THE ORLANDO CLIPPER.
D, E Dahlgren, Publisher.
Orlando, Logan County, Oklahoma, Friday, September 18, 1908. Vol. II. No. 43.
THAT IS ORLANDO,
An old resident here and of various
other places made the statement the
other day that Orlando was the best
town in this part of Oklahoma to do
your trading. More business is done
here than any other town in Oklahoma
for its size. That is because our mer-
chants are willing to sell goods at a
small profit—enough to make a living
—not to get rich quick. We find
through careful examination during
our seven months iiere that Orlando is
the cheapest place to live of all the
places we have been. Our men here
are all good, straight men and the
people know this from past experience.
Orlando has a live newspaper which in
a short time will be one of the best
papers for news and honesty in the
county. The management is done in
a way that will bet proven in time,
that every patron gets an equal treat-
ment. No parties reserved. The pa-
per needs more support, both from
the subscribers and the advertisers to
enable it to do more for them,
and when it receives more support, re-
turns are assured ten times over the
amount expended with it.
Remember the Clipper is working
for the interest of you not for some
other pl^ce It strives to keep the
money in circulation, and keep it here.
If the dollar is turned loose it will pay
many a man's debts and finally return
to the man who started it. It
Will pay ten debts of one dollar each
and return as good as ever, for it has
not been out of the vicinity of Orlando
neither is it a dirty dollar when it re-
turns. If you notice the men who use
the colums in the Cupper are success-
ful men—they are investing money for
a big return.
The editor of the Muskogee Phenix
last Saturday said to a man from Or-
lando, in Guthrie, that, "A country ed-
itor, especially in the small country
office, works harder than the large city
dailes, and he devotes more time to
the welfare of the town and community
than any one else on earth " Some
people know this to be a fact, again
there are others who do not.
Orlando's a sort of a good old town,
With her pretty girls and nice
young men:
