I have been fortunate enotigh to secure an option on 6B acres of 

 potentially invalualDle oil lands, a direct offset to the lease on which 

 the well of the Southern States Lease arid Production Company is located. 

 Our lease is very close to the Southern States derrick. The saiallest 

 kind of a wall here would make our lease invaluahle , absolutely so. 

 They are going to get a well. The "best geological advice has rscommend- 

 i3d thia arid we surely have a V7inner here. It looks awfully good for a 

 big clean-up. 



The Dean Club has been divided into nine hundred and seventy inter- 



asts or memberships at five dollars each, and I am offering you one or 

 more, no raor^ than ten, to secure just enough to finish paying for this 

 lease. Bstter still, jtist take a couple yourself, and have each member 

 of your family whose name end- with Dean take two. It may be the means 

 of providing the business or college education yoi^r son or datighter 

 wants. It may be the means of providing this or that, luxury you have 

 long wanted but felt unable to afforfl. Hare is where a five dollar bill 

 will do B(.^me resl work for you. We should win htindreds and maybe thou- 

 sands. The probabilities are that we will. 



The tnily big money in the oil biisiness is made in leases. I have 

 ?,ncn men make almost unbelievable sums of money cn smaller leases than 

 the ore we have. With your help I am after some of this big money. 

 Should this lease prove all expected cf it, It can be sold for hundreds 

 of thousands of dollars. 



IToi? Kr. Dnan, when you come in on this you will not receive any 

 highly decorated, fancy certificate rhowing joxxr interest in this lease. 

 You will receive a typewritten piece rf paper showing how many interests 

 or memberships at five dollars each you own in this lease. I don't have 

 any money for good looking ".■[^old" certificate;--. This is all being done 

 ju.!?t as cheaply as possible, and it is being done on the square. Your 

 name I |?;ob out of a directory. I would not appeal to you if we did not 

 hav'-" a fine chance to win and I will •rladly give jov. any number of refer- 

 ences as to my honesty. I am honest, and will give you fair play. 



There is no order or application blank with this. Just send ire as 

 msny fi^^r* dollar bills or check therefore, as you feel able to afford. 



p.iir'; your name and address is in the letter so that I may acknowledge 

 receipt i->f it promptly. This is the best ch^ince I have ever seen. It 

 sure looks good. M-^,?.lions n,re being made right along in the great Texas 

 Oil Fields. Here's where the Deans get their share. Send me your re- 

 mit i-ance for several int^^reats. You v/on't regret it! We are going to 

 win! Use the first mall. These Interests should not last long. 



Counting on your joining mn, and looking forward to your responf^e 

 by return mails I beg to remain, 



Yours very truly 



THE DBAN OLUB
