCERS DEVELOPMENT COMPANY . Huntington , West Virginia . Handwritten note : D.S . Walker . 294 . Degolyer property stamp
