Louisiana oil boom linked to Baird Flannery deal activity
Shreveport reports cited by the El Paso Times describe large oil deals in Louisiana tied to George C. Baird and J. Rogers Flannery. A $2,000,000 sale sparked rumors of higher bids up to $5,000,000, with Flannery’s Homer pool acreage advised to be among the best in the field. The Standard Oil and Arkansas Natural Gas leases border the property, and production hinges on shipping capacity. A Sinclair Consolidated contract will boost daily output, while Henry K. Brown of Girard, Illinois visits Marshall.
