AMERICAN BUSS CASKET, VONDER OF THE ABE
.^MERICAN GLASS CASKET COMPANY is now making glass
■ caskets. If you have not investigated the stock proposition of this
company you should do so at once. Ninety-four percent of the under-
takers of Oklahoma have approved of this casket by purchasing stock. If
you want to invest your money in a “winner,” buy while you can. All stock
is common and non-assessable. No one person can vote over 5 percent of
the capital stock of the corporation. The capacity of the factory is 500 cas-
kets every 24 hours. The death rate in our exclusive territory is 180,000
per year. This casket, sells in competition with wooden caskets. We aver-
age $10.00 profit on each casket. Besides caskets we are making nearly all
other glass articles made. We also own the entire United States rights for
the manufacture and sale of the Vitrous Floor and Wall Tile. Glass caskets
besides being the newest are the most necessary thing in life, at its finis.

The electric light plant has been giv-
ing twenty hours service during the
gloomy days of this week. Negotia-
tions looking to continuous service of
current are pending. It’s the ‘proper
caper,” let’s encourage it. It would
better the light service, in that there
would be no stopping and starting of
machinery, thus mediumizing power
and perfecting current. It would also
give our town motor-power service and
the health preserving electric fan in
stirring the fetid airduring the six long
week of August.
Business seems to be humming at
the French garage. W e note that an-
other expert workman has been added

The Shannon Garage building on
north Cherry street is nearly finished.
All that now remains is the installing
of a few minor details in the workshops
at the rear and the placing the tanks
and pumping plant in front In a few
days the Journal office will have a cut
showing the building complete. And
right here we insinuate that we are
proud of this building and its tremen-
dous capacity, It is a garage building
that any city in the state would feel
proud of.
The wise woman asks for no other
but always for “Pride of Perry”
now a soldier boy at the camp. It is
said of Harry, here at home, that he
is making every preparation to be in
style when he reaches France. AH
remember Harry as rather given to
embonpoint and geniality, but the
story maker says he is now as trim-
waisted and “willowy” as the moat
fastidious French waiting maid. How-
ever, we venture he’ll remain the same
genial Harry, fat or lean,
Postmaster Jennings and his assist-
ant are having quite a run on parcel
mail. Handling a postoffice is at no
time the “soft-snap” of the world, but
in war times, with several million sol-
dier boy’s Chritmas mail to handle ad-
ditionally, the postoffice becomes a
busy mart. Mr. Jennings is giving
every attention to efficient work, and
should have the assistance and coope-
ration of the people. Write addresses
plainly and in full. Wrap parcel bun-
dles compactly and securely and as far
as possible assist your postmaster in
their handling. He'll appreciate it.
Charlie Justice the ieweler at the
Central Drug Store, has some really
valuable and “recherche” Christmas
jewely displayed in his show window.
The intrinsic value of a jewelry gift
should appeal to all, for the money in-
vested is value received for a life time
However, the jewelry in the window is
only a sample-glimpse at the big and
well-chosen stock which you can look
through if you step inside and intimate
that “you came from Missouri.” You
wil1 see watch, ring, stud and button
that would grace any fair one, and at
a price your Christmas gift allowance
will easily reach. Charlie has one of
the largest value-giving stocks of jew-
elry in Payne county, and we would
like to have any of our readers prove
to us that this is a misstatement.
GREAT
Christmas Display
We are compelled for lack of
space, to leave out a number of
Sata Clause letters from our
school children together with a
number of country correspond-
ence, and much interesting mat-
ter of war interest. We have
copy for about thirty-five pages,
and with only four pages of room

We feel sure you will not find a more beau-
tiful and a more up-to-date Christmas Display in
this part of Oklahoma.
We did our best to make our display attract-
ive, and in our buying the most of our Christ-
mas Goods, we got something useful as well as
attractive. We are in a position to furpish the
entire family with what they need, as well as
