Carter County.

Editor Ardmorelte:
Twenty years ago, within the pres
eut limits OF Carter county, there
were only Two or three post offices,
generally a goods box with a few
crude plgcon-holes were entirely ade
quite TO the needs.
Deer and Wild turkeys abounded in
forest and prairie. lhe traveller could
go for miles and miles without sec
ing house except occasionally a
ranch house with a few acres in cul-
tlyation.
But those who had been lured 10
this country by its fertility and beau
ty, accumulated wealth with such re-
markable rapidity that in few short
years the country was dotted about
with small farms, the farmers being
class OF citizens not content with
small matters, and after being as
sured OF the fact that almost any
thing would grow here that could be
produced in the temperate zone began
10 enlarge their farms Then towns
began to rise up like phantoms from
the deep and from small towns to
cities as in the case OF Ardmore,
which when only ten years old was
the largest inland cotton market In
the world. and has held its place TIL
this day.

the demand is ALMOST equal to the
capacity Of the plant to supply.
In the installation of the ice plant
the same care was exercised as in the
installation OF the electrical depart
ment. That is, the machinery is put
up in duplicate Should any part be-
come broken or for any reason refuse

plicating machinery that can be plac-
ed in motion in few minutes time
and the plant can always be depend

upon the broad humanitarian princi.
pie Of being fair TO labor. Every la
boring man around the plant is in
harmony with the management. Good
wages are paid, merit only entities

tween manager and employees pre-

Ardmore has every cause TO be-
proud OF this magnificent plant and
on the other hand the plant has every
reason to be proud Of Ardmore. They

Among the new machinery that is

The history of the Ardmore Ice,
Light and Power company reflects
So plainly the history of Ardmore
that an attempt to portray the plant
without mention of its beginning
would eliminate the most inspiring
portion of the story. In 1904 small
electric plant was being operated In
Ardmore. The service was unsatis-

that hour the city was in darkness,

of the finest make and the generators
are all Westinghouse goods.
\ visit to the plant is incomplete
without seeing the boiler rooms.
Here enormous boilers capable OF
producing one thousand horse power
are in position and are being fed with
natural gas. This boiler power when
transmitted to the other machinery
produces a capacity OF sos kilowats
which is equal to 1900 horse power
BY using the entire capacity of the
plant a power equal to 1900 horse
power can be produced.
This plant gives employment to
forty men, two-thirds of whom are
skilled workmen and the greater part
of them are men of families. Each
department has a courteous man at
the head who takes pride in show
ing visitors through the plant.
In addition TO operating this mag
niicent electric plant the company
has the finest ice plant In the state.
The crystal ice turned out here has
reputation and is shipped in car
lots to Marietta, Davis, Wynnewood,
Mannsville, Madill, Byars and King

made to Norman, Shawnee and Okla
