IMPORTANT ADDRESS TO
CITIZENS or CHICKASHA
An Appeal Of Great Moment Made
In The Interest Of Al--President Sayer
Tells Interesting Story

-a-~4H-~~-~~-w
makes Of the prospector a walking
advertisement for Chickasha. No one
knows this better than do we who
have driven over the city and country
with persons, many Of whom have Wis
tied the rich, desirable farming sec
tions Of the United States. Invariably
they express themselves surprised a,
our beautiful location, evidences OF
thrift and opportunity offered for
great growth as a commercial center
Many Of such visitors have, before
coming to Chickasha visited other en-
terprising cities of the state and invar-
iably they express themselves as i'm
pressed with our superiority in many
ways.
But, says some one, if this be true,
why have we not located more enter
prises2 If your we're to visit the Com
mercial club rooms more frequently
and learn conditions you would know
and appreciate the situation more full
ly. Most Of those who have visited
Chickasha have come to Oklahoma
with view to locating in the fall or
SO soon as they may be able to close
out interests back home Some have
come to view the conditions for pro
motion of great enterprises which be-
cause Of the financial furry. are yet
at a stand still; some have come with
a desire to locate manufactures, and
save where greater inducements have
been made them at other points in
way Of both grounds and buildings,
are yet figuring on locating here.
With almost all such visitors the
following contingencies have held
back final decision-speculation as
ta what the laws Of Oklahoma would
be relatives to capital and its invest
ed interests, the pending question o.
removal of restrictions, and the buz;
of the dynamos through the harness
ing of the Washita. The result o
the first two are now well known anC
the last will in a very short time b,
a reality, and now is the time to act
and the sooner and more earnest th'
work, the greater will be the response
With a fund of $500 or $4,000 Il
be used exclusively for advertising
the Commercial club can pretty liber
ally circulate the fact over the coun
try that Chickasha is the point t,
which all persons should come wit
desire to gain information or inyes
in the new lands to be put on the maj
ket for sale. Of course. the larger tn
sum, the greater viii be our abilit
to reach the people Of the north
south, east and west, who might be in
terested. Our idea is that when W
advertise through the spreading 0
news regarding the removal Of res
triotions, we advertise Chickasha alsC
and in the hustle and hustle that mus
accompany the presence OF an army c
of investors prepare the way to L
cate Industries and manufactures i
addition to locating farmers and trucl
ers. The certainty on the one han
Of bringing to Chickasha many thou
ands Of dollars that would otherwis
be spent in other sections Of the stat
and on the other hand the possibilit
of locating manufactures, is worthy {
the effort, and there is not a busine:
man In the city who cannot afford
contribute literally to such a fund.
About the time the influx Of peop
: would begin we would be under ws
with our IS blocks or paving and u
high school building and city hall WI
: be in course Of construction, say not
ing Of the many other structures tn
are promised. All these features wou
: help us in making the desired impre
sion on the visitors.
We have little figuring whi'
will show the enormous possibiliti
