] FACTS 70 STUDY.

the ARDMOREITE extends its thanks
to IFS many friends for patronage
during the year just closed, and
wishes one and all happy. pros
perous new year.
The closing year Of the century
finds the ARDAoRElTE in better
shape to cover its field of useful
ness than it has ever been before,
and as an advertising medium, il
certainly offersmore in return for
money expended, than any other
paper in the Caickasaw nation.
A fegf6re which makes its ad-
yertisfng space so valuable to the
merchant and business man is,
that every subscription on its list
is paid for in advance, which as
spres the advertiser that the paper
will be read in every household
where it is received. When the
fact is considered, that these paid
up subscriptions represent daily
visit to 1900 homes, and a weekly
visit to over 5000 homes of every
ad appearing in the DAILY and
WEEKLY AREaoREITE, the excel
lence of its advertising service car
be more fully appreciated.
In order to do the work which
the constant growth of the ARD
MoREITE. during the past two
years, has entailed, the Office force
has been increased from five tt
twenty employees, and the new ma
chinery and material which hai
been added, represents cash out
lay of $1,000, so that the ARD
MORETrE, in a little over two
years, has increased in value OIL
actual investment, from $4,000 t,
about $40. 900.
This phenomenal growth show
the value of the good will whicI
the ARDMOREITE has commando
under the present management, a
well as the result of earnest, IN
ceasing work in our field of labor
To the people who have enable
this development by their libers
patronage. the management e2
tends thanks, and solicits a col
tinuance of same during the pre-:
ent year.
| The rate at which subscription
are coming in iustifes the belle
| that the value of advertising in th
ARDMoREITE will be greatly il
creased during the year. The aN
erage of subscription receipts o
the weekly alone, for the month {
December. was over 100, the SCI
ond week in that month breakin
the record with list of $50.
These facts are presented for I'll
purpose of impressing upon ii
advertiser the extent of trade tel
ritory tributary to Ardmore, whic
is reached through the columns {
the ARDMOREITE. If this purpos
ID accomplished, ssthis article wi

sented.
/ In addition to the news depar
ment, the ARDMoREITE is bette
equipped for executing job wor
than it has eyer been, and its jo
stock is now the most complet
ever brought to Ardmore.

old year. and of the friends who's
patronage made it prosperous or
for the ARDMoREITE, we turn OF
attention to the responsibilities {
