$700,000,000 CAPITAL EMPLOYED
Nashville, Tenn.
State of Tennessee,
County of Davidson,
Personally appeared before me a Notary Public for an in said
state and county as shown above, Mr. H. P. Salter [
2903] of
the George Bennie Mfg. Co. who upon being duly sworn states
that he is personally acquainted with Mr. Edgar Cayce of
Selma Ala. and Mr. David E. Kahn of Lexington Ky. and that
upon their recent trip to Nashville Tenn. they gave me the
following readings with results as will be shown.
That he owned two hundred units of stock in the
Pritchett-Thomas Oil Co's William Walters lease [3777-5] at
Bowling Green where they were drilling for oil and that said
readings advised no oil in paying quantities would be found
where drilling although drilling was near producing well on
adjoining property and although the well has been drilled out
it has turned out just as Mr. Cayce said it would and against
the expectations of the entire Company.
Again said Salter and friend Williams thought there might be
oil on Tennessee land [
3777-6] that might be produced cheap
and Mr. Cayce's reading in giving the location of oil on the
property gave locations of buildings, lots, a broken down
gate, ravines and other data in saying just where the wells
should be put down to get oil in quantity that only one who
was familiar with the place could have told. Mr. Williams
thought he must have been reading his mind but for data given
that Mr. Williams did not know of until he later made a trip
and found conditions as Mr. Cayce had described. Mr. Cayce
had never been within a hundred miles of the property.
Mr. Cayce gave a reading on Mr. Salter's wife and not only
described her condition and treatment but said where she
should go for treatment, - Still Hildreth Osteopathic
Sanatarium at Macon Mo. and it is his understanding that even
Mr. Cayce did not know the name of such institution until the
matter was later investigated.
Mr. Salter has known Mr. Cayce for the past 18 or 20 years
and not only considers him to be a a man of most wonderful
powers but a gentleman of the highest integrity.
