ford.
All OF the officers and directors OF
the association with the possible eXcep-
tion of Mr.. West, have long been iden-
titled with good road movements, and
Thompson and Singletary particularly
have a state reputation as leaders in
that line of work
II. p. Brunaugh, who was also elected
managing director has almost a nation
al reputation as an organizer of ability.
In an interview Presde-.t Thompson
stated that after a thorough investiga.
ton of the plans and purposes of the
Oklahoma Automobile Association, and
the progress il had already made, he
had become thoroughly imbued with
the bigness of the material benefits
that will accrue to the state at large
when the plans of the association have
become mature, and had accepted the
presidency of the association because
if afforded him the opportunity to get
in the harness again in the cause Of bet

ance business with "A number of agen-
ces in the western part of the state.
Mr.. Amacker while well known as a
road enthusiast, has become the vice.
president and will give all of his time
to the association because he is firmly
convinced that the association will
practically eliminate automobile theft
from the state and reduce insurance
rates to n figure where the car owner
can afford again to carry it,

of the fact that all of the insurance
companies doing business in the state.'
said Amacker, were on the verge Of
refusing to write insurance for the theft
Of any car in the state, they would real
ize the serious extremity at which we.
have arrived. Notwithstanding the fact
that all rates have been raised to almost
prohibitive figure, the insurance COM
panies claim they cannot write insur-
ance at a profit, owing to the large
number of cars stolen and never re.
covered and to the further fact that
they are compelled to pay out large
and unnecessary sums in the way of re-
wards for the cars that are recovered" "
This association" said Mr.. Amacker.
with its hundreds of representatives in
particularly every city and town in the
state, will with the proper support from
car owners soon put an end to these
conditions"
Mr.. Singletary says that owing to
the rapid growth of the association the
scope Of his work. has been considerably
enlarged. In addition to being called to
all parts of the state in conference with
various Chambers of Commerce and
other organization. with reference TO
road conditions and their improvement
his office, he says. is being crowded with
members of the association and tourists
passing through Oklahoma City all of
whom want information on road condi.
tions. etc.
The association is charging its quar-
ters in the Bassett building and will
have three large rooms, one of which
will be used for a rest room for members

AN ARDMORE INVESTMENT FOR
ARDNORE PEOPLE

The Preferred Security offering of
the Consumers Light K Power Com
pany of Ardmore is conservative and
dependable investment. A large pro-
portion of them are already owned by
residents of this city. The company's
securities stand high in the investment
centers Of the United States. They
are well and favorably known to the
bankers of New York, Chicago and st.
Louis.
The company does not have to offer
its securities to its customers. 1t is
doing so because ii believes that il can
be of the greatest and most valuable
service TO the public if a large num-
ber of the people become part owners
of the company. Interest and dividends
paid to Ardmore preferred share hold
ers remain in Ardmore. AS long as
the properties grow, new capitol can be
used to advantage. This fact provides
the opportunity for sound investment.
The money invested goes into modern
property devoted to public service. A
citizen may invest direct in properties
that he can see, in a business that he
can keep in touch with.
Many home investors mean that the
interest of the Company and the peo-
pie are more closely identified-that
the public will be disposed to be fair
to the company on one hand and the
company will be a better public ser
want on the other.
The Company's invitation to join it
as a profit-sharing partner is to all
the people; to the individual with a
small income as we'll as TO the person
with a large income-and the terms
are the same-Adv
