by the bountiful moisture of the
last two months. Over nearly the
whole of the state the ground is
saturated deep down into the sub-
soil. and now that fair weather
seems to have come, every farmer
is rubbing his hands and looking

crops this year.

of Oklahoma seems to ooze good

Did You EverThink
about This Before?
aARAMEC is nine year old. During
these nine years we have had thirty
merchants--we mean mercantile
firms. Three quit on account of
fires, one died a bankrupt, two "went broke"
some were traders and had no interest in
our community except to get your money
and take it away.
We expect to remain here, or near here,
for years; therefore we could not afford to
deal with you unfairly, When you get goods
from us we guarantee you a square deal. We
give you as low prices as any merchant can
and pay necessary expenses. We take a\*
pride in handling first class goods. .. ' *<
