Mrs. Spencer has just returned from the
New York market where she purchased a
hat that took first prize at the New York

that there is to be quite a change in the
styles this season and she has purchased
some of the most beautiful hats that could
_____ be purchased.
The more extreme and exclusive patterns should arrive in time
for Saturday’s showing. However, she shipped the more conser-
vative patterns before leaving the market and they are now in stock

passed through before reaching Kie-

this little city, that is surrounded
by these prosperous oil wells, 1 was
at once Impressed by the large
school building Just across from the
car line. The town looked rather
rich, alike, are satisfied and happy
to call Kiefer “home.”

occupied by an up-to-date druggist
carrying a full and complete line of
goods. Then, too, there was the
Kiefer Mercantile company with
their double door entrance, inviting
window displays, and upon entering
1 was shown the very latest in
men's suits and furnishings, a line
that was complete as well as
reasonably priced. All of the various

Gypsy Co. May have to Shut Down
Part of Plant until Stpring Brings
Demand
Kiefer, Okla., —(Special to the
Herald, i—That the Gypsy Oil com-
pany Refinery, the largest plant in
this territory producing gasoline
from gas by the vacuum process,
will be forced to lay off several
more men unless market conditions
in this field are greatly improved,
is the statement said to have re-
cently been made by Mr. W. P. Don-
ovan, the superintendent of the coin-
I pany. The oil market at present is
the lowest that has been in some
time and unless present conditions
are remedied It is feared many will
suffer. At the present time oil and
gasoline Is being stored, as there is
no market to cover the output.
