DEMOCRAT P.&L. CO.
BUYS FOR A HOME
PRINTING COMPANY WILL ERECT
FOUR STORY BUILDING ON
QUARTER BLOCK NEXT
YEAR.

Looking we'll into the future, the
Democrat Printing & Lithographtng
Co has provided against emergencies
by the purchase of quarter block of
ground from the Skillern estate, on
Second and Scott streets. This prop
erty was occupied by the Rose-Lyon
Hardware Company, Arkansas Auto
mobile Appliance Company, and sew
eral stores, prior to the fire which de-
stroyed the buildings on the quarter
block.
Although the Democrat company
has a lease of four years duration yet
on its present location, it will begin
the construction of modern build
ing on the site during the coming
year, and by January 1, 1921, will be
in its own home. The plans for the
building have not yet been drawn, but
the officials of the company have de-
cided that nothing less than three
stories with basement will be SUN
cient to house the machinery and
stock that will be moved into it.
The Democrat Printing & Litho-
graphing Company operates the larg-
est printery in the state, as well as
bindery, lithographing department,
and carries also a very large stock OF
office supplies, It has prospered, but
it has deserved to prosper having eff
fieient management, equipment to
turn out any kind Of work. the force
to do it with, and territory that is
prosperous to operate in.

the pipe lines, and additional tankage
facilities are being provided on the
ground" said Mr.. Frazer. Dividend
checks viii be sent to all stockhold-
ers at the earliest possible moment.
The stockholders are advised that
the companies own valuable leases
and that other wells are to be drilled
at once. Their best interests will be
served by holding to the stock. 1t is
worth now in actual value many times
more than par, but it will pay in divi-
bends much more than to sell it even
at the heavy premiums it how com
mands. The books are closed. There
is no more stock for sale. Oil prices
are advancing rapidly. Last week it
advanced from 1925 to $3.50 I,er bar
rel, and it is predicted that it will go
to SO or $3.50 BARREL Oil is being
used in many industries in place If
coal, and the increasing demand for
gasoline is causing an unlimited de-
mand for all that can be produced.
This is permanent investment in a
project that will pay big dividends to
the thousands fortunate enough 10

ket"

building on the site, and just as soon
as plans can be drawn and the con-
tract let, work will begin. The lots
will be cleared off lit the meantime,
so there will he no delay, as the bank
is extremely anxious to get into the
