If you do this, then there can be only one answer August 28 Ever Turn a Hole Inside Out? Globe Theater DREW, MISS. fj ffiW jh jet-streamed new wonacrccrrf Gulf does that, figuratively, with every well it drills in Mississippi. Probing deep in the earth with sensitive instruments, skilled scientists in Gulf's Mississippi laboratories can "read" the inside of a hole 5,000 feet below the surface almost as well as if the hole could be turned "inside out" and laid along the earth for all to see. Even a dry hole yields information.

Gulf has drilled 126 dry holes in Mississippi, each one costing $50,000 to $200,000. But from them Gulf scientists have obtained information which has proved useful in other drilling operations, sometimes many miles away. But dry holes don't produce job opportunities and the advantages of good living for Mississippians. Gulfs $75,000,000 investment in the state and its 301 producing wells are doing that. Confidence and faith in Mississippi and its future keeps the work going, as Gulf Mississippi family of over 7,000 field and ofBce workers, scientists, land and royalty owners and independent station operators and their employees join with other Mississippi citizens in enjoyment of a better, more prosperous life through development of Mississippi's natural resources.
