The state department of Com-
merce and Industry has produced
a fine industrial mailing piece
v hich does a good job of selling
Oklahoma to out-of-state industrial-
ists. But this is just one of many
such printed hom-tooters tha: have
emulated from the various state
agencies the past ten or 12 years
The fact remains. Oklahoma is
still back row. deep center when
it comes to the industrial feed
trough Something must be wrong
with our approach, methods, pre-
sen* at Ion. or with what we might
have to offer.
We have always contended that
Oklahoma's Industrial future is
tied tight to the smaller industries
that involve piece work, primarily.
Such as shoe factories, textile fac-
tories and the like In other words,
strictly light industry.
We are wondering if some sort
of legislative industrial program
could not be developed which would
put particular emphasis on the
needs of light Industries. We are
quite certain that small factories,
employing up to a couple hundred
people, have vastly different prob-
lems than do nat'.on-wide concerns
having plants or foundrys in many
states Light Industry oftentimes is

Legal whisky—the first ever —

afternoon. although "price

dering if and when they would fin-
ally get their stock
Arrival of the stock relieved the
situation, although the merchants
were still wondering how much
they were paying and how much
they could sell it for
The cork on retail sales will pop
at 10 a m Tuesday however, the
retailers were faced with a price
change Wednesday and another
Thursday. The changes were on
wholesale prices, however the
change extended into retail char-
ges.
The effect on retail prices was
very definite As an example, Jim

units, and many times owned by
one person, or at best by a small

We would say. for example, that
the operator of a shoe factory in
Drumnght would have problems

ed by the Douglas plant in Tulsa.

Gypsum Our suggestion would be
to $5 10 then, finally, set at the
current price. Other current, prices
for Jim Beam <86 proof bourbon*
are, one pint—$3 14 and one-half

According to one store owner,
the price of wine will be very low

example, he said a fifth of Gallo

our house In order For example,
the workmen's compensation rates
tn this state might be considerably
more of a blnderance to the small,
individually-owned factory, than
are freight rates and union scales

We contend it will b* a long
time coming before Oklahoma en-

our future lies with the light in-

grow Industrially. It must start at
the bottom and go up . . with
the little fellows and then the fu-
ture will provide the bigger puy-
rolls. If we aren't attractive to the
light industrial people, then we are
going to have a long wait for In-

Two Of Three Boys
Held Here Admit
Crimes Elsewhere
Three out-of-towr teenager* found
themselves in trouble when they
wandered into Sapulpa early Friday
morning
Officer Oren IJankes arrested the
three youths for violating city curfew
and upon questioning learned two
of the bow may be wanted in other
cities.
One youth. Sparkle Oene Ken-
drick. 14, Stillwater, was turned to
Stillwater authorltias after he told
officers he had committed a burg-
lary there.
Another youth. Hands Joachln
Mueller. 16. Omaha, told Hankes he
had passed a "hot check" tn Omaha
Another youth from the Nebraska
town. James H earner, 18. said he
had committed no crimes Both Ne-
braska youths are being held tn
county Jail City offlctala have re-
quested information on the boys
from Omaha police
Other prices include 90-proof Vod-
ka. $4 35 a fifth; and a fifth of
Gilbey Gin. also 90 proof. $4 62
Another Uquor store owner said
retailers will be governed in price
setting only by fair trade laws,
which state a retailer must make
a certam percentage of profit.
The tiem of major speculation
by the public and retailers is the
volume of business the stores will
run. The liquor people think the
first day will net heavy sales. Oth-
er lay sources feel the public will
wait until tiie "new" wears ott be-
fore they make the venture into
the stores.
One tning. the store owners feel
certain. Is people will be buying
the ole reliable' brands offered
by their bootleggers before repeal
The shelves, by and large, are
stocked with bourbons commonly
known to Illegal booze drinkers —
however, later, the dealers say,
tastes will change and people w.ll
switch to other brands
Most of the local owners told
the warehouses to send out what-
ever the "experts" think they
should have for opening and in la-
ter orders, the retailers will de-
cide for themselves which brands
are selling best and which they want
to order.
in o^iie of all speculation and
planning, the store owners, by and
Urge, will open their stores Tues-
day morning with little more know-
lege about what will happen than
the first man lo the moon knows
what will happen.
