HK fame of Butler spreadeth Our business
menand others are receiving daily in-
quine8 about Butler from every corner of
the United States There is a reason! Butler is
fortunately located Situated as iris among some
of the best agricultural country in Oklahoma it af-
fords the best opportunities for investment It is a
trading center drawing from a territory covering in
area over 500 square miles It will be the terminus
of the C & O W Ky for a year or more It occu-
pies a pleasant site and has the best of water— wa-
ter that is suitable for boiler' and manufacturing
purposes as well as for domestic demands The
promoters of Butler with due forethought and wis-
dom laid off the town in sections For instance
the manufacturing district the milling and elevator
section the gins etc are in divisions to themselves
a precaution not generally taken but a good one’
nevertheless In fct the foundation is laid for a
goodJittle city You have heard the story of the
house on the shifting sands It is not the case with
Butler We have started out right We are on a
firm foundation and its up to the citizenship of the
town to rear upon this foundation a worthy struc-
ture Capital is hungry and investments must be
made Butler can can secure them if she uses the
proper method We cannot sit idly by and wait for
it to come within itself - We must exploit our ad-
vantages We must answer all inquiries tell them
the plain facts about Butler and explain what can
