Leader The Leader having been rec
ommended to us as one Of the leading
dailies in Oklahoma and yourself as
a business man. in whom the public
has a great deal of confidence. and in
view of the fact. and on account of
our business having been severely crit
icised by some of the newspapers in
Oklahoma territory we think IN jus
tice to ourselves and the business
men of Oklahoma. who are interested
with us, that we should make an ex-
planation. and invite you to visit our
offices and factory in this city at our
expense, and make personal inyesu-
cation of our business, and our meth
Cd of doing business and make a re-
port through the columns Of your pa
per stating the facts as you find them
without fear or favor and we will
abide by the consequences. If you ac-
cept our invitation, it might be well
for you not to make yourself known
upon arrival here. or while here. and
when you have published your report,
you may draw on us for your ex.
penses. with copy of your report at
tached to the draft, which will be
promptly honored when presented to
us here.
Work Of a sorehead.
The ADVERSE criticism referred to.
was brought about by one of our Gust
omers sending a telegram to one Of
his friends in a neighboring town TO
visit this CITY at his expense, to in
vesugate business proposition The
party undoubtedly supposed he was
to be made president Of one Of the
leading banks here, as he became
quite angry with his friend as soon as
he learned the business was of an en-
tirely different nature from what he
had expected. Instead of acting as a
business man and a gentleman. with
out ever investigating our business,
or our method of doing business, he
thought he saw an oppor unity for
making money without investing a
dollar, by pretending he had been
greatly injured and demanded as hush
money, that we pay him $3.50, or he
would ruin our business. Doing bus
.iness as we do on business principles,
we did not comply with the demand
but did offer to pay his car fare one
way. just as we guarantee to do. He
re urned home very much disgruntled
ami has endeavored to carry out his
threat TO ruin our business by having
his home paper publish an article re
feoting on our manner of doing bus
mess. The people in Oklahoma will
have an opportunity to know, TO whom
we refer in a very short time, when he
is made 10 answer in the courts O
your terri ory for attempting to in
jure us. With regard to our business
we wish to say. that our plan Of handl
