.AVIATORS HAVE
DEVELOPED ART
IN SOUTHWEST
Complete Hangar and Four
Ships Serve to Put the
City on Proposed
Postal Route.

Ardmore probably has made more
progress in aviation than any other
city in similar size in the United
States.
Arthur Oakley and Dorsey Askew
came to Ardmore in the early spring
oof 1921 with one remodeled Canuck
plane. After overcoming many obstac-
les in their attempt TO interest
the citizens Of Ardmore they sue
ceeded in inducing Johnny Harrell Of
the Oklahoma Drug company to help
them In securing an aviation field and
building hangar.
Ardmore now ranks first in the
southwest in aviation with new
hangar and four planes ready for
flight at q moments notice.
DIT. Walter Hardy was interested
by Oakley and Askew in using a
plane In calling on his patients. Or.
Hardy purchased n plane recently
and uses 1t almost exclusively in long
distance trips. especially Is it used in
emergency cases, sending the plane
for the patient and bringing him
10 the hospital.
City on Postal Route
In the establishing OF this field.
Ardmorc has placed herself in line
for further development OF airplane
transportation. 1t is expected that
during the coming year the postal
department will establish southern
route with Ardmore as one Of its
regular stopping places.
Mr.. Oakley Is now in Houston Tex
as, making arrangements for the pur-
chase OF some larger engines and ex.
poets upon his return to Ardmore 10
begin at once the construction Of a
6-passenger plane which when com
pleted will be put In daily service
between Ardmorc and Oklahoma City.
and Ardmore and Dallas.
Oakley and Askew expect 10 estab.
lish the manufacture of airplanes and
the sale Of them from Ardmore.
Training School Here
About the first OF March the Ard
moro troining school for nilots will
opcn with Oakley and Askew as in
sirucfors. A number of local men
and some from other cities have sig.
nified their intentions Of attending.
The fact that these men have made
approximately 1000 flights from Ard.
more during the past year without
accident OF any kind, has attracted
the attention OF men who wish to en-
gage in this work. and who feel they
prefer taking instruction under men
who regard safety with more import
ance than stunt flying.
