Believing in I lie Jcffcrsnjialu

the people declared for state-wldo pro

ture for enacting a law vitalizing and
supplementing lu a practical way the
constitutional provision relating to
prohibition and wo commend the
state administration for its vigorous
ami rigid enforcement of such laws,

Three Cent Gas for Factories
There is no reason in the world why Ardmore should not have 3-cent gas
to otfer to every manufacturing concern that will come to Ardmore. This is
the only requirement now lacking to give Ardmore every facility that builds
cities out of towns.
Natural gas experts have examined the Held southeast of the city and they
say natural gas exists there.
Poland & Anderson have a body of land lying south of the City park which
will be sold to tho people at $100 per lot. The lots are large and beautifully
located and worth more than the price asked for them.
But this is not all, the purchasers of these lots are members of a large
company who will spend $5,000 in sinking a test well on the property. If
gas is found every purchaser is an ctjual owner in the well. In the event
neither gas or oil is found each purchaser of a lot will be given his deed. .
Remember this one thing that the money you pay on your lot goes into the
fund to be used in sinking the well, no extra assessments will be made for
this purpose.
'J he proposition is safe, sane, fair and reasonable and one that may mean
a vast deal to the growth of Ardmore.
We want you to buy a lot. The terms are so easy that you will not miss
the money. A well 2500 feet will be sunk in two weeks after the machinery
is placed on the ground.
Lots $100 Each, $25.00 Cash, balance $12.50 per month.
