It is interesting TO note that not a
single one Of the places heard from
has ANYTHING like the commercial
and industrial outlook which Ard
more faces because of its vast re
sources in the oil fields now being de.
veloped. Yet at least five Of the cit
les which were taken for compari-
son are contributing more than 81
per capita Of their inhabitants men,
women ana chidren-to the support Of
their Chamber Of Commerce. In ev-
cry case except one the per capita
income of the chambers is three times
that Of the Ardmore organization, or
more.
Going out of Ardmores class and
looking at the reports from such
cities as Boston Cleveland. Cincinna
ii, Atlanta Detroit and Toledo. it has
been found that The Chambers of Com.
merce have incomes equivalent to
from twice to four times the amount
which the Ardmore chamber has had.
The observation was made some time
ago that invariably when one finds
what is called a live" town. he also
finds a live cvic-commercial orga.

making that town ever better.
Below are the figures from cities
comparable TO Ardmore in population,

owing to the difficulty Of giving
examinations to teachers of piano,
