Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Daniel Plainview. When I'm here tonight to talk about your oil, how best to drill it and get it out of the ground. Now, my surveyors contend that there's an ocean of oil here beneath our feet right now. Now, drilling is very expensive and it takes a man with considerable resource Is experience in capital to drill effectively. I currently have five wells producing in this county. Bring in roughly $5000 a week each. In De Jason County, I have another four wells bringing in the same amount weekly. Unlike my competitors, standard oil and others, mine is very much a family business. I run it with my son and partner, H W whom some of you have already met. I encourage my men to bring their families along to the work site as well. We consistently set up a whole town with schools and facilities for my workers and their families every single time. Because, like I said, I'm a family man as well as an oilman. Now, you're welcome to explore other offers. But mark my words, no one can drill this land as effectively as I can. Because I ladies and gentlemen, I'm an oil man through and through. Thank you for your kind Attention.
