The Depew Independent September 3, 1920 Josh Lee Here Last Night An appreciative audience listened to a fine program at the church last night. For an hour and a half Mr. Lee kept the audience in an uproar. The audience was favored with a couple of songs by Miss Blanche Fogle which showed the young lady possessed a fine talent. From a financial standpoint the affair was a success and in the near future we expect to have Mr. Lee return when we will promise him a larger audience. ----- Another New Store The Globe people after renting the Pierson Hotel building backed down and gave up their contract, after Mrs. Pierson had the interior painted and the building prepared for them. Yesterday Mr. L. E. Bowman and August King formed a partnership and have rented the building and will open up a general merchandise store in it as soon as their goods arrive. ----- New Cement Bridge Contractor Chas. Carson has just completed a fine bridge across the ravine just north of the big gas well on the road leading south from town. This is something that will be appreciated by those traveling over the road. ----- Building Fine Home Contractor A. G. Utter is building a 4 room bungalo for H. R. Corey on Ladd Avenue. Work will be rushed on this job and the house will be ready for occupancy in a very short time. ----- H. Schiller and J. H. Grantham have bought 10 lots just south of the Church and are intending to build five houses on them. They have part of the material on the ground for the first one and will start to work to build in a few days. ----- J. H. Cooper is putting up a chillie and hamburger joint on the west side of the old Independent building.

Webb Arrowood’s fine home is nearing completion. It is an ornament to the southwest part of town. ----- Will Handle School Books You will not have to go to other towns this year to get school books. After trying in vain to get someone to handle school books the writer was persuaded to handle them. Prof. Norvell went down to Oklahoma City Tuesday and ordered them. We will also handle tablets, pencils, ink, crayons, pen holders, etc. ----- New Well South of Depew The Pulaski Oil company has a well in the southeast corner of northeast of sec. 3-14-8 that is flowing regularly every half hour through 1,200 feet of water. The total depth is 2,539-the sand being first encountered at 2,474. They are moving the boiler back and getting ready to set the six inch casing. No estimate has been made on the well as yet, as it is impossible to place same on gauge until the water condition is overcome. North of town of Depew, the same company is down 840 feet on the Lydia Hardhoche allotment in the northeast of the west half of the southwest of 31-16-8. Wilcox company’s No. 1 Wiley Kelly in the southeast of the west half of the southeast of 35-16-8 is drilling at 2,435 feet and have a chance to get the Wheeler sand at 2600 feet or the Peru sand at 2700 feet. On the Amos farm in the southwest corner of the southeast of 34-16-8 they are rebuilding the rig recently destroyed by fire. They are now at a total depth of 2160 feet. Tulsa World ----- Building and Loan Enthusiasm Still Working Monday evening Van D. Stout and Mr. Wood, of Bristow drove to Depew, as stated in last week’s Independent. We regret that so few were out to hear what he had to say about a build and loan association. Mr. Stout has been Secretary of the Bristow Building & Loan Association for the past 11 years and is thoroughly qualified to disseminate information along that line. A program was mapped out and a solicitor will make the rounds in a few days getting the names and to be taken by the citizens of the town. It is going to be organized and will be a success. Make up your mind how many you can take.
