MUST MEET NEW CONDITIONS.

Oil men who have been in the bust
ness for years and who have been ac-
0uainted with the Healdton pool from
It's inception state without reservation
that in their opinion this will prove
to be the greatest pool of oil in the
United States. Almost every week
some feature of the field eclipses some
ether well known field and the oldest
heads are surprised at the develop
ments. and the largest producers in
the country are scrambling for posi-
tions in the field and some big deals
are pending now that will bring some
Of the other big operators here. The
Ardmoreite has been conservative in
its reports, men who visit the field
say it is bigger than it has been ad-
Hertised and without an exception they
are pleased with the features of the
field.
These things being true it means
that for fifty years there viii he an
oil field near Ardmore. And coupled
with the oil field will be mammoth
gas production that will attract many
people and much wealth. One of the
men who manufacture gasoline from
natural gas, in the Tulsa fields, and
who is owner of the largest plant of
the kind in the state. says this gas
here can be manufactured into gaso-
line. This will open an Industry that
will put many thousands of dollars
into the channels of trade here. Fac.
tories by the score will be located |
here for cheap fuel, and Ardmore must
prepare for this enormous business |
and to care for the vast numbers of |
people who will come here. Factory |
sites must be provided at reasonable
prices. homes must be built, office
buildings mast be in readiness for
these people. New business houses
must be provided for those who want
