across a field to avert the seemingly
unavoidable collision. other motorists
returning from the club, saw the
falling meteor, but were not nearly

Growth of Ardmore

W. A. French, who represents the
American Industrial Oil Company here,
is pleased with the development OF
this city. He sees in Ardmore a city
that will grow to a population OF So.
600. He believes that it has an op.
portunity to grow into one of the
largest cities OF the state. His reas.
ons are that there is no city within a
radius OF 100 miles that is larger than
Ardmore and that this city is the
capital city OF the greatest oil fields
in the state or in the entire mid-con.
tinent area, and these oil fields
will support many pipe line and refin.
cry companies and many other insti.
tutions that go TO build up a city.
Added TO the oil industry there is vas,
wealth from live stock and agricul.
,ture. Mr.. French is of the opinion
that there will be some railroad pro.
jects started before the end of the
year that will add 10 the prominence
of Ardmore.
