Is ARDM0RE ASLEEP?

Are you aware that the five thou
sand automobiles in Carter county
mean an annual outlay for tires OF
from s5OOOO000 to $1,000. 10000 or
as much as this county received each
year for a $4,000 bale crop In the
days of ten cent cotton?
Are you aware that an institution
costing hundreds Of thousands of
dollars, with payroll Of thousands
Of dollars per month is turning out
every day a large quantity of fine,
high grade tires?
Why is It We perfer sending out
of town for a product that in many
instances is inferior to the home
product, and paying therefor a high
er price than the local product would
cost? The writer has purchased a
number Of these tires and Is now
using one tire with mileage Of
over 1900 miles which shows only a
slight amount of wear. Other peo.
pie in this town are using these
tires exclusively and prefer them
10 any other make.
Possibly the failure of the Ard
more public to purchase more of these
tires is due 10 the fact that before
the Ardmore factory commenced pro.
duction number of inferior tires
were made elsewhere to take care Of
orders reaching the BeSaw factory
We understand the company is willing
TO make adjustments for any OF such
tires as proved unsatisfactory.
The tires used by automobile own.
ers in Carter county alone would
keep the factory busy, but instead we
seem to prefer to spend our good
money to help make the wonder city
Of Akron still more wonderful, all
on the tire factories great payrolls.
The product of the BeSaw factory
Is fast piling up, and the company
faces the alternative Of either find
ing market for these tires or shut
ting down its factory. The answer
is up to the people Of Ardmore and
surrounding territory.
Why not give at least one tire n
trial? That is all the local com.
pan yasks, and is the least they
are entitled to receive at the hands
Of the Ardmore public, a CITIZEN

"One.half of the normal supporters
