The following remarks from
a business man of Bixby, are
well said and are the sentiment
of all true business men who
desire the town in which they
may be located to amount to
anything. There are men
in busineshere who should read
and not only ponder the fol-
lowing well, but emulate his
( Ximple:
"Why," said he, "if 1 knew
th it my ad was deriving me no
$;ood in die way of drawing
tr ide, I should advertise any-
way. We don't know who
will read or see the paper, or
hen. The newspaper voices
1 ae town. It speaks where no
one else can, and tells of the
beauties and good things of the
town in their many and varied
forms. And, above all. by
glancing over a paper and scan
Ming the advertising columns
•is much, and even more can be
learned concerning the busi-
ness capacity, thrift and enter-
prise of both the town and the
business men, than by a per-
sonal visit. Without a paper
the' town is a dead one, and
likewise, without the support
of the town the paper is a drag.
I wouldn'thave the paper come
out, so long as I am in busi-
ness, without my advertise-
ment .appearing in it. I am
here for business and I want
everybody to know it whether
they live hfere, in the states, or
are passing through on the.
train. I believe the paper
does more for the town than
any other institution. 1 want
the paper to live and the town
to grow, and if they do, I shall
try to get my share of the
patronage."
The followingexcerpt is from
the columns of the Industrial
Review :
"It begins to be evident to
all that the coming year will be
the greatest in the history of
the territory and possibly for
all time in the matter of indus-
trial growth and development
and determining the status of
the commercial centers of the
territory. The changes te be
made by the mighty influx of
people, industries and capital
will be little short of revolution
ary, and the extent of fixed
growth and the extent of the
impetus that growth will exer-
cise in the future of towns will
be fir-reaching and permanent.
While the whole territory will
expand in trade interests and
all the towns will grow in popu
lation and size, the uplift of
some towns into head-and-
shoulder prominence will place
them in the lead to the extent
that no subsequent movement
will endanger their supremacy.
"Advantages and resources
and railroad facilities will count
much in securing recognition,
and personal effort of th« citi-
zens of the town will count for
as much more. The town that
sits down during the next
year in the history of the terri
tory with the expectation that
things will come its way, will
wake up to see itself irrevo-
cably behind and handicapped
in the race.

now on in the territories, and
