'i This js the secret: the turkeys are
descendants of wild turkeys partially
domesticated by the Indians and
mixed with a itrain of the domestic

wild turkey blood is such that the

weather and other conditions which

Tailored Suits Are Wow $25
The collection is a notable one. In points of style variety and econo-
my it has no counterpart in Oklahoma City. However we shall not ex-
pound the obvious. Such features as we have mentioned are always seen
even by' the most casual observer.
The quality of the materials? for example is a thing not so easily ar-
rived at. It is highly important in the final analysis it is the most im
portant thing about a puit.
There isn't a slimp-slippery yard in the whole assemblage. They
were chosen by our representatives for the special reason that they are
serviceable. And it is not out of place to mention here that a knowledge
of fabrics Is one of the qualifications by which our buyer in this depart-
ment justifies his stewardship! Therefore be assured that over and
above the gay and sparkling style and the intrinsic economy in each of
these Buits there is the genuine merit of satisfactory service.

All Work mi No Flay lakes Jack
Dull Boy and Jill a Mere Wall Flower!
We are living in a new world. Some of ua were projected into it ho vio-
lently and unexpectedly that we have not quite ascertained its address or fixed
its position nor have we discovered what it is all ahout but there is evidence of
jjropinps-around and stumblinfrs-forward that is wholesome stimulating and
wonderfully encouraging.
Mainly About Ourselves
Long ago. to be exact nine years since we were viry sure that we had
caught and registered properly the majestic ground tones of the age then ad-
vancing. and now arrived suddenly thrust upon us by the great war. This
thing or age is always old and ever new. It has many meanings depending.
Here is this particular activity of ours that is drygoodings it means a finer bet-
ter and more charitable understanding between employer and employe. As
we have hinted we felt this nine years ago when we instituted the weekly half
holidays in summer and fixed a policy of paid vacations for everybody within
these walls and beneath this roof. We know it now.
From a cold financial viewpoint it is the best investment we ever made.
It had nurtured and developed tho courtesy that is Kerr's and which is now
traditional in Oklahoma. There is no way of calculating the human or aociolog-
ical benefit. They are perhaps incalculable.
The Birthday Bonus
It is because we know all this that we did another thing recently giving to
every employe a bonus during the week cf the Birthday Celebration. We are
at liberty to comment upon that now without laying ourselves open to the ac-
cusation of using it as advertising capital. Suffice it to say that the excellent
service of that remarkable week (the greatest in our history) was the comment
of hundreds. Part of that excellence was directly attributable to money-encouragement
from the firm.
So far so good. Let's find some way of bettering that good.
A buiineaa like this is always a becoming a growth a keeping on.
The Cal endar
The other day we looked at the calendar as men are wont to do;
looked and learned that July 4th falls on Friday. ThM with our first
summer half holiday falling on Thursday! Here. was a golden opportun-
ity of gloriously celebrating the most glorious 1th since that memorable
one of '76! Let's consider for convenience Thursday as Saturday and
add another half to the half holiday making a whole one and close all
day Saturday allowing our workers two days of play which with Sun-
day additional gives three days running! Well it's done.
Kerr's Will Remain Closed Friday Next July 4th and
Saturday Next July 5th Reopening Monday July 7th
A little vacation for Julia to visit Mamma in Ponra City in a leisurely
manner without rushing all on edge and nerves! A breathing time for Sallie
to finish her new dress for her real vacation coming later on. An opportunity
for Tom to make neglected necessary repairs around the home. In fine a wel-
come change and a deserved rest!
It is a step in the right direction in accord with that of the best shops
everywhere among them Wanamaker's of New York and Philadelphia and
Raton's of Toronto where Mr. George Kerr served his apprenticeship in the Dry
Goods Trade.
Now a Business Proposition
A Remarkable Four-Day Qrive
Beginning today and continuing until Thursday night a Four-Day Drire in
an effort to crowd five days' business' into four. There will be spectacular offer-
ings throughout the store many many worth-while economies on the Kerr kind
of merchandise. .
You are vitally interested in this shop and you are glad to know that soma
of the money you expend here is devoted to such projects as this closing move-
ment are you not?
