Of
LOYAL CITIZENS
HUSTLE AND PERSlSTENCY ON
THEIR PART HAS DONE WON.
DERS FOR ARDMoRE.

There is one committee in this
city which the people should feel
very loyal to and that is the bunch
of good fellows who began the cam
paign for a greater ArdmOre when
things looked mighty dull, and 10y
constant and by their own personal
guarantee induced the Ringing road
to build west out Of this town. The
building Of that road was the first
uplift the town received. 1t made
is possible for the rapid develop
ment of the oil fields and today
Ardmore is witnessing the most rap
i'd growth in its history and this
growth is largely due TO the fact
that this city had few loyal fell
lows who never gave up and who
have sacrificed their time and tneIr
money to make the town grow.
Those who subscribed to the rail.
road bonus fund owe it to the 10y
atty or this committee and owe II
to Ardmore and to the new growth
that has been started here to pay
their notes without having COL
lectors which the committee would
have to pay out of their own funds.
The notes are in the Guaranty
State bank and in the First National
bank where payments will be &C
ceptei. If the people of this city
should be any means fall down with
this committee and require them to
sacrifice their own property TO pay
the bonus sum, Ardmore would new
er deserve to be more than a cross
roads town in the hills of Arkan-
sas
