Old Santa 'Clans informs us
that he intends making our
store his headquarters for the
Xmas Holidays
He has already shipped us a lot of beau
tiful toys from his wonderful pack with
instructions that we should unpack them
and display them so all the little children
that he loves sodearly can come down and
see them and decide on what they want
him to bring them for Christmas
We have done exactly what he has asked
ms to do and ovr window is Toyland Itself
Randlett Bank
Shows Eig Gain
By reference to the statement
if the Bank of Randlett in this
ssueit will readily be seen that
this institution is ' in a Very
healthy and prosperous condi-
tion The gain in deposits in the
past two years ’ are somewhat
remarkable the last 1917 state-
ment showiDg that the bank has
node a dear gain in that time of
an amount over what the total
deposits were Nov 20 1915 In
jther words "the total deposits
Nov 20 ‘1915 were $0224904
igainst which a total deposit of
$12870022 is ' given for Nov 20
i9l7 showing k gain in deposits
of $G051718 or as we have
stated a ' deposit equal and
$426814 more than he total de
posits "two years ago1
This improved condition speaks
volumes for the efficiency and
business ability of the officers
of this institution
Despite the fact that crops in
this section were very poor this
!year the statpmeut of this bank
shows that” the people arc not in
such hard financial straits but
really have more money than
ever before
VVe will venture the assertion
that no other bank in the entire
state of Oklahoma in a town the
9ize of Randlett cin show aueh
a wonderful gain in 'the same
length of time
