Do you really think that any business man, from a busi-
ness standpoint actually gives you anything tiee.
This is a question that will bear investigation. You
can very easily determine the facts in the case by a little
10,11'Last Saturday a certain lady came to town and pur-
chased 5 yards of 36 inch wool dress goods at 50c per yard.
Alter making the purchase she dropped into another store
to V,.,. a friend ami ipon enquiry iound the same identical
grade and pattern of dress goods on sale at regular price 30c.
The store selling the dm..- at -)0c gives premi-
ums, the other store makes no pretense at giving something
|(" ' xow fets consider this proposition just a moment. The
ladv purchaser might have -saved 11c per yard or 5oc on that
single purchase of $2.50. On a purchase of $.>.00 on same
basis she would have saved $1.10. Now the premiums are
Free (?) goods proposition is usually based on - pei cent
of the selling price. Never more than 5 per cent for cost. ol
advertising. Let's be liberal and say the liee goods (.)
figure 5 per cent; that would be at the most 25c on $o.00
ourchase; but you actually paid $1.10. .
Now this is an actual occurance and this proposition is
as plain as the English language and figures can make it.
So plain that any child who can read and figure can see that
so called free goods are only in pretense at giving something
for nothing. You may rest assured that when any business
man or set of men propose to give something free "there s a
negro in the wood-pile." and every purchaser will uncon-
ciously pay dearly for anything offered Free.
Now this store buys goods in small quantities and often
and by so doing keeps new fresh goods on sale at current
prices. So. when the tariff was reduced on woolen goods we
were not oveistocked on dress goods nor clothin,consequent-
ly we are buying such merchandise with the tariff reduced
which enables us to sell 36 inch wool dress goods for 39c and
still make a legitimate profit. However, we only pretend to
give you value and the above figures prove conclusively that
by trading here you save many times the cost of the so called
free goods you receive with your purchases.

John Newby's Painful Accident
John Newby met with a pain-
ful accident at the engineering
building Wednesday evening.
He was working with some hot
Babbitt metal, and poured water
upon it. The result was an ex-
plosion which threw the hot
metal into his face, making
many painful burns. Twenty or
thirty small pieces were picked
out of his face. The worst in-
jury was to his right eye, from
with a piece of metal was tak-
en, and it was thought he would
e his sight. That danger is
thought to be passed, and with
: care he will soon recover.
The season closes with a good
balance in the treasury of the
athletic association.

Messrs. C. M. Griesmer and
Clyde Pickard have been ap-
pointed appraisers to value the
Santa Fe right of way through
Cleveland county, and are now
| on the job. It will include val-
' uations of Santa Fe property in
Norman, Noble and Moore. It
is unnecessary to say the work
will be well done, and that a fair
valuation will be made of the
railroad's property.

Thanksgiving Game Receipts ,
It is very probable that Okla-
homa City will get all future
Thanksgiving football games
between Oklahoma University
and competitive teams, for the
people of that town sure did
show their loyalty on last
Thanksgiving. They turned out
in such large numbers that the
receipts were something over
$4,000 cash, and this, too, not
counting the hundreds of stu-
dent tickets nor the comv'imen-
iaries issued. The «1,000 was
divided equally between the two
i lubs, after expense- of adver-
tising were paid. Colorado paid
its own expenses out of its share.
