SAYS THE PLAN IS FEASIBLE AND
STOCK WILL DOUBLE IN VALUE

L want to congratulate the Ard

feasible and reasonable plan for the
building of an interurban to the north
west. Every man / hear speak Of
it, commends you and expresses an
interest in seeing your plans real
lied | will take $3.50 worth of the
stock and in doing so I believe that
the stock will double in value. Such
a road as you propose will not pay
for a few years, in my opinion, and
you cannot hope to get some company
to come here and put up all the funds
with which to build it. But such
line will pay within a few years and
by all of us putting something into
the road, we can induce some one to
come and build it now
Mr.. Norman is one Of many who
have commended us upon our work
for the interurban and we appreciate
the kind words, but they will never DO
the work. But if each will do as
Mr. Norman has done, come down with
his money, the line will be built.
Visitor Talks.
One visitor to the city said he had
read the inteurban stories with some
interest, that it was a progressive
move upon the part Of a newspaper.
but the bond market was so bad now
that the line could not be built.
But listen here. The people Of Ard
more and through the country are sub
scribing to this building fund in a
manner that we will be Independent
Of the bond market or SO nearly so
that we will not need their help.
Two Promoters Here.

tion of a first Monday Sales Day

fort VIII be made this time to make

tioneer, has located in this city and
will meet with the Commercial club
and submit plans that he has work
ed success ssfully in almost every state

day sales. Mr.. Cloir stated that if
the people would help him get the
sales started that he could bring
stock buyers here every Monday from
all over Texas, and would give a
ready market to every farmer who
has stock to sell. An effort has been
made in the past to hold monthly
sales in this city for the benefit of
the farmer but for some reason they
nave failed for lack of interest upon

city. Mr.. Cloir states that there Is
no possibility of failure if his plans

guarantees that within six months he
can have as successful first Monday
sales in operation in Carter county
as are held at present all over Tex
as.
