BROOKS BURNER STOVE
COMPANY.

The Brooks Burner Stove Co. is
fast growing into one of Ard
mort's most important industries.
The business was started in a
small way by Wilson Newman
in his tinshop located at that time,
1914, at 2l4 West Main street.
Only eight gas stoves were built
that year, using the w. l.. Brooks
patent burner. In 1915, 250 stoves
were built and sold, and orders
were coming in for future deliv-
cry to such an extent that Mr..
Newman was forced to seek larg-
er quarters and moved into the
traley building on Caddo street,
where he built and sold $50 of
these stoves during the year 1916.
In the meantime a two-story
factory was built on Third ave
nue. between Washington and
Caddo, expressly for the business,
and in these new quarters, dur
ing the year 1917, 1850 stoves
were built and sold. Scarcity Of
material has been holding down
the output OF this factory for the
past year or more, but still the
output is gradually growing, al
though it falls short of meeting
the growing demands for the
Brooks gas stove. At this time
the Brooks Burner Co. has booked
orders for delivery this year to the
extent OF 5000 stoves and has re-
fused to accept orders that were
received amounting to over 1000
more.
In January of this year the
Brooks Burner Stove Co. was
chartered under the laws of Okla
homa, taking over the business of
Wilson Newman, with the follow
ing officers and directors. Will
son Newman, president and gen

Wilmington.
The camp has paid to widows
and orphans of deceased members
the sum of $l25,750. Ninety-six
monuments have been erected at
a cost of $4,000. The camp has
helped members to pay dues, taken
care of the sick and furnished
supplies to the amount of $4,000.
SiXty-siX members of the camp
are now in service and the camp
is paying the dues OF each, to the
of $Sl per month, and
have pledged themselves to con-
tinue this work until the expira-
ton OF the war. The camp has
also bought $500 worth of Liberty
bonds.
w. s. Wolverton, who became
a member of the camp in 1897, was
elected banker soon after becom-
ing member and has been elect
ed to this Office every year since.
Oklahoma has a membership |
OF 10000 and Ardmore has the
largest camp in the state with
