Special Service,

Service Long Considered Ne
cessity Between 2 Towns
VIII Begin Tuesday

Official announcement was
made Saturday by local represen-
tatives OF the Frisco thJd motor
car service over the Frisco will
be established Tuesday TO connect
Tulsa and Bristow.
Tho schedule for this motor
car has not yet been determined.
but probably will be announced
Monday. according to Il. u. Car
ter. local agent for the Frisco.
IL is planned to make at least two
and possibly three round trips
daily. This service will be in ad-
dition TO that already provided
by regular trains.
Adequate train service between
Tulsa and Bristow has been
sought by both OF these cities as
well as by intervening towns for
several years. Bristow citizens
especially have complained that
the present Frisco service makes
II almost impossible for them TO
come to Tulsa and spend the day,
returning home In the evening.
With the addition of the motor
car II will be possible for oil men
to make the trip between these
cities with ease during daylight
hours. shoppers also will find
the new service a great convent
ence in reaching Tulsa and re-
turning home without long waits.
with the bringing in Of n num-
her OF big oil wells in the Bristow
field. the travel OF oil men be-
tween Tulsa and Bristow has In
creased pronouncedly and has
made quick trips more frequent.
