BOOSTING ARDMORE
Rev. E. r. Welch Tells Oklahoma City
OF Ardmore

OF Ardmore.
"Ardmore recently has experienced
a wonderful upliiD," said the Rev. f.
r. Welch, pastor OF the Methodist
Episcopal church south in that city,
who has been attending the laymen's
missionary convention here.
"The city now finds itself the me-
lropols of the south Oklahoma OIL
fields" he continued, "and, perhaps,
is booming as no other city in Ok
lahoma. Much building is In progress
and the hotels are crowded almost
nightly.
THAT Ardmore is to have a new
$4,000 hotel is assured. We are
somewhat in the dark as to who will
secure control of the new hotel, but
we know that negotiations have been
in progress with Joseph Huckins Jr.,
of Oklahoma City. Our business men
are holding out a bonus of $4,000.
Our town is to have great au-
tomobile show and fashion week OBJ
seryance the first week of April. Ex-
tens.ve preparations are being made
and it is claimed the event will be
the biggest festival occasion of the
year.
Much building is in progress. The
Presbyterian congregation is erecting
$4,000 church ediflce and the
Methodist Episcopal church has con
tracted for handsome pipe organ
to be installed Immediately. Other
denominations have good buildings,
well equipped.
Arrangements have been made
with NJ. d. Williams of Winona to
inaugurate a great union tabernacle
in our town April 10. 1t is
expected this will prove the most in
teresting serial meeting in Ardmore's
history.
an a moral way Ardmore has al
tered greatly in the last twelvemonth.
