Human Industry deserves to command resi ect as well as to earn reward. \\ hile the wl.ok
world attaches importance to labor, in this republic we can justly boast tlmt a dignity has been at- ^
tached to it beyond that which has been given it in most countries.
Titles of nobility are prohibited by our constitution, and thereby greater facility given to j
leach citizen to make and maintain his own place and standing in the community.
The peace, prosperity and progress of the republic, and of the people of Oklahoma, are de-.
pendent in a large measure upon the success which attends honest toil f.rd the well-being cf those
who labor.
It is, therefore, eminently fit that during one day in each year, business shall be so far as
practicable suspended and the day given to the consideration of what has been accomplished and
what'may yet be done in the cause of labor.
Therefore, in cheerful compliance with custcm, I, TKCR'TSCN E. FIRGLSCN, Governor
of the^Territory of Oklahon-.a, hereby designate and proclaim
THE SALE
OF
CLOTHING

Nothing' Like it Before

rjRimWg
a holiday,{[commonly known as Labor Day,and request that all citizens of this great Territory cease
their usualjdaily'avocations, so far as possible, and properly celebrate the said day.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and
caused the seal of the Territory to be affixed at Guthrie
on this Twenty-fourth day of August, Nineteen Hun-
dred and Three.
REDUCTION GREATER!
VARIETY GREATER!
QUANTITY GREATER!
From a material standpoint better goods are not assembled
anywhere. From a price standpoint better values Have
, never been presented to Logan County Men and Boys.
We are doing the Clothing Business of Guthrie, and our
Special Table Sale is a "snap" for the consumer.
