RUSSIANS IN OHIO PLAN
COOPERATIVE FARMING

In Akron, Ohio, where unemploy-
ment, has assumed considerable pro-
portions. several Russian workmen
are attempting to solve the problem
Of earning a living-by forming an
agricultural cooperative or "artel."
Only married couples may join this
association and each must be pre-
pared to invest at least $1,500-$500
for a first payment on the farmN ana
1900 for stock. -
With this capital they propose to
purchase about 200 acres of farm
land per member somewhere in Ohio,
and to build upon 1t a Russian viii
lage, with its own town hall, school
and library. Five acres win be allot-
ted each member for private use. the
remainder being cultivated collective
ly. and all machinery and stock will
be common property.
I Members will not be permitted to
withdraw from the "arter" for a
period of flve years. except where
one dies, when his family will re-
ceive compensation according to the
value of the property at that time
These Russians feel great confidence
in the success Of their Undertaking,
for the average Russian is born
farmer. and the atmosphere of our
Industrial -centers is sitting to him.

TREASURER OF PALACINE Oil. COMPANY

One Of the most progressive CONNER
cial enterprises of its kind in the state,
and which maintains headquarters in
this city, is the Palacine Oil Company.
It's suite of general offices is located
on West Main street. opposite the Ho-
tel Ardmore.
The president of the company, F. z.
Heckethorn, is in direct charge of the
company and resides with his family
in this city. Other officers are Edward
Gait of Ardmore, vice president, and
7. r. Garrison, member Of the<U. c. T..
secretary-treasurer
The Palacine Oil Company, under the
capable guidance of Mr.. Heckethorn,
has enjoyed remarkable success in a
very short period of time. It was orig
inally organized in 1907 by Mr. Hecke-
thorn, his wife and his brother, COM
mencing with n single filling station
at Shawnee, and growing until in 1919
the trio were operating a chain of 19
stations located at Shawnee, McLoud,
Wewoka, Wanette, Konawa, Pauls Val
ley, Lindsay, Sulphur, Ardmore, Maii-
eta, Madill, Mill Creek, Durant, Bos-
well, Hugo, Antlers, Idabel, Wapanucka
and Purcell. The station in Ardmore,
which was the first to be established in
this city, was located opposite Central
Park and is now being operated by the
Sinclair Oil Company. the firm which
purchased all the stations of the Pala-
cine people on June l, 1919.
However, even though the filling
stations We're at the time sold to the
Sinclair interests, nevertheless the Pal.
acme Oil Company remained intact,

menced operations. Since November l,
1919, the Palacine has expanded again
and today maintains twelve stations in
as many cities all of which are run on
the wholesale basis, with the exception
of the Ardmore branch. which also
maintains a retail filling station, Local
ed at the building in which the general
offices are conducted. Four more loca-
tons for stations have been made and
it is expected that within the next few
days they will be ready for business.
In addition to its general office build
ing and retail and iobbing stations here
the Palacine company has a two-story
warehouse near the outskirts Of the
city which serves as a central distribut-
ing place for oil to the various branches
This warehouse is located in the "col-
ony' of oil warehouses and tanks whicn
were segregated on the outskirts of the
city after the explosion in 1915. The
Palacne warehouse and system is be-
yond a doubt the cleanest kept ana
neatest appearing of them all.
1t is equipped with all modern safety
Gevices, and very little loss is sustained
through evaporation or other causes,
que to the capable manner in which 1t
is managed.
1t is interesting to note that when the
Palaclne company made its headquar-
ters here, 1t resulted in the addition to
Ardmore's progressive citizenship Of at
least four families, all of whom pur-
chased homes in this city.

PURCELL WHOLESALE GROCERY
HAS ENJOYED SPLENDID SUCCESS
NITS ARDMORE BRANCH HO

From one small store building on
North Caddo street, with limited sup
ply of goods, but with a large supply
OF optimism, to four large we'll stock
ed store buildings located in close prox-
nifty to the first one, and with a ware.
house crammed to the eyes with mer-
chandise that is being constantly
turned over" by a corps of hustling
statesmen is the record of the Purcell
Wholesale Grocery since its advent in.
to this city in 1913.
The success of this firm was not
achieved without a struggle. The
owners had to work hard for every ad-
vantage gained. but the fact that they
succeeded is attested by the constant
ly growing patronage enjoyed, and the
plans for expansion that will neces.
sarily follow this achievement
The Purcell Wholesale Grocery COM
pany was organized in Purcell, Okla
homa in 1906 by John l.. Alternately
who was the moving spirit in the en-
terprise. The house sent out two
salesmen on the road, one of whom
was the founder, and began to hustle
for business.
The efforts were successful, and bust.
ness began to expand, until the year
1913, when it was decided to establish
branch house in this city.
The first manager Of the local house
was Pres Steadman, now a successful
merchant Of Davis, who began to open
up this territory for the firm. When
Mr.. Steadman resigned to go in busi-
ness for himself he was succeeded by
NJ. 7. Craig who had charge until
1916 when he was succeeded by the
present manager, NJ. l.. Cochran.
Mr. Cochran came here in 1915 as
cashier, but after less than a year
in that position he was promoted to
general manager, a place he has oc-
cupied since.
Mr.. Cochran is extremely popular
with the firm, with the general public
and especially with all men under his
jurisdiction, he has watched with
pride the business expand to over six
times what it was when he took
charge, and the Ardmore house is
pressing the parent concern at Purcell
so hard Tor first honGS that 1t has
developed into a see-saw game for
supremacy.
When the house was established in
Ardmore one salesman took the road
and entered competition with other
and well established houses. Jim Nor
gan was the first knight of the sample
case to sell goods in the local ter.
ritory for the company, but it was not
long until business began to demand
an increase in the force and at present
four men are covering the territory.
They are. a. c. Wagner. who works
the city trade and covers Marietta;
Paul Scoggins. who covers the eastern
territory; II. G.. Cameron. who has the
oil field district, and Joe Williamson,
who works all inland towns.
