Quinton Little Builds Vast Pure Oil Royalty Block
Quinton Little, a 37-year-old lawyer turned oil man, built a 17,000 acre Pure Oil royalty block in the Marshall and Bryan counties. He assembled the lease starting March 13, 1938, expanding to 70 sections in under two years, with personal holdings of 40 sections. Royalties fetch 100 to 800 dollars locally. Little cites a cotton buyer’s hunch as his guiding method, studying markets through newspapers and radio. His family, including father J. W. Little and brother Reuel, also hold extensive holdings in the field.
