Seven Producing Wells In Swastika Field
Chas e S Richardson and his father own the Swastika oil field where seven producing wells exist, with only two pumping as pipelines are unfinished. About a dozen more wells are drilling, two pipelines being built to Megargel for a refinery and to the Southern Railway for a loading rack.
