The ArdmOreite's
HOME FORUM
Wilson. Okla, May Is.

Wilson. Okla, May is.
Daily Ardmorete:
Those who read the Wilson Gazette
of last Friday of course noticed the
writeup given the post office in Will
son. The article dwelt upon the char
acter of building in which the post
office is now located as compared
with the one soon TO be built.
The new building, SO the article
stated was to cost approximately 81
500 and would be modern and a pride
to the town. 1t also stated that the
present building was an old wooden
shack. | wish to state to readers of
the paper, both in Ardmorc and Will
son, that the home of the present
postoffice is in $4,000 brick build
ing and is joined on the ives, side by
$4,000 brick building, in which
is one of the best picture shows in
southern Oklahoma. On the east side
a $4,000 brick building adjoins the
postoffice, being one of the most up
to-date hotels in town of this
size in the state.
The purpose of writing this letter
is to correct the impression left by
the Wilson man on the public gener-
ally. that the Wilson postoffice is To-
Gated in q rundown shack and to as
sure the people of Carter courky that
this office gives as good service as
could be expected with the amount
Of help allowed to run the office and
considering the amount OF business
done at the Wilson postoffice.
If the Gazette man only kept
up with his work half as well as the
postoffice does with theirs 1t would
not take the postoftice from. four to
six eeks to have small order of
job work delivered.
In conclusion We cordially invite
the Carter county citizenship and
strangers with in our gates to visit
