ceived an L. L. B. degree. While
at the University of Kansas he
was actively identified with the
Democratic club of that institu-

fact that Mr. Petry has been a
democrat ; never affiliating with
any other party; under all con-

Altus, Oklahoma, Jan. 28,1914.
To Our Customers and Friends:
The 1914 season for implements ia opening now and we think
bids fair for a bounteous crop.
First, we would advise to overhaul all your old machinery
and check up such repairs as you will need and turn the list to
your dealer so that you will have them when needed. Repairs are
cash items and no dealer wants to carry a surplus stock of repairs.
Second, we are prepared to sell you such new farm tools as
you desire upon as reasonable terms as we have ever been. The
well known lines of B. F. Avery & Sons, J. I. Case and Oliver are
now on our sample floors and we ask a comparison.
Your past business has been appreciated; your future bnsiacw
earnestly solicited.
Very truly,
Bonebrake-Hightower Co.
