Weekly ARDMOREITE has decided
to issue a Christmas number of
the paper. That means that no
expenses will be spared to make it
success from every standpoint
and credit to Ardmore. 1t fur
ther means that the merchants who
the ARDMOREITE has so faithfully
served during the past year, and
yet received but little advertising
patronage from, will be asked, and
their patronage expected to help
make this paper what it should
and will be.
Every merchant who spends a
dollar with this issue of the ARD
MOREITE will receive two dollars in
return for every one spent. Ten
thousand copies will be printed on
the nineteenth day of December and
delivered and mailed to every one
of our three thousand and six hum
dred Daily and Weekly subscrib-
ers, and the remaining issues will
be mailed to people who should
buy goods in Ardmore and who
live in this immediate section.
The paper will prove a "crier" for
every merchant in our city who
uses its columns to herald an an
nouncement extending an invita-
ton to the readers of this Christ
mas number of the ARDMoREITE to
become customer of theirs or at
least of Ardmore.
The reading feature of this issue
will be replete with articles on the
advantages and resources Of Ard
more as atrading point and the In
dian Territory's needs and advan-
tages and othermatter of interest to
our people, together with Christmas
stories, ETC., for the little folks.
Altogether the paper will be one
that will be appreciated and point
ed to with pride by our people and
the best yet issued by the paper.

esting and lively we have decided
to add guessing contest which is

Weekly ARDMoREIFE will be given
