Wheat Guarantee Well Seeks Rapid Funds for Large Well
The Wheat Guarantee Well drive says money is coming in from many areas but not as fast as hoped. Wheat Morning told the Enterprise 1500 letters sent out earlier this week have yielded no reply yet, but he expects the needed capital to be raised quickly. The editor urges immediate participation, promising a one thousandth interest in the well and forty acres from Wheat, to spur local holdings near the Toyeh Belt well to fund the project. The piece also notes political alignment with Earl Mayfield and George Petty, and criticizes reckless driving by motorists in Lubbock, calling for a traffic cop on a fast motorcycle.
