Accordingly, at about 10 a. m. last!
Sunday m jrning, without any warn-
ing, their children, and their chil-j
dren'schildren, and their daughter-
in-law and their sons-in-law began to
drive in until the house was full, and j
likewise the yard. About this time,
the bride and Igroom or about tony I

was had by all.
Those present were: C. W. Blakes- j

and Mr. Collins and E. W. Blakesley

Tlte surprise was complete and j
thoroughly enjoyed by both surprised

LUMBER and PAINTS
Having bought of the Carey-Lombard Lumber Co.
their long established lumber business in Mul-

mers, as well as the cus'omerswlio have formerly
patronized the "Carey" with the assurance that
we arc prepared to show a stock of
Building Material, Not Surpassed In Size,
Quality or Price In Oklahoma.
While we shall maintain the two yards, the whole
will be under the Management of Walter Joyce
and you will receive the same courteous treat-
ment at eitner yard.
Remember this combination does not mean an ad-
vance on prices, indeed you will find in many
lines a material reduci ion. This will be the case
especially in our line of Paints, we finil we are
overstocked and we will make such a reduction
as will make it to your interes to inquire.
Thanking one and all for past patronage, we assure
you of fair treatment in the future.
