A BOOIVilING TOWN
SPARKS FAST ASSUMING METRO-
POLITAN AIRS AND PROPOR-
TIONS.
Possibly no one town in the history
of Oklahoma or any place else pre-
sents the unique and unparalleled his-
tory as that of Sparks. This city was
platted by the Fort Smith and Western
and the Eastern Oklahoma townsite
companies, the town being at the Junc-
tion of the Fort Smith and Western
and the Eastern Oklahoma railway
companies.
The first sale of lots in this enter-
i prising town took place at the open-
ing of the townsite In August last. The
sale of lots progressed so rapidly that
: it was only a short time until the orig-
inal townsite was all still and it be-
i came necessary to plat additions to it.
i This has been done and lots in the new
'addition are now on sale by .ae town-
•site companies named above.
( Sparks is located in one of the most
fertile spots of Lincoln county, and the
I unprecedented s-ale of lots is ample
j proof of tho faith of the people in the
x I future of the city.
