ARDMORE- RON TIRE
AND RUBBER COMPANY:
HAVE B| c CONTRACTS
FOR THE YEAR 1921

In direct contradiction to the pessi.
mistic claims of financial depression
the following report from the Ardmore-
Akron Tire and Rubber Company, sub.
mitted by Arthur Wood, vice presi-
dent of the company will be of great
interest to the people of Ardmore:
I'VE have closed the following con-
tracts with reliable jobbers and dealers
to handle our tires.
w. & w Battery supply Company,
Ozark. Mo-, $500
j. l.. Fitzgerald Rubber Company,
Springdale. Arkansas, $4,000.
Richmond Tire and Repair Co., Rich.
mond, Mo-, $4,000.
Ardmore Tire and Rubber Co, Jop-
lin, Mo, $40, 900.

This gives us a net total OF con
tracts to date of $4,000 We have
several other large contracts that have
possibly been signed by this time,
which will soon bring our business to
well over the million dollar mark for
the year 1921.
I'VE are adding experienced men to
our force each day. In order to take
care of this enormous business we
will have to increase our force TO pos
siby over a hundred men.
The writer wishes to advise that
while many people have been skepti
cal as TO business conditions in gen.
eral, we are securing our business
much easier than we had anticipated
and we are finding that many Of the
larger tire jobbers are expecting 0
very good volume Of business for 1921
and are specifying their wants accord
ingly.
Yours very truly.

SELVIDGE HOME
FROM STATE MEET
OKLAHOMA CITY

G. p. Selvidge has returned from
Oklahoma City, where he attended
the meeting of the Executive Com
mittee of the State League of
Building and Loan associations.
Mr.. Selvidge stated that the re-
ports showed that all the. associations
of the state have made splendid
growth during the year and taken
as a whole the associations have al
most doubled their assets during the
past twelve months.
These institutions during the last
year helped to build several thou
sand homes, thereby adding several
millions to the taxable values of Ok
lahoma; encouraged people all over
the state TO practice systematic saw
ing, thereby adding several millions
to the substantial wealth Of Oklaho-
ma. Wealth acquired by saving is
seldom lost" Mr.. Selvide continued.
Building and Loan Associations are
becoming more popular every day and
this popularity is eminently justified
by the results achieved by the asso-
citation.
