AROUSE, YE MEN OF ARDMORE

II HOSE of Ardmore's citizens who were
fortunate enough to listen to the address
of that distinguished speaker, Allen Albert
must recall his warning that oil never built
city-that it took factories and industrial
industries to firmly establish the prosperity
Of community
Oil, gas and minerals become exhausted
factories continue to increase in capacity
and year by year add to their pay roll
Ardmore, if it wishes can become a sec
ond Akron, with it's hundred million dollar
annual payroll, but it must support and foster
the early attempts to establish the rubber
industry in its midst.
There are two tire factories located here
One of them the BeSaw Tire and Rubber
Company, was brought here by the Chamber
of Commerce, and is made up Of large
number of small stockholders, none of whom
hold enough stock to be responsible for It's
financial life-blood.
1t is really the foser-child of Ardmore's
Commercial Chamber
few stockholders have loaned it their
credit, but they refuse to carry the entire
burden, and have withdrawn their support
for the reason that the citizenship generally
of our city, does not seem disposed to share
with them the burdens of trying to build up
an institution Wnlcn Will mean Il STEADY pay
roll for the city.
This means an end to the dream Of an
Industrial Section in Ardmore.
A week or two more and the wheels of
this factory will cease to turn, if Ardmore
and its new Chamber of Commerce do not
awaken to the seriousness Of the loss Of a
payroll which already amounts to approx
mately 81 800 per week, to say nothing of
the salary payroll of its office force.
Ardmore may not care for its largest
weekly payroll; if so it will not regret its
passing, as it surely will pass with the pres
ent month if the men of'the city do not lend
hand in the matter.
The newly organized Chamber of Com
merce can do a great deal in this matter by
at once taking hold of the situation. If it
cannot save Ardmore a payroll of the mag
nitude of that of the BeSaW Tire and Rubber
Company, then the work of part Of our
citizens in reorganizing it was rendered inI
vain.
AS rang out the call of Rome when it,
confronted crisis. our city might well cry
aloud, "AROUSE. YE MEN OF ARDMOREH'

has heard OF the Marmola Prescrip

ftt-defying elements discovered by one
Of the foremost physicians. Now, from
the same high authority, there comes
another idca-the idea OF condensing
these same pure, harmless ingredients
into pleasant little tablet. Taken
after eating and at bedtime, they
help the stomach to dispose OF all
the fatty foods converting them into
compact solid flesh, muscle and energy
without dieting or exercise. Mar1nola

MERITED COMMENTATOR

a FEW days ago the Durant Democrat
a carried an editorial condemning the
average street carnival show and urging the
people of that city to oppose such travelling
aggregations coming to and exhibiting there.
The Democrat took the right stand in the
matter. There is nothing uplifting and
moral in The average carnival. On the con-
trary there is much that is the reverse.
A good show. a good circus with well
filled menagery is something that is worth
while. Much may be found in the circus ana
menagerie, combined, which is educational as
we'll as entertaining.
But the average strolling carnival, as
rule. and there are few exceptions to- this
rule, carries with it shows which are of such
flagrant character that they would be
hissed off the modern vaudeville stage, and
that is saying mouthful.
The editorial stand taken by the Demo-
crat is we repeat, worthy of commendatlon.
1t sets an example which other newspapers
in other Oklahoma cities would do well to
emulate.
