Washington. unlike other cities, is
a stabilized center Of industry, curl
ously and happily independent, in a
great measure, of the economic life
Of the country. This fact gives its
real estate a solidity. a sense OF

stability that differentiates wash

have never fallen on more than 10

A DIALOGUE

Lots of good well-meaning people are WILL
ing to give more prestige to another than they
take for themselves.
A visitor from another state approaches a
local man and asks of the hotels.
There is one at each end Of the street,
observes the citizen. THE outside appearance
is we'll enough, but they say management Is
awful. If they would run them right they
would do l gness."
"How many newspapers have you! IN
quires the visitor. None" is the quick re-
ioinder from the local man. There are TWO
that lay claim to being newspapers, but JUST
to be honest with you they are scarcely ell
tilted to DE called newspapers
The visitor then becomes more INTERESTED
in the personality that confronts nm imam he
is in the town, and he carries the investigator
further. He learns from the local man tAa'
the stores do not carry the goods the peopie
want and much Of the trading, and III lact
practically all his own buying, is done IN some
other city. He learns that the town has some
factories, but that the goods turned out 40 hot
come up to tue standard; that the CITY mas
spent lots Of money for churches, but 1alied W
employ good pastors; that the county has Halh-
moth oil fleldS, but only a lew get tie ioN~'
The foregoing is an epitome OF a dialogue
that happens in every city in the country.
There are people here who have not learned
that they can get as good merchandise in Ard
more as in any city within a radius OF ooo
miles; that the prices are just as reasonable
and equitable.
Despite what is said by any disgruntlea
man the visitor to Ardmore can get just as
good hotel accommodations as ne can get IN
Kansas City, St. Louis or Chicago. The hosiery
is not quite so large but the hotel has every
equipment for comfort and luxury that any
other hotel can have.
The local paper has the full wire service
of the greatest news gathering organization IN
the world, and has the facilities for giving TINS
service to the public.
The city has public-spfrited men and women
who are willing and who do make sacrl1lces
of their time and money every day toward
building a better city and every year witnesses
a marked progress in the commercial me- III
