Furniture Store of Oklahoma City
Docs Not Care Whether '« he
University City Does Wen
A huge furniture • an of the U >c
and Bill company of Oklahoma City
is beginning to make it-; regular ap
pearance on Norman s:&&ets. It 1
a common sight.
Norman has two furniture stores
whostfc quality stocks of home furn-
ishings are unsurpassed in Oklaho-
ma. The owners of these two hon es
are all good men and genial people
to do business with. Their latch
strings are always out.
These two furniture stores pay
large amounts in taxes each year.
These taxes help to pay for the
cfhurches, the schools, the govern
meijt, the sidewalks, paved streets
and all of the public improvements
of Norman and Cleveland county.
They Are Interested.
The men behind these stores are
interested in the best welfare and
best interests of all citizens. They
themselves get behind every move-
ment for the public's good and give
willingly of their time and energy
to promote it to success. They al-
ways are ready to go to their limit
for public charities and local drives
of all kinds. They are vitally inter-
ested in Cleveland county and Nor-
man. Are Doc and Bill?
These Norman men offer you fur-
niture just as good or better, on bet-
ter terms and at better prices. Fur-
niture here is cheaper than furniture
when you buy it in Oklahoma City.
Many people buy furniture buy fur-
niture away from home in order to
be able to say "I got it in city."
Earn It In City.
A brand of talk like that t
get you anywhere. False is
one of the greatest liabilities any-
one can possibly have. Spend your
money at home where it does the
most good. Spend it with the peo-
ple who will spend it to help rou and
yours. Spend it where it v.il come
back to you. If you must ^ spend
your money in Oklahoma City GO
TI IK RE AND EARN IT—we don't
need you.
We call your attention to the sta-
tement made by Mr and Mrs. W. E.
Hoskinson of Oklahoma City who
came to Norman Monday and filled
their car with groceries at Tubb's—
''We can buy here much more cheap
ly than we can in Oklahoma City."
Norman merchants offer you all
the advantages and Norman mer-
chants are paying their quota of the
expenses to keep this city going.
Norman doesn't need and doesn't
want the class of people who do
their buying in other cities.

JOURNALISM SCHOOL
ADVERTISES NORMAN
To Back Up Publicity Citizens
Should Get Busy and Give the
City the Best Appearance.
Several good ideas for the beautifi-
cation of Norman have been received
by the Civic oommittee. Some of them
are good and practical and others are
not. Norman has the best opportunity
in the state to make an attractive city
noted for its civic attractiveness.
The prize contest being conducted
by the Civic ' imittee should be
taken mor? "nest than some of
the c: . to be taking it.
Score: undreds of suggestions
.should a.led in to the committee.
There are many places in Norman
which could be made an attractive
spot by a little "touching up" if only
ne cominitte knew of it.
It ii impossible for them to know
of all the present unattractive loca-
tions. Norman must undergo a trans-
formation in the next very few weeks.
By the middle of April she must ap-
pear as a beautiful, well-kept city.
Goes Out on Every Mail.
Guests of the local social and busi-
ness clubs, talent to cot. e to the uni-
versity, athletic teams and track and
field meet visitors by the thousands
all will be guests of The University
City this spring.
News of the University of Oklaho-
ma and news of The University City
goes out on every mail and every night
on the wire to papers all over the
country, telling of the advantages of
going to school here, and advertising
directly and indirectly Norman and
the university. This is a feature of the
school of journalism of which few citi-
zens know.
Norman must be in tip-top shape.
She must be in her best dress. Adver-
tising without the goods behind it is
worse than none at all. Norman is
going to deliver. To see that she
does, send in that suggestion to help
her now. Send it to the Civic commit-
tee, care Daily Transcript. There's $5
waiting for someone.

Dollars On Deposit.

citizens of Norman and Cleveland
and McClain counties, the First Xat-
iontl bank this morning started bus
iness tender a new set oi books,
showing an increase in capital of
$50,000, and the same amount of in-
crease in surplus funds.
With deposits of over a million
dollars, an increase of half a million
in the past year, the officers and di-
rectors decided on the increase.
The First National hank is the
oldest and largest bank in Cleveland
county. Always has it been a factor
in the growth and prosperity of the
city and county, aiding the farmers
in years when they most needed help
and pulling Norman citizens through
days when the sun failed to rise.
A Good Set of Men.
The officers and directors of the
bank are all straight-forward, plea-
sant and conservative business men,
always anxious to protect the best
interests of their customers and in-
sure the welfare of the county and
city at large.
Officers of the bank are E. B.
JLphnson, president; Phil C. Kidd,
vice-president; Wm. Synnott, cash
ier, Bert Baggett and E. H. Stubb
eman, assistant cashiers. The direc-

NF* PAVING PETITION
SENT 0U1 BY C. OF C,
Member of Board of Directors Ap-
pears Before Members For
First Time Since Election.
Twenty-five or morc members of
the Chamber of Commerce attended
the weekly luncheon of the chamber
at the Sooner confectionery today.
E. L. Cralle, member of the hoard
of directors, was called upon for a
fcalk after dinner and responded
with interesting and encouraging
words.
Mr. Cralle emphasized the impor-
tance of advertising Norman as a
home and residence city, laying spe-
cial stress upon the school facilities
of the city.
It is his theory, he said, that Nor-
man should not go after the factor-
ies and enterprises of that sort, be-
cause of the fact that Norman could
not furnish suitable homes for the
class of people who follow such lines
of work. Negroes, Italians and
cheap laborers are not desirable cit-
izens, he said, although he did not
discourage efforts trt bring such in-
dustries here, but emphasized that
Norman's best points were her most
sanitary, cleanest and best morally of
any Oklahoma city.
It was reported by City Manager
Gater that the petition for the grav-
eling of East Main street from the
end of the present paving to the
state hospital had gotten well over
the necessary number of signers.
F. F. Fitch was appointed chair-
man of a committee to take out a
petition to pave Classen boulevard
as far as Miller avenue.
