Quite an interesting story to the Springfieldians of a later day comes out of Oklahoma City. It concerns the sons of the late G. A. Ramsey. Walter R. and W. E. Ramsey, presi- dent and vice president. respective- ly. and principal stockholders of Ramsey Petroleum corporation, have just made the fourth ofl sale for more than a million dollars. Bince December, 1928, they have completed four big deals totaling about 10 mil- lion dollars.
The Ramseys have spent the last 15 years in off. entering the bust- ness from banking in Ardmore and Gainesville, Texas. They made good as bankers.
The Ramseys prefer to play an aren before the first strike is made. They have followed this rule and find it profitable to scu out early or while the pool is.being developed
Mid-Kansas ' Oul' and Gas com- pany, subsidiary of Ohio Oil com- pany. has given . flum . more than five million dollars in cash and promises to give them three million dollars in oil to be produced from lands it has bought of the brothers.
The Mid-Kansas bought a 291- acre lease from them early in the year, and the Fortson lease. In the west half of the northeast quarter of section 21-11-3w. north of the discovery 160 acres in the Okla- homa City field has already proven that the Mid-Kansas made a good buy. It cost around two million dollars .
The Ramary's have not quit, but sull have 30,000 acres of leases In -
the Oklahoma City area, and W. R. Ramsey forecasts the opening of new oil pools in the future on the Ram- sey acreage.
W. R. Ramsey was in Springfield about' two months ago and called on many of his old time friends. He said he was doing very well in Okia- homa and ' was interested in som legal control of oil in order to con- serve it and to steady the price. G. A. Ramsey,"father of the two young meb was'for years "a" busty ness man on Commercial alreet but did not make. a large fortune. The boys were given fatherly care, a good education but had to make their way in business which they have more than done. G. A. Ramsey was about a quarter of a century ago secretary of the Springfield club, which has ance passed out of existence.
1 While here this aummer young Mr. Ramsey told of meeting Henry L. Doherty In Ban Francisco. MT.
-
Doherty was in a hotel and ex- cluded visitors on the doctor's orders only recently having been ! : released from a hospital. Thic } doctor protested when Mr Ramsey was admitted. Mr. Ramisy said Doherty was greatly interested in the Ozarks and Springfield and : asked many questions about this section
