AN ELEGANT RESORT
Where The Society People OF Ard
more Gam Spend Their Evenings.

That this city is leading the van
guard of the Indian Territory in new
enterprises and improvements there
can be no doubt, and one of the most
conspicuous proofs of this fact is to
be found in the opening of the above
resort by Messrs. John O'Meally and
Bud Conlee, both we'll and favorably
known citizens of Ardnore.
Their place of business is next door
to the postOfice, on Main street, in the
handsome aud commodious brick
block recently completed for johnson,
Cruce & Cruce.
The new enterprise consists of the
most elegant confectionery and cream
parlors ever opened north of Dallas
and south of Kansas City, and would
indeed, be credit to a city of 1O0,-
900 people. From the street entrance
the visitor is u-hered into the cun-
fec;ionery departm ,at, which is
splendidly furnished with antique
oak fixtures, marble top counters and
latest improved tufts soda fountain,
with bevsled plate panel mirrors on
, the side, which alone cost over 5 900.
This department is devoIcd to select
cOniections and candies, fresh fruits,
nuts and fine cigars, and comprises
the best assorted and finest selection
ever shipped Into this country. The
fountain is presided over by the
genial BOZ Nichols, he of the angelic
smile, who is delighted to dispense
summer drinks to his own best girl
as we'll as the best girl OF the other
fellows.
Next to the confectionery are the
cream parlOrs, entrance into which is
made through a huge ornamental
arch. This room is elegantly furnish
ed with marble top tables, oak chairs
and an elegant hall rack with beVeled
plate mirror 20x4O, the walls hand
soulely decorated with artistic steel
engravings. Each side is also furnish
ed with costly six foot beVel plate
mirrors. The floor is covered with
cool and healthful imported mating
and all in all the rooms form an ideal
place to willie away a summer even
ing.
In the rear of the parlors are the
kitchen and cream room aud the en-
gine and boiler house, while below
the kitchen large cellar has been
prepared for the preservation of
fruits.
The culinary and cream depart-
ments are in charge of Louie NiVoche,
than whom no better selection could
possibly have been made.
| Special attention will be paid to
serving evening parties, large or
small and NO fears need be enter
tanned of ladies or gentlemen coming
in contact with rough characters
while visiting this place.
An effort will be made to secure
only the best trade OF the city and
Objectionable parties will not be
served under any circumstances.
All the delicaces OF the season in
the way OF fresh fruits and nuts Will
be kept constantly ia stock, and moth
ing but strictly first class goods will
be handled.
Perhaps The most important feature
of this place is the system Of rotary
fans, which are kept in rapid motion
throughout the eRtire building aud
render the rooms as cool as q refrig-
orator. These are run by steam, q five
horse power engine and boiler fur
nishing the power for them and also
tor the cream freezers.
This placeis certainly model re-
sort, well worthy the patronage of
our people, and with such well known
gentlemen aa Meesra Lt'Meally & Con-
lee for proprietors the suceess Of the
place in assured
