GROCERIES,


In good times people buy
what they wish; in bad
times they buy what they
must. When money comes
most easily it goes most
readily; but when a silver
dollar looks as large as a
Kansas Jimmi-cane and is
fearfully lonesome its own
er clings to it until he finds
a bargain. He has a big
dollar and wants a big dol
lars worth, and he is right;
We have endeavored at all
times to sell Groceries and
Provisions at prices that
satisfied the most exacting.
And now with a fair pros
pect of good crops, together
with the Strip money float
ing around, we are still in
the front. We want your
trade, and if low prices and
fair dealing be any induce
ment we are bound to have
it. You will find everything
that may be had at a first
class Grocery Establish
ment. Call and see what
the purchasing power OF a
dollar will do for you.

lT Is possible that the people Of
the Cherokee nation do not prop
erly appreciate the advantages
they enjoy over people in many
places in the states where labor
has been demoralized by strikes,
and where thousands Of heads Of
families have, through circum.
stances over which they had no
control, been cut Of from means
Of earning their daily bread.
Every family Of cherokees is
receiving handsome gift Of ready
cash this summer, and in addition
to this tho crops are better all
