1901. Small stock, small beginning,

1909 The most elaborate and
unique display of cut glass, china and
jewelry west of Kansas City and east
Of the Rockies, in modern store in
an up-to-date building.
Some say that this stock is far and
away ahead of the community, but we
do not think so. Nothing is too good
for Chickasha.
China from medium to the best;
cut glass for all occasions; jewelry for
weddings or any other society func-
tion; diamonds and optical goods
We appreciate the support given dur
ing the last eight years, we simply
kept the Chickasha gait, and with the
support which we certainly expect for
the future, shis steady Improvement
will continue.
Chickasha can get what they need
at home; there is no necessity to go to
some other town. Come and see our
stock We have what you want.
