 KINTA!
 KINTA!

Now is your chance to buy a lot in the great town of KINTA, 1. T., the home of the Governor of the Choc- Jaw Nation and the selected county seat of Sans Bois county. Get in on the ground floor and buy now; lots are selling at S45.00 on the payment plan.
 l believe at the opening, if you desire, you can sell your lots for five times what you paid. Just look back at Enid, it gained 1000 in three years. El Reno has, in the mean time, grown 6,000. Blackwell has, in the same time, gained about 5000. Oklahoma City has in thirty-six months gained 12,O00.
 A salesman for the Sim mons Hardware Co.,, was offered four lots at Tulsa, l. T., two years ago for $275.00; these same lots sold a short time ago for $10, ,00O. I candidly believe Kinta will equal, if not excel, any of these above mentioned. You can not buy more than five lots. Send me $500 today as first pay ment, or write for descrip- tive literature.

Singular innovations are seen, such
