PANY Is PUSHING AHEAD.
Investments LOOK Good
Dayton Ohio Men Have Faith In Tulsa
That Prompts Them TO ENpend
More Money.

It's easy for some men 20 knock,
but not the man who realizes what
the company Is doing In Tulsa and
plans to do in the future, East side
improvements are going in now
If you live on the East side Of the
city andl have to transfer from one
car to another, walking from block
10 two blocks to make the transfer
and If you are q thoughtlcss indi-
yidual, 1t is very probable that You
have been expressing yourself rather
freely about n 'grasping corporation
that dared to Inconvenience you to
such vast extent
But If you are a loyal Tulsan, a
progressive citizen, you have looked
beyond the little personal inconyen-
fence and have seen the first prepa-
rations for vast Improvements the
street car company IL going TO make
in their service. If you happen to
he mathimatically inclined It is prob
able that you have attempted to place
an estimate on the money cost of work
and material necessary to make these
improvements.
II your powers OF deduction are de-
veloped you have also probably in.
cmded in this cost substantial item
for the loss of earning caused by 9
Aomorllzation of the serNce-a con
dition that tends to keep the womel
and children home while the road ID
torn up.
In these hot days when the thought
less are wont TO bemom conditions
and predict dire ruin in the financia
future it is an encouraging sight thi
ught-of-way Of tho Tulsa street Ran
way Company, for It represents to
loval Tulsan more than IA few week
work for a crew of honest men,
represents more than the promise o
stlll better service for the man whit
lives in that part OF the city, for
presents in a vivid manner the faiu
out side capital has in Tulsa's future
For the past four years cars on thi
line have run on a 4-inch 6O-poun
rail. These rails are by no mean
worn beyond their useful days, ]
fact they are in shape that woul
nave warranted the street car com
pany leaving them in service for
number of years to come.
In their place the company Is lay
ing 6-inch 72-pound rail, that eX
elusive of labor and other eXpens
items runs into thousands Of dollars
When we hear that some local ma
has shown faith in Tulsa by vast Inn
vestments many are wont to wonde
# his home associations did not,
an extent, blind his business judl
mcnt This Is not typical of Tuls
alone, but Of every rapidly GROWN
- city
When foreign capital comes IN an
Increases its investments howeNe
there is assurIdly no possibility
charging their faith up TO homo prid
Entire credit is due to their firm be
lief in the city's future and the cor
Gcquent safety of their investmen
And, as a further proof Of the con
panys faith in Tulsa, It Is pointed on
that the company officials mad
every possible effort to gain permit
place their new track at the side
the street, for they are confident thi
population increase will very short
call for second track so that SCI
vice can be Increased, That this pei
nit was not granted and If Increase
service is delaycd-the company car
not be charged with being locks
For the past year the directors
the company have been taking acti'
interest in the wonderful deyelopmel
Of Tulsa and their final judgmei
was that their company should ke'
pace with the growth,
The work on the East Side !
promised is only n starter In the ful
fillmcnt Of the companys plans, In
provemcnts will extend to other pc
tlons of the roadway, extensions W
be made, new rolling stock will be Il
stalled.
Many people have taken occasi'
20 express themselves rather free
about the street car company-b
this movement will tend to bright'
the relationship between TuIsan's al
the Tulsa street Car Company for
puts the company I'm line with 9th
Tulsa builders and pins on II Il
badge of confidence, badge IN
