OUTSIDE firms
MAKE BIDS FOR
new LOCATIONS
Twelve Applications Have
Been Received by Rail-
ways; Santa Fe is Able
to Furnish Sites.
DEVELOPMENTS WAIT
TEST OF BROCK FIELD
Ardmore is Logical Place For
Companies Because of Great
Facilities, Claim.

Twelve applications have been made
to railroads running into Ardmore for
properties on their trackage for the
erection of warehouses and supply
houses, II became known here this
morning.
Seven of the applications have been
made to the Santa Fe, according TO
r.. J.. Evans, agent. Property can be
furnished by the railroads, Mr.. Evans
said, with little changing OF tracks.
Some of the sites are most desirable
and near the center of the business
district, he intimated.
The remaining five are in the hands
Of the Ringing road, Frisco and the
Rock Island, 1t Is said. Just which
roads holds the major number could
not be ascertained
Awaits Test Of Fields
All OF these developments depend or
the final testing Of the Amerada- Brock
pool If the field proves to be sue
cessful the companies will not hesi
tate in making their investments, II
is said. On the other hand, some OF
the companies may not come here un
less the field shows up excellently.
1t is understood that several com
panies are making bids for property
at Lone Grove because OF the prox
unity TO the field. In the belief Of
some business men, these companie,
can be brought to Ardmore If prop
erty can be secured at reasonable
, figures.
Evans II Optimistic
Agent Evans Of the Santa Fe has
most optimistic view of the situa
ton. II the field prives right this cit,
will become "the Tulsa of Southern
Oklahoma" he says The supply com
panes win invest hundreds of thous
ands OF dollars in this section in i'm
provement and the traffic will b'
multiplied greatly.
That Ardmore Is the logical place
for such a supply center is advo
Gated by nearly every citizen voicinl
their opinions. Ardmore has ever!
facility TO take care Of numerous com
panies and is able to stand create
expansion.
