PA1R0NIzE HOME TALENT
A PLEA FOR LOCAL ARCHITECTS
AND BUSINESS MEN TO PEo.
PIE WHO WILL BUILD.

The necessity of patronizing home
industries in all lines Is known to al.
most every merchant In the small
town, and is appreciated even by the
merchants and business men OF any
city, which is progressive and en-.
terprising. This necessity is doubly
important In Ardmore, and any town In
the new state which Is struggling for
a foothold, In country where bust.
ness is strenuous and competition is
daily growing stronger.
Soon plans will have to be made
and specifications furnished for the
construction of several very large
buildings in this city. Those who are
on the inside of these propositions
know they are going through, al.
though there is nothing to give out
Just at present.
Also the contract for the construc.
ton of these buildings, which will
cost half a fortune, will be let. after
while. The Importance OF patroniZing
home architects and encouraging them
to strive for perfection in these lines
is great. Also the importance of pat.
ronizing home contractors is recog-
nized. Let the money stay at home.
Don't send 1t away.
The architects of the city are pre-
pared to draw plans for any building
which will be built here, and the CON
tractors have the means to erect any
such building.
1t would do some OF the promoters
of these proposed buildings good to
visit the architects of the city and
see the numerous plans which are
now being gotten out. fhey are as
perfect rs any one could wish
So give the work to your home ar
| chitects and contractors, and they
will give satisfaction.
