Practically all of the oil wells in the Beaumont, Texas field were 

 sunk by our machines many of them at the rate of 1.000 feet a 

 day after a half a dozen other makes of machines had been 

 thoroly tried and did not succeed in putting down a single well 

 in the caving quicksands encountered in that locality.
