MERCHANTS WILL NOT ADVER-
TlSE IN DIRECTORY UNLESS
1T is PRINTED AT HOME.

In another column CT The Ardmore-
ite will be found IA wire story" sent
out from Durant, in which 1t is stated
that the business men of that city
have refused to advertise in the direI-
tory Of tn Pioneer company unless
| hat company will have the directory
| printed by a Durant printing concern.
Eurant is one of the best towns il
southern Oklahoma. 1t is very evi-
dent that it has a Stick Brother
Stick" club and it is evident that
the club has helped that city to BE-
come what it is. There is not public
institution, not a business enterprise
that labors harder, whose individual
members work longer hours and go
TO greater lengths to work out the
welfare of a town than does the
home paper" 1t will print column
after column free of charge for any
enterprise that may help the town
out. Week after week and year after
year the home paper" donates dol
lars in the way of space for the town
1t stands by the merchants of the
town. by the people of the town. 1t
fights mail order houses when they
draw money out of the town, away
from the home merchant and in nine
ty and nine cases it gets kick In
return.
Thank the god of justice that there
is one town where the merchants are
willing to stand behind their paper
where they have set the example
which will doubtless be followed by
all the live and loyal merchants IN
all the live and loyal towns in this
live and loyal state. -..
No one commends tie action {
the man who makes his money i'll a

another town because he may not be
able to buy his supplies little b't
cheaper by so doing. The Pioneer
Telephone company draws its sup |
port from the towns in which its Of |
fices are located. 1t charges good |
stiff toll for the service it gives the |
people. 1t expects the home paper |
to lie itself black in the face and per |
iure its immortal soul, if it should |
chance to have one. saying that |
the service rendered is superior to |
that given in any other city on the |
face of Gods green earth, it distrlb' |

cost of whose publication is paid by the |

in some big shop" where the work
uay have been done a little chCaper
than it could have been done in the
home town. And the pages of the
directory. so far as one may see, IS
unadorned with even union label.
The papers of Durant have stuck t.
the town-they have stuck to the mer
chants of the town and the Durant
merchants are showing their appre-
citation in refusing to patronize the
pages of Gn advertising medium
which will take their dollars, earned
in Durant away from Durant enter
prises.
As stated previously. Durant is q
good town and it will always be one,
because the people of the town st cS
together Other cities and towns, not
OILY in Oklahoma but in all other
states, may do well to take Durant
as a pattern.
