,,r than hoodoo. This day fourteen
years ago the Ardmor"ite was launch
Nv I'd upon the uncertain sea OF Jour
nalism. Some half dozen other papers
have come and gone. but Tie Ard
-. morete continues 10 stay. Once In
It's history It was rcsurrccted from
ashes and Immediately took ON new
life. II began to be published when
Ardmore was n small town, when
there was small patronagr for daily
p'papor. but every day It came from
hthe press and made its visits to the
'ehomos Of tho people. The people oi
uArdmore and surrounding towns nave
c'learned to look for an deXpect It's
mdaily visits. They have become wed
oded to the paper ana today It is thor
aoughly established. 70 establish pa
per is no easy matter II means n
avast amount Of faithful work and an
Expenditure Of much money. but when
once established there is no other bus
mess enterprise that is 80 closely
nlinked with the hearts of the people.
Pit becomes an institution whose per
petuity is safeguarded by the affec-
stions of thousands of patrons. Tue
oArdmoreite has reached that point 10
"its history where II Is absolutely safe
from the shoals of financial wreck
land II has well defined point In
'view-that of becoming n better and
bigger paper from year to year.
As an evidence Of the congeniality
chat has prevailed in the office we
point to tho fact that the working
force is almost the same TO-DAY that
1t was ten years ago.
The Ardmorcitc mas perfect equip.
mcnts for producing a paper and IN
news ~ the day comes from the press
at the same minute every afternoo
and is delivered either 10y carrier or
by mail 10 the readers with the same
regularity.
Our lists Of readers have steadily
grown with the development of the
town and country and with the ad
vance Of the paper toward metropol.
itan proportions.
The news Of the world comes to
MS ON the day It happens through the
medium of the Associated Press. the
news of the surrounding towns comes
on the day 1t happens by wire and
by telephone from corps Of CORE
spondcnts and the local reportorlal
force is stronger than ever before in
the history Of the paper.
The columns OF the Ardmoreit'
nave been fair TO all alike No man
can lie upon his pillow at night aud
feel toward the Ardmoreite that bit
ter anguish which results from his
or his family's misfortuncs have been
held mp to ridiculc IN the press. W,
believe that the paper wh'ci gocs
into the homes should carry all the
good ana as llttle ot the cNll as good
journalism will perrnit
In business way the AreT ,r,'to
has no room for complaint II carries
the major portion NJ The paid local
advertising and enjoys douhic the
amount OF advertising patronage Of
any ouer paper in Indian Territory.
The latter patronage is never prompt

During the next year We are going
10 merit the loyal support that has
always been given us and We have
no fears for the result of the papers
