OPPORTUNE MOMENT
FOR GOOD INVESTMENTS

Chlcxasha real estate has a greater
value today than ever before in the
history Of the city. for many reasons
First, Chickasha is one Of the most
perfectly laid out cities in the South
west. with its broad straight streets
the business portion perfectly level
and on level with all the railroads
while the surrounding hills afford am
pie room for suburban homes. And
now with nearly all the streets brought
to grade, and many miles Of paved
streets, and beautiful boulevards gent
ly sloping TO the perfect straight five
foot cement sidewalks. all this makes
a solid foundation on which chicasha
will firmly stand and continue 10
grow.

None of those good people who have

thinking what It means, how it affects
the welfare Of the town to take their
money out of the channels Of local
trade; they are realizing more than
