their feelings Of gratitude to those
Of the craft throughout the terri
tory and the country generally,
who have 10y expressions given ev-

DoN'T you all remember that
the ARDMoREITE has during the
past eighteen months advocated
and urged the importance of fire
company and the means with
which to combat the flames. Had
those elements of protection been
at hand on the morning of April
10, Main street would not today
have been strewn on either side
with blackened masses of ruins.

to temporarily abandon our daily
visits to Ardmore's homes. We
feel as though the ordeal through
which we have just passed has put
us in closer touch with our pa
irons. We, through your many
expressions of regret at our loss,
have had our faith strengthened IN
your appreciation of the ARDMoRE-
TIE as a part and parcel of our be-
loved but unfortunate city and
that you will continue to give Us
the support which, in your judg-
ment, we merit.
In the future, as in the past we
shall give our utmost endeavor and
whatever ability we may possess
to the one task of making the
ARDMoREITE a true representative
of the city's interests, and an ad-
vocate of building up that whici

In these efforts we ask and eXpcc
