THE TRANSCRIPT—$1.00 the Year
The Coterie.
Educational Day was observed
by the Coterie Saturday after-
noon at the M. E. church. An in-
teresting program was given.
The papers dealt with education-
al subjects. Special music was
provided. The teachers and pa-
trons of the city schools were es-
pecially invited and they were
well represented at the meeting.
The piano solo by Miss Julia
Meier, the violin solo by Miss
Cora Higgins and the solos by
Mrs. Meier and Miss Lee were
appropriate and pleasing. Mrs.
\Y. C. Smith's paper on the "In-
fluence of Beautiful Surround-
ings," dealt with the subject from
an unique standpoint. She em-
phasized the value of teaching the
beauty of homely surroundings,
beauty of service, and the beauty
ot reverence, and In illustration
pointed out in a very helpful way
some of the beauties of Oklahoma
and the west which we often over-
look because we have not been
trained to observe beauty. Mrs.
L. A. Turley, in her paper, made
a very forcible plea for art work
in schools as a means of thought
expression and emphasized parti
cuiarlv the value of cooperation
between educational clubs and
the schools. Prof. II. II. Lane's
paper was enjoyed by all. It was
scholarly, but simple and sugges-
tive. His hints for nature study
were practical and sound. He
pointed out that nature stud\
now does not look for the strange
and fantastical but gives atten-
tion tn the common things around
us. Mr. Jesse Coffer gave a char-
acter sketch. In the discussion at
the close of the program Prof.
' Meier made some helpful remarks.
VALUES INCREASING IN NORMAN
PROPERTY. AND NUMEROUS
TRANSFERS.
INVESTORS LOOKING AROUND
New Residences Going Up Every Day
—Improvements Being Made on
Every Hand.
Transfers of property in Nor-
man and Cleveland county have
been quite numerous during the
past ten days, and values are
steadily increasing. Many strang-
ers are coming in, looking 'round
with a view of investing, and
investing. All that is necessary
to get them to invest is to take
The Transcript's advice and in-
vestigate our resources and future
probabilities. Everything looks
good for Norman and Cleveland
county, and all it needs to get
persons with money interested is
to get them to investigate. We've
sure got the goods. No point in
Oklahoma oers more certain and1
substantial investments than Nor-
man and Cleveland county.
Property, though comparative
ly cheap, is advancing in price,
and within another year may be
double the price it is selling for
today.
Every prospect in regard to
Norman certainly pleases.
Every man who wants a job is
being employed at good wages.
Every habitable house occupi-
ed at good rental.
Improvements being made on
every hand.
New residences being built
and more in prospect.
Property changing hands at
increased prices, and inquiries
increasing.
Norman's future progress and
greatness are based at present
on her fine schools, which by ab-
solute harmony and concert of
action have been brought up
to the highest standard of educa-
tional progress, and we believe
no country offers greater induce-
ments or possesses a better com-
bination of advantages than
Norman and the country sur-
rounding it. The necessaries of
life can be had in abundance
with but little exertion, and
snug fortunes are awaiting the
man of energy, brains and small
capital who will intelligently lie
vote his abilities to the growing
of the apple, the pear, the peach
and the grape in this land of
sunshine and promise. Surely
our unexcelled farming lands
yielding an abundance of diversi
fieil crops; our well organized,
well supported and well attended
churches; our splendid schools
and University, the pride of our
entire populace and the admira-
tion of the surrounding country ;
our magnificent business facili-
ties ; the universal purity of the
air; the healthfulness of the
climate; these make Norman and
Cleveland county a desirable
place of habitation for all good,
honest, lawabiding people.
The prospector or home-seeker,
visitor, tourist or chance arrival
meets with such courteous and
friendly reception here that
friendship for Norman and its
citizens is at once and forever
established.
—This Oklahoma weather is
simply ideal.
—"Doc" Cox has been having
an unlucky streak the past week.
Monday night he lost a fine 2-
year old colt that he had refused
$200 for, and Thursday night a
Jersey heifer calf was still-born.
He thinks the colt was poisoned,
but certainly Norman hasn't got
a man that mean and brutal.
—Mrs. Clara J. Burke has re-
signed her position in the Nor-
man postoffice, to take effect on
Nov. 1st. She has been in the
postoffice for some six years, and
thinks she lias earned a rest. She
will be succeeded by her son,
Ed II Burke. On December 1st
all the clerks in the Norman of-
fice, including the assistant post-
master, go under civil service
rules, so that administrations
may come and go but they'll go
<m forever, or as long as they are
efficient and do their work right.
W e say it without fear of con-
tradiction that no postoffice in
I (iklahoma has a better or more
courteous or more efficient set of
clerks than the Norman uffice.
and under the new rules their
i work will be even better, for ef-
ficiency and thoroughness counts
I more under civil service than
I under the personal selection of
clerks,
TRADE WITH
HOME PEOPLE
EVERY DOLLAR SPENT IN NOR-
MAN HELPS TO SUPPORT HER
ENTERPRISES.
PROTECT HOME INDUSTRIES
Patronize Home Merchants and Local
Enterprises -Keep Norman Mon-
ey iu Norman.
The importance of this fact is
not fully realized by those who
should know best. Every dollar
spent in Norman helps the city
to prosper, and in return helps
the surrounding country to pros-
per. One of the menaces to the
prosperity of such communities
as Norman and Cleveland coun-
ty, is the effect of catalogue
houses who influence purchasers
to patronize them instead of
home merchants. Such is also the
case here, to some extent, with
Oklahoma City. Not only are
farmers and their families invit-
ed to trade away from home, but
residents of the town and busi-
ness men themselves and their
families are solicited to send their
cash afar off to aid in building up
some other community and tear
down their own.
To a certain extent we are all
socialists, and cannot live with-
out each other; we must help
one another. Foreign business
houses or catalogue establish-
ments do not take the farmer's
produce in exchange for their
goods, they pay nothing toward
the support of the home schools,
churches or highways, they pay ;
no taxes here. They will not ex-
change, extend credit or trust in
cases of need and they never help
the sick or unfortunate; they
never sympathize in time of
trouble, they never subscribe to-
ward public enterprises or enter
tainments and never, in any way.
help to build up the country from
which they draw their support.
When you buy from a mail or-
der house you simply take their
word for each statement they
make. You are attracted at the
low price of the article, and never
take into consideration the fact
that the workmanship is inferior,
the fabric or weave is coarse or
that the article is the least bit out
of date and is rejected by the
best buyers of the country. If
you will be honest enough to
compare the goods you will find
that the home merchant sells
goods just as cheap with your
freight bill saved. You visit your
home merchant's store and ask
him to show you a pair of good
shoes of the very latest style.
You find that they run in price
from $2.25 to $5.00. You tell him
you wanted the very best, hence
he didn't show you his line of
cheap goods. You went home and
searched the catalogue and found
you could get a pair of shoes,
your exact number for $1.75. Of
course you have not seen these
shoes, but you are going to or-
der them, taking for granted
they are equal in every way to
the $5.00 shoes your local dealer
showed you yesterday. In this
case both yourself anil your lo-
cal dealer has lost money, be-1
cause he had the same shoes at
$1.25, but you would'nt ask to j
see them. There are merchants
in this town who will duplicate
any order from the catalogues
and save you the freight bill. This
has been demonstrated and will
continue to be so, if you will only
give them a chance.
Every order sent to the cata-
logue house, or every dollar
spent away from home lessens
the value of your property and
weakens your town's progress
just that much. If every person
in this town were to buy their
supplies elsewhere what would
become of Norman with all her
churches, institutions of learning
and various enterprises? What
would city property and farm
land be worth? On the other
hand, if every body in a radius
of 40 miles were to do their trad-
ing here what would become of
Norman? In the course of a very
short time she would be a young
New York, or a Chicago, or a
St. Louis, and city property and
farm land would advance in price
| with leaps and bounds and soon
I stand at almost a prohibitive
I price.
So, the necessity of trading at
; home is clearly seen. \\ e are all
neighbors and should work to-
j gether for the common good of
I all. Let tis resolve to hereafter
co-operate with each other and—
Keep Norman money in Nor-
man.
