Why Do It
People are sometimes excusable
for buying things away from home
if there home stores do not carry
a variety or an up to date stock of
goods, but there is no good excuse
this year for any one going to the
I cities from Texhoma to buy suits,
hats, coats, dresses or any thing in
| the line of things -to wear. The
stores at Texhoma are carrying the
best to be found on the market.
The nicest looking ladies' suits and
coats and most stylish hats seen on
the streets were bought right here
and at from five to eight dollars on
the coat or suit cheaper than asked
for the same thing at the city. The
same proposition applies to piece
goods It is always cheaper here for I ffkias' llrnj; Store aod Tuboaia Tiaes.
