An Advertising Demonstration.

That advertising pays was demon
strated Friday and yesterday in this
city. The American Sales Company
of Dallas, Texas, put on a sale at
the Randol- Ditzler building that has
broken the record of all sales held
heretofore in this city. j, Il. Parker
is in personal charge of this sale
and has handled it in most sys-
tematic manner.
Being an experienced business man
and believing firmly that advertising
pays Mr.. Parker began by having
printed and distributed twenty eight
thousand double sheet posters an
nouncing the date when the sale
would begin and setting forth few
of the many bargains that would be
offered. In addition to these circu-
lars, Mr.. Parker carried an adver-
tisement covering four full pages in
both the Daily and Weekly Ardmore'
ite and in the Weekly Statesman.
Knowing from years of experience
as a wide awake business man, just
what would result from all this ad-
vertising the gentleman employed
fifty experienced sales people and
had them on hand early on
the morning of the opening day OF
the sale to meet the rush. And re-
suits showed the wisdom of this
move. For two hours before the
doors of the store opened on both
Friday and yesterday mornings the
sidewalk in front of the Randol-
Ditzler building was crowded and
jammed with lady bargain hunters.
For two days now this rush has
kept up-ladies, men and even child
rem coming from every section OF
the county and from towns in sur
rounding counties. All of which
goes to show that Mr.. Parker made
no mistake in applying the rule he
has used during all his business ca
reer-the rule which his company
uses-to advertise literally IL one
would get results.

BAPTIST STATE UNIVERSITY.
School Will Not Be Started Until on
Sure Financial Basis.

Rev F. NJ, Masters, pastor CT the
Broadway Baptist church. has re-
turned from Oklahoma City, where
he attended a meeting of the board
of trustees of the Oklahoma State
Baptist University, located at Shaw
nee. The school is not in operation
now and will not be started again
until the buildings are up ano the
university is placed upon a sure
financial basis. Shawnee will pay
into the university fund $4,000 with.
in short time which will be suffi-
cient to finish the administration
building. Dormitories will be built
later and the Baptists are planning
to buid a great university in that
city. Denominational schools of all
denominations have suffered the past
two years. but there is every reason
to believe that the interest of the
people has not Jagged with reference
to Christian education and money is
much easier in the state row than it
has been for several years past.
