ARDMORE NAY BECOME
THE FRUIT CEN TER
Of SOUTH OKLAHOMA A

There is to be a market for peaches
and other fruit. in Ardmore, according
to a statement of j. L. Shannon, prom
inent citizen and fruit grower Of
Wynnewood who arrived recently to
make Ardmore his headquarters during
the fruit season.
Mr. Shannon has associated with him
James Melton and John McMichael of
st. Louis, Mo, who represent large
commission houses.
They will utilize the peanut factory
as a packing and shipping depot, where
they will receive all marketable fruit
brought to them by Carter county grow
ers.
They have already purchased the fruit
crop from the Walter Colbert and Err
rett Dunlap orchards. and are prepared
to make other purchases.
The peach crop is exceptionally
heavy in this vicinity. and what has
been offered for sale are of the finest
quality. If a permanent market could
be assured there is every reason to be
lieve that large commercial orchards
may be planted here, which will make
Ardmore the peach headquarters of Ok
lahoma, is the opinion expressed by
Mr. Shannon and his associates.
