Bazaars of Beauty
The Christmas goods are now
being placed on sale the stores car-
rying this line having about com-
pleted the display which they
intend making Several stores in
town carry a line of holiday goods
and the towD as a whole is well
prepared to take care of a large
holiday trade
The largest and most elaborate
stock in the holiday line ever be-
fore shown in Wapanucka or this
section of the Indian Territory is
carried by the City Drug Store
that up-to-date drug establishment
on Main street People from all
over the country who have visited
this store and viewed this grand
display of Christmas merchandise
admit that it is grand beyond de-
scription and many are at a won-
der to know why such a thing
should be attempted in a small city
Of course this store and Christmas
display would be a credit to the
largest city in the Indian Terrttory
but what is good for any town is
good for Wapanucka Wapanucka
doesn’t lag behind any' of them in
the way of up-to-date stores
If you wish to see where Santa
Claus buys his goods and see the
real headquarters of the old gen-
tleman go around when in town
and view the City Drug Store’s
Christmas display which can only
be appreciated fully when seen
Cold type cannot do it justice Co
