The first series of this Ftock will be ofTcrel at pur $50 per share, fully paid and non-assesslhle. The history of co-oeratIve chain cash stories Is one of unbounded success, as best evidence by such concerns as Kress Co., Woolworth Co., KersaKe- & Co.. McClary, Duke & Avers, Kuette 4 Co, American Stores Co.. Sears Roebuck Co., all national In their op erations. In Texas and Louisiana we have the Illustration of what local chain stored can accomplish. In the fnlted Cash Stoies of Dallas that have built from one to twenty-jlKht. The Star Cash has had a Rieater growth, havinK now 48 stores or more In operation, anil all making money, as are the Cash tores of Waco, San Antonio, Austin, H juston and other locations. The Nel sons of New Orleans In a few years have grown from one larite downtown (vish store to 63 stores. Tlie Atlnnta. wealth from the further development of the some Is assured. .Thl will make of Ardmore one of the largest cltleg of the southwest, and still further enhance the succss of the American Cash Grocery Stores Company. The Importance of economical buyinR creates a demand for the establishment of a chain cash stores company In this rich and rapidly Browing section of Oklahoma to' meet the requirements of those who recoKnlxe the saving due to csh buying. The Amerlciin Cash Gro cery Stores Company will meet that demand. The alacrity with which the buying public accepted our cash system and the extraordinarily liberal patronace extended u. Insures the success of the company here, while the urgent request from other localities for the establish ment of similar stores in their communi ties, doubly insures large volume of bus iness and consequent Increase of earn ing power. It is currently reported that one chain rrocery company saved more than $40,000 last year upon Its pur chases; similar savings may be mud by this company under its system of buy ing. Officers and employes will b- plnced under bond and the affairs of the com pany regularly audited, thereby insuring strict business methods and corrfct re turns to the stockholders. $100 invested In the Chal-' " ' ' ores for five weeks ending March 31, 1917, are reported to have amounted to $9, 623,698, or an Increase of $3.1189.824. or fiS per cer.t. Many other Illustrations from other similar companies are given in the same article, which says: "In spite of food shortage, the high cost of living and the wave of econ omy sweeping the country, the leading I tea and grocery companies report a large Increase of business. The same 18 true of the five nnd ten-cent stores." It Is reported that the Mercantile Syndicate of Ixiulsiana made an Increase of 60O per cent In Its vol ume of busuwiw, and with some 22 stores, realized a prollt of over 20 per cent In five months' business. It Is also reported that one of the small chain stores In. Texa turned Its stock in 1916, 23 times and made more than 100 per cent profit on Its Investment. It Is currently reported that another system of chufn cash grocery stores in Texas paid, last year, a 40 per cent cash divi dend and doubled its number of stores. To succeed requires only co-operation with the- ideal headquarters for a system of cash stores. All that is now required to Insure the success of this Institution Is the co-operation of those vitally Interested, first In the upbuilding of Ardmore; seconil. in the economical buying of merchandise.

Co-Operative Chain Cash Stores have invariably been a great success wherever operated. Affording the two most desirable elemers sought by those who desire to Invest for income, viz: that of safety and profit. Safe because founded on sound busi ness principles that of buying for cash and selling for cash.

An average of 10 per cent to 20 per cent on every dollar purchased means a big per cent on the investment. Means a nulek turnover of merchandise; , means a big profit to the Investors. Can 1 you afford not to invest If It means you '"ail to have the system of cash stoics J In your own community? Will you avail yoi-rseir or mis opionuniiy or proru sharing. The Financial Age and Investment and Ranking World gives an astound ing record of some of these chain stores In Its publication of December 16, 1916. where it says: "Chain stores, smalt priced merchandise in a few years ha all under one managerial expense, one office expense. No bookkeeping, except at headquarters, or bad debts, delivery expense reduced to the minimum. These are some of the most Important con tributing factors to the safety and profit of this company. Profitable, because their small profit and quick turnover Insures the large volume of busines. and It Is the large volume that makes the large dividends.
