January 25, 1902
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, New York, Jan. 25, 1902 Near the back is nice advertisement urging readers to: "Buy Chicago-Beaumont Oil Co's OIL STOCK With Six Gushers Guaranteed on our Famous Spindle Top Property. OIL INSIDE OF TWENTY DAYS..." with more text (see).
This ad appears just one year after the famous Spindletop oil strike in January which heralded the birth of the Texas oil industry. It would gush for eight days before it could be capped.
Sixteen pages, nice condition.
