MR.. R|NCL|NC
MAKES A VISIT
To ARDM0RE
is PLEASED WITH GROWTH OF
ARDMORE AND RINGLlNG, AND
HURRlES HOME TO NEW YORK
FOR HOLIDAYS.

John Ringing and Charley Wilson,
last night for their homes for the
Christmas holidays. Mr.. Wilson will
spend Christmas in Chicago and Mr..
Ringing will go on to his home in
New York. These gentlemen had not
been here since the new Ringing sta
ton was completed and they were
both delighted with the new struc-
ture. Mr. Ringing took a great deal
of pride in the construction of the
building and also in the furnishing
and interior finish. They visited Ring
ling while in the state and We're
greatly pleased with the activity of
that new oil town, They did not
visit the fields.
Mr.. Ringing was one of the oriGi-
nal members of the Coline Oil COM
pany and sold out at nice profit.
He has other interests in the field
and is Interested in seeing "A well
in 1884 where drilling is being done
on lands that belong to Mrs. Ringing
in fee.
Charley Wilson, in speaking of Ard
more, said it was a new city. When
he first began coming here, there
were not more than half dozen
autos in the city; now there are
approximately 400 machines, The
Kearney Garage on North Washington
street, he says, is as handsome and
has as many handsome cars as the
garages in Chicago. The building is
a beautiful one and adds materially
to the activity of that street. Mr..
Wilson observed that the stores are
all busy, that they have magnificent
stocks of goods, and the mercantile
interests of the city are in a pros
porous condition. He reioiced at the
changed appearance of the business
section of the city. When the work
now going on is completed the bust
ness section will be modern, and Ard
more will scarcely know itself He is
Of the opinion that if the Fox district
develops into a field, which it prom
ises TO do at this time, that Ardmore
more will move forward so fast that
the changes can be scarcely kept up
with, and Ardmore will be known as
the Tulsa of the southern portion Of
the state.
Mr. Wilson said he would not miss
the family Christmas tree for an oil
well, and he was anxious to get back
home to enjoy the Christmas times
with his family.
