ey Have Arrived
Wheat 7o Per Cent Short.
That long looked for car of Buggies has arrived,
and may be seen in our big new store. Come in and
examine this line of vehicles, the best that iron, steel,
wood, leather, rubber and paint can make. When
you have a few minutes to spare, it will interest you
to look them over.
We have lots of goods other than buggies, such
as high class cotton mattresses, sewing machines, re-
frigerators, ice cream freezers, furniture and art
squares, besides a complete stock of harness and oth
er goods that you will find in a first class Hardware
establishment.
Blair H'd'w. & Imp. Co.
Guthrie, Ok., June 14. -That
,' the wheat yield of Oklahoma
this year will amount to but a-
hout' 8,000,000 bushels, as a-
gainst 26,000.000 bushels in 1910
, i is the general opinion among
grain dealers throughout the
| state. On May 25, when the
i last monthly report of the Okla-
: homa state board of agriculture
was sent out, the growing con-
| dition of wheat throughout the
state averaged 53 as against a
normal of 109, and Secretary
i Benjamin Hennessey of the de-
j partment, stated that there
I have been no' reasons for revis-
.! ing the figures given in last
| months publication. The 1910
wheat crop was above normal.
Have you seen that car of
Buggies just received by the

The first bale of new cotton
for 1911 was ginned at a small
town near Galveston a week ago
today. This makes a new record
for early cotton. The same day
this bale was ginned, a few far-
mers in Oklahoma were planting
and on many a broad acre in
this state the cotton plant was
just unfolding its first leaves.
With this difference in develop-
ment the sprouting weed in Okla-
homa will probably yield a larg-
er harvest than its matured kind
in Texas.

TALK NO. 19 BY OUR CASHIER.
Our "Safe"
Beinn One of a Series on the Different Forms of Books, Filing System
and Fixtures of the Bank. ,
Our safe is known as The Famous Manganese Steel Bank
Safe. This make has never yet been opened by burglars
and takes the lowest rate of insurance against burglary.
The vice president of a large Surety Company says: "An-
swering your letter requesting list of safes upon which low-
est rate of burglaryinsurance is applicable, beg to say that
the round or screw door safes that are of cast, pattonneer,
or Manganese steel, take the lowest rates."
Also, a prominent Safe and Vault Engineer says: "Re-
plying to your letter, beg to say I have been employed sev-
eral times by the Manganese Steel Safe Co. to test their
safes, and found them to be one of the strongest safes ever
mai'e, I have used explosives enough to wreck the largest
buildings without any damage to their safes."
It was costly to provide ourselves and customers with
this important fixture, but after studying the matter over,
oar directors thought it would be the cheapest in the long
run to get the best at the start.
Will tell you about our vault soon.
