A pleasant event Thursday evening
was the annual banquet of the Current
Literature club which was given at the
home of the president, Mrs.J. w. Thurs
ton at 1901 Lane street. The club was
organized in 1895, and the banquet is
one of the annual affairs which is look
ed forward to with pleasure on the part
of the club members.
Mrs. Thurston returned a few days
ago from a trip in the east and she
brought with her a quantity of ever
green from Massa chusettS, and this was
used very artistcally in the decorations,
combined with her beautiful collection
of plants. The flowers used were car
nations and violets.
Suspended in the doorway between
the parlor and the library was the club
motto, Not Failure but Low Aim is
Crime"
The banquet was an elaborate affair
served in six courses. The guests were
seated at one long table and several
small ones. They found their places by
puzzles representing their names and
these caused a deal of guessing. The
souvenirs were tiny almanacs with a
currant tied in one corner, while in the
opposite one was pasted a club, cut

ARDMoRE CANDY FACTORY.
An Enterprise Which Is Today As
suming Vast Proportions.

In the business lexicon of Ardmore
there is no such word as retrogres-
sion. Every move is a step forward;
every move is a progressive one and
toward greater Ardmore.
The towns latest acquisition Is a
candy factory, with a capacity of 200
pounds every thirty-hve minutes.
The plant occupies the entire upper
floor of the Byrd building on South
Washington street and Is owned by
Messrs. Riggs 4 Dalton .proprietors
of the Crown Bottling Works.
The factory is thoroughly equipped
with new machinery, occupies a spa
cious new brick building, and the pro.
moters are prepared to turn out any
kind Of stick candy, all kinds of penny
goods, fancy candies, open kettle
goods, nut candies, and IN fact any
kind Of candy that is manufactured
anywhere else. Another experienced
.candy-maker, Mr.. VIM. A. Burge, ar
rived last night from Paris, Texas,
and has assumed his duties at the
factory.
The Chickasaw marble siSbs, the
bright copper vacuums and new fur
naces look inviting, and a business
air pervades the entire building.
All supplies are purchased by the
car and the owners are prepared to
make just as good candy as there is On
the market, and 10 compete with any
other factory in prices.
Tomorrow morning they will place
the product of the factory on the mar
ket and in doing their purchasing
Ardmore people should see that their
orders for candy are filled with candy
manufactured in Ardmore.
An other evidence of the faith
this firm has in Ardmore is the fact
that they have ordered new machln-
cry to be delivered April l, to double
the present capacity of the bottling
works plant.
