ing Furniture Man.

Last month W. l.. Rhodes took a va
cation and went to California. Peo-
pie around town missed him. because
It was the first time he had been on
since his ARRIVAL on Oklahoma soil,
April p, 1Ss9--the day of the open
ing. II was in July of that year he
went into the furniture business in
a -bGtlding on Second street, and from
the, cay to this his store has been the
leading establishment of its kind in
Guthrie. The average old-time Guth
rie family would as soon think Of go
ing to Halifax for furniture as 70
4 buy 1t of anyone else but Rhodes, and
! his sales books have for years shown
the names of the best people in this
town His trade has never beea
! transient one, but stays with him
from year to year--a trade that no
competition has ever been able to
cut into.
Mr. Rhodes came to Guthrie from
] Carthage. Mo, where he had been in
I business for three years. His ma
tive place is Fulton county, Illinois,
and he lived at Peoria about six years.
The most exciting period of his life
was spent at Leadville, Colo, wnither
he emigrated at the beginning of the
mining discoveries in 1879 and re-
mained there for about six years.
It is not difficult to guess the Sc.
cret of Rhodes success in Guthrie.
It may be found in the fact that he
always sells the very best goods that
can be manufactured at satisfactory
prices and treats his customers
courteously and fairly. This season he
has a brilliant showing of aristocrat-
ic things in furniture, especially in
bright, airy furnishings that will re-
tain their beauty and are peculiarly
pleasing to the people of this section
The desire for beautiful furniture is
the one sure indication of refinement
and such a desire may be gratified at
this store in re many pretty devices
in Flemish, Weathered and Golden
oak, birdseye, mahogany and curly
birch-handsome things that appeal
to quiet, artistic tastes. A glance al
them will make the home lover long
to possess them. Besides furniture
there is a department for carpets
rugs, curtains and house decorations
generally. which is replete with the
latest and best that are manufactured
In fact, Rhodes store is perfect
garden of beauty and no one can &c
through it without wanting to take
something home.
The undertaking department in con
nection with this store is the oldes
established and best known in Okla
homa. A recent acquisition is {
magnificent funeral car, made by
James Cunningham OF Rochester, N
Y, the largest manufacturer of such
vehicles in the world. This car is
hand-carved, silver trimmed, superb
ly designed in every respect. and if
no doubt the costliest and most
sumptuous thing of the kind this side
of Kansas City.
Mr.. Rhodes is one of the most
generous promoters of Guthrie's pros
perity. and never fails to do his share
whenever the hat is passed around
He has built a fine home and all his
interests are centered here. His
store is one of the show places OF
Guthrie. and there is such an air oi
hospitality about 1t that to visit II
makes you feel just like being al
home

would have worked perfectly, and as 1t

as soon as he could get near Steeley,
who was dancing around and tearing
his hair, he padded him briskly with
an especially prepared paddle, at the
same time commanding to him to

Steelcy regained full possession of
his senses in less than second. His
hands dropped to his side, and he has
given no trouble since.
Steeley's sentence will keep him at
Canton during the greater part of
the summer.
