The oil production in Garter county

southwest, is the gist of AN opinion eX

more as the hub about which it will
circle and from which new discovery
wells will radiate. N--
In discussing the new Carter cosnty
field and the future Of Ardmore, Mr..
Hamon said that he sincerely believed
the new production would develop into
one of the largest and most profitable
in Oklahoma.
This new production, according to
Mr. ITamon, promises to open on the
market at S2.25 per barrel a most ma
terial advance above any price ever
heretofore paid for Hcaldton crude
while the pay sand, he says, promises
to prove most prolific and to cover a vast
area.
As a result of the development of this
field in Ardmore's immediate trade ter.
rtory. Mr. Hamon said that every
logical reason indicated this city would
increase within few months to a pop.
ulation of not less than 80. 200.
This estimate, the gentleman said,
was not based upon any desire to pro.
mote any kind Of business activity in
Ardmore but it is based upon his solid
! conviction, as a man who is familiar
with all the existing conditions and who
knows Ardmore, Ardmore people, Ard

is tributary to Ardmore.
