ship fee will be $2.50 per annum.
Sixty percent of this will go to
the head organization while
forty percent will be retained
for local use. The marking will
be a post and arrow and the Sec-

Now is the time to keep up

Chas. Page is one of the big
men and besides being rich is a
real human. He built the city
of Sand Springs and owns the
interuban between that city and
Tulsa. He owns and operates
several factories in which he
gives work to many men, widows
and orphans and pays good
wages. He has an orphan's
home in which he is caring for
and raising 96 orphan boys and
girls. He is teaching them to
have a bank account and expects
each one will be well able to
care for himself at eighteen
years of age. John Whitehurst
and L. A. Holmes need no in-
troduction to road builders in
Oklahoma. The Po3tal High-
way has an organization that
will make it go and make it the
leading road in the 9tate.

ion with the manufacture and
sale of monuments, at so much
per line. Brown says, "Adver-
tising is a good thing. Every-
body must keep his name before
the public or he'll be forgotten."
And this proves Brown believes
just like some of the biggest men
in the country believe. Many
of them have made fortunes by
advertising. But what we want
to impress strongly on the
mind of the public is that Brown
mends shoes, repairs harness,
and buys and sells second hand
goods on Main street just east
of Broadway. Call on Brown
the next time you are in town.
