portion of this great young state.
This is the first opportunity !!

seing that section since the first
well was brought in several years
ago. There is not day passes but
that someone, strangers in the state,
will come into my office and, know
ing me to be from Ardmore, W'll
seek information about the 'Ardmcre
gas and oil fields Heretofore the
information which ! have been en-
abled to give out has been larG II!
second hand. Now when a party
comes to me for this information !
can tell him all about it and, fr0M
what saw personally yesterday
can saw that the newspapers aaNc
not told hall the story, In other
words-ths great oil field II so pro-
ductive and the prospects for n
tinued flow of both oil and gas so
good, as well as the bringing in
of other wells constantly, that he
newspapers have not made the story
as strong as 1t could have been ma ie
and the papers stll remained on TIE
side OF truth"
When asked how the old town
looked TO him and what he though;
OF its future, Governor Cruce said
that Ardmore would always lcok
mighty god to him. Il hate TO nave
70 leave here again." he said. "and
can say that there are, in my opin-
ion, only two things needed in this
city-more paint and more hustle.
The people have the opportunity here
10 build a city-nature has been ex-
tremely good TO the people of Arc
more, in fact she has showered good
things with lavish hand. All that
is needed now is for the people TO
wake up to a realization OF what iney
have within their grasp and put a
little ginger behind the enterprises
of the town"
