ats prestige and realty dropped out Of

Ia Hospital and Friends University are
two OF the prime factors in inducing the
new growth.

the demand for secondhand furniture has
become great, and the dealers in several
towns have had to quit business for the
want Of goods to supply the trade Not
enough people move out of Oklahoma to
keep the secondhand dealers supplied I
Messrs. Nicholson and Sheckler will fit
themselves to supply such dealers with
both new and secondhand goods. It will

The present owner does not intend to
occupy the building, but bought it for an
investment. This is only one of a num-
Der of similar deals that have been
closed recently, and the real estate men
cave all kinds Of theories as to the
cause. What seems to be one of the most
rational was advanced by Mr.. j. E. Conk-
lin, who said that he thought the settle

responsible for much of the present ac-

The other deal closed yesterday was for
the building at 2O1 North Main The pur-
chasers were w. A. Polk and T. E. Arm
