.Chas. Won Weise, Lawyer-When
Nr. Won Weise was seen he was too
busy with matters connected with the
right of way and gave us liberty to
use his copyrighted story of Ardmore
which appeared in his book-"Battl-
ing for a Bonus" He says:
"Ardmore, county seat of Carter
county, often styled the Summit City
Of southern Oklahoma, today stands
like a giantess guarding her wealth
of untold treasure. No city within
d radius of more than a hundred
miles can compete with her in COM
mercial activity, nor vie with her in
| fertile and productive surroundings.
Secure in her numerical strength
of some 10000 progressive citizens,
she bids defiance to adversely, and
! confidently holds out the hand of
promise to the world, knowing full
well that at no time need she fear
for her honor at the hands of her
| faithful sons and daughters, nor dread
the results of her harvests.
Aside from the productiveness of
her fields and pastures, Ardmore has
reserve force of wealth in oil, gas,
asphalt, coal, lead zinc and glass
sand, besides shales and clay, which
needs hut the magic touch of capital
to cause it to flow a vertable stream
of gold: and all this lies within a
stones throw of her door. Carter
county is indeed the county of great
promise, and Ardmore the city OF
golden opportunity.

tify yourself as master mind in the
ART of foresight, and invest in our
virgin soil yielding from one-half to
bale of cotton per acre, with grains
