Three Things Needed.
In addition to what have said
with reference 10 good roads. etc, |
will say that Tulsa must needs look
10 three distinct things Tor her own
growth in the future. do not believe
that she can be the great c,ty that
she now promises to he II the neg
lects these three things of which
shall now speak. First. she must
look out for more factories. We have
the cheap fuel We must. Al all cost
secure more factories thut viii en-
ploy multitu5es OF men and turning
cut a multiplicity of products. II our
SPLENDID Chamber Of Commerce Will
receive our cooperation in It's en-
deavor TO bring to the confines Of our
oity, large factories with diversified
interests will come here. Perhaps
greater inducements should be Of
fered to secure these industries.
Second. she must improve her con
rguous farming and fruit interests.
She must encourage farming, truck
raising and stock raising. Our coun-
~ far cannot be spoken of too high

L
who made this free fair possible. she
is TO be congratulated on .ahjng fret

that We're seen out there ~ the fair
make Tulsa county proud. The posi- q

| lNC stock exhibits. farm exhibits, as
well as other exhibits, makes uS see
what we might accomplish This fair
should he made n greater thing each
year until II becomes ono Of the
events of all of our country life.
Third, she must make thif n 5000
city in which to rear a family. In
stitutions of an evil kind never yet
contributed to the wealth Of com +

booze joints will eventually be mill-
