A proposition 20 locate wooden
mill in ArdmorG has been received
by the Commercial club, but what dis
position will be made of it is hard 10
tell unless. the club arouses from It's
lethargic stage Business OF great mo.
ment for Ardmore demands revival
of the club and we would like to see
it active once more. The matter OF a
wooden mill. even If il should use two
thirds cotton In the manufacture ct
goods, seems TO us out of place at
Ardmore Wool is a very small facto,
on our market, for We have not the
sheep. Rather pull for a cotton mill,
that our staple. We have always
plenty cotton to keep a mill busy,
Manufacture staple goods for which
there Is always a market and instead
of sending cotton away to be wove
into cloth, send out the goods made
in Ardmore." Apart from the employ
ment such an institution would give
hundreds of people IL would be a finan
cial success TO its projectors The wa
ter question has in a measure been
solved, the new railroads are opening
up new fields for our wholesale mer
and cotton gods are as staple as cof
fee. Give the cotton mill a thought.

We were notified by cur companies
to put into effect on March 18th. the
advance OF 20 per cent ordered through
out the entire United States. with the
exception OF the Pacific slope.
This advance was absolutely neces-
sary. or else the companies would
have TO cease doing business, and as
any business man knows when goods
are sold below cost, something is GO
ing TO happen to the seller Insurance
is like any other commodity. and
when the receipts therefrom fall be
low the expenditures, there are two
things to do, increase the cost, or quit
selling the goods
For the past three years the various
companies doing business. throughout
the United States have done so at a
loss of Sl2,OOO.OOO for proof OF this
il is only necessary to consult the
reports filed with the various lnsur-
ance departments of the different
states.
