full reflection that is upon the civic pride of our
people.
If Ardmore merchants did not cater to Il
high class trade. if the goods sold here were not
in line with the fastidious markets elsewhere,
there might be reason for trading elsewhere.
If the merchants here asked exhorbitant prices
for their stuff there might be reason-but neith-
er of these two contingencies exists Women
who visit other cities tell us that merchants here
have as high class goods as can be found in
Eastern centers and that in large measure
the prices asked as entirely reasonable.
The most selfish thing we can do is to trade
at home. The dollar that is spent here stays in
circulation here. It enters the arteries of busi-
ness helping every one of us. The merchant
pays part of it for taxes to maintain schools
and roads. Part of it stays in the bank, where

Third; From standpoint of purely in
terest people Of this section should trade where
their money will remain at home. Trading with
firms in Dallas, Oklahoma City or Fort Worth
means that money goes away to help build
churches schools, roads ETC., it enables people
of interest or acquaintance to to fatten
their pocket books.
Ardmore cannot be built into the splendid
city that God Almighty intended that it should

Today the Ardmoreite presents to the people
OF Southern Oklahoma a section devoted entirely
to the business interests of this city. 1t makes
appeal in this section for an increase in the
trade at home spirit. based upon the fact that
Ardmore offers good goods in hundred Of lines,
and based upon the further fact that this city is
the logical trade center of the vast territory
surrounding it.
There are three reasons primarily why peo-
pie of Ardmore and the surrounding territory
should trade in Ardmore
First: The business firms here modern and
progressive, deserve your business
Second: close study of prices offered
proves conclusively that business interests here
are able to make good if not little better
prices than any other business groups elsewhere
and we refer largely here to mail order houses
whose lureful price tags rarely ever Justify the
articles offered.

Home investments Offer
Real Security to Folks
Who liue in Ardmore

The bankers OF Ardmore estimate
that between seven and eight million
dollars worth Of government bonds were
purchased by Ardmore citizens during
the war. Just what proportion of these
bonds is now held by the original in.
vestors is purely matter Of conjecture
The records at the courthouse show
that there are at least two and one.half
million dollars of mortgages on Ardmore
business and residence real estate held
by foreign concerns on which Ardmore
citizens are paying 10 per cent per an
mum or a total of $3.50, 1000 every year.
II all the bonds originally bought have
been sold except two and one.half mil.
lion and they are bearing from four
total Income on those bonds would be
around 100000. The difference in tho
amount Of money received on the bonds
by Ardmore citizens and the amount
OF interest paid to foreign loan compan-
les BY Ardmore citizens is in the neigh
borhood of $3.50, 900 and this means that
Ardmore Is losing $l50,000 every year

BOSTON. Sept 23.-Now that the

at that rate, or the clothing wools.'
How the "clean pound content" was to
be determined has been a much mooted
question in the trade. for IL would be
a long drawn out process 20 scour the
wool Of each importer 10 find out the
shrinkage. The government does not
wish to do il, and at conference be-
tween representatives OF the Woo! I'M

The general approval OF hte importers.

previously been made and there is no
disagreement between the importer and
the government, 90 per cent of the wool
may be withdrawn.
Most Of the wools in bond on which
the duty was less under the emergency
tariff than under the permanent tariff
are understood to be withdrawn. Those
who have East India woods on the way
from England will be unfavorably Rf
fected by the new tariff Under the
emergency tariff there was no duty on
East India and NIL other carpet woods.
but the present bill requires a duty OF
l2 cents pound in the grease. ls cents
wasahed and - cents secured. If used
for carpet purposes, and proof is shown
that they have, after three years, the
duty may be refunded If they are
used for any other purpose than for
floor covering 90 cents IA pound must
be paid in addition to the duties above.
Nearly all OF the East India woods we're
bought for clothing purposes, and the
importers do not relish the situation.
The Near East embroglio will affect
the situation If troubles there should
continue any length of time. Greece,
the Balkan States and Asia Minor ship
considerable quantities of carpet woods
to this country and military operations
are liable TO interfere with their ex-
portation.
