have written Mr.. spaulding that
I am in touch with people in New

might possibly be interested in your

another gas company In Ardmore,
believing they can furnish your city
with cheaper gas than you now pay
and still make money.
I happen to know Of several manu-
featuring propositions that would
have located in Ardmore some time
ago had il not been for high gas.
Your city is so located that is is
very desirable for the manufacturing
of certain things. and II you have gas
at the right figure, there is no ques.
ton but what It would mean a great
deal to the city.
II you know of any property near
