First Ardmore Paper is Found
Copy of Daily Advertiser of Thirty Years Ago Told of 24 Pounds of Sugar
for One Dollar

A relic of the early days of Ardmore is a copy of the "Ardmore Daily
Advertiser", claiming as being the first daily paper published in the
Indian Territory, embracing an area of 31,000 square miles, is in the
possession of Mrs. Arthur Walcott.
The date of the paper is May 10, 1892, exactly 30 years ago today. The
motto is "Brevity is the Soul of Wit", thus explaining its dimunitive
size and urging its advertisers to be brief in their ads. Some familiar
names are read including that of Dr. A. E. ADAMS, J.C. THOMPSON, W.B.
JOHNSON, Lee CRUCE and others. One particular item which brings back
days of the long ago is an ad which reads "24 pounds of sugar for $1."
C.B. BRADLEY was editor and publisher.
