ARDMORE SOON TO HAVE
LA RGEST RETAIL HARD
WARE ST0 RE IN SOUTH
PO RT|ON \ Of OKLAHOMA

Within the next 60 days there will
be opened in Ardmore one Of the big.
gost hardware establishments ever con.
Quoted here. The buildings for the
firm are now under course of con
struction and are located at the corner
q Broadway and Caddo streets.
1t was the far seeing insight OF Jim
Mulkcy. who first realized the posi-.
biiiles for just such store. and the
demand that a fast-growing city like
.trdnore was in need Of such "a bust.
ness which caused him to arrange
with Mr.. Fraley, owner OF the proc.
orty upon which the building il be-
ing constructed TO erect for his spec.
ial needs a modern store. with sur.
complete line OF hardware of every d.
scription. including stoves, etc. Tho
building now occupied by the firm Of
Mulkey and Miller will be used "a
q storage or warehouse for heavy
hardware, implements and wagons.
1t was just 10 years ago that Mr.
Mulkey came to Oklahoma With $3.50
in cash and started in the grocery
business at what later became the
little town Of MulRey located 10 mi ss
northeast of Ardmore. To Mr.. Mu-
keys efforts is due the location of a
postofiice at this place and durins
the first six months he paid the car
rier out Of his own pocket.
AS the county developed Mr.. Mullley
bought farm lands paying $40 an acre
for 20 acres and With the help OF
his wife, who looked after the store,
he put in his first crop of cotton
which sold on the local market at from
4 12 cents TO . cents a pound. His
corn brought 40 cents per bushcl
Later Mr.. Mulkey bought a small
ranch, paying $4.95 and s5.95 for 700
acres, which he stocked with horses
and cattle To-day this ranch is worth
many times the original price, whilo
Mr. Mulkey has continued to add t.
his land holdings and now has
number of farms and ranches scatter.
cd over the county.
Believing strong In Garter county
ana Ardmore, Mr.. Mulkey moved TO
tho city years ago and went into
lady's ready.to-wear business. half
interest in which he later sold to Mr..
James of Dallas, Texas.
AT tho beginning Of this year Mr..
MulkGt bought the hardware store Of
r. Il. Hill and Company in its present
locat.o on on Broadway, and his bust.

Mr. Mulkoy's policy has always
been honest and upright dealing With
MS customers. giving the best that
money can buy. at o conservative
profit.
Already the largest stock Of har.l-
ware that has ever been bought for

tons of the county that the cotton
crop is about all harvested in this

years crop. The acreage will be
about the same in the eastern portion
OF the county as it was the past year,
but in tho western portion where
a great deal Of wheat is usually
sown the acreage Of cotton will be
materially incrCSsed owing to the
fact that weather condition prevented

Y. W. c. A. TO RESUME
BUILDING CAMPAIGN

The Young Woman's Christian Asso
citation Is planning TO hold campaign
for The new building fund from Ma!
to IS. This Is the first general cam
paign that the association has held foi
this purpose since the spring OF 1916
Shortly after that campaign the wal
came and the association deemed 10 un-
patriotic to continue with the new
building at that time.
Present prices Of labor and building
materials will make the proposed build
ing cost twice as much.
The present quarters OF the Y w. C.
A., No. S0i Market street. are leased un-
til January 1922 only, hence the vital
need Of a permanent home as soon as
possible. The directors Of the associa-
tlon feel that Wilmington. with all It's
Industrial plants and with the many
young women that are in this city, is
much in need OF a flourlshlng Y w. C..
A. building. The association hopes,
therefore. that all friends will realize
the precarious condition of the Y W.
and help them accomplish their aim.
