Wholesalers Also Here.

Tulsa is also rapidly becoming the
home of wholesale houses and job
bing concerns. At this time there are
about so Of these institutions in the
city, and each year sees a large num-
Der added. The trade territory is
one OF the best to be found in the

Panics Not Felt Here.

At no time in her history has the
city Of Tulsa ever experienced any
thing Ike a panic. Even in the fall
Of 1907 when there was marked
depression throughout the country
and money became hard to obtain,
there was a splendid freedom Of this
condition among the residents Of Tul-
sa. There was no resorting to the use
Of scrip here, and the business Of the
city was conducted locally as though
Tulsa were independent Of the rest
of the entire world. The tons of bust
ness has at all times been good since
the city began her marvellous grow h
six or eight years ago, and that eX-
ccllent tone has been to the front at
all times since that.

Eighty Thousand Acres of Goa, Land.

Tulsa county has over eighty thou

respect is one of the richest counties
In the sta'c. There is enough coal be

county to last the country for an age.
and It lies at a depth ranging from

on account Of the excellent ops
portunties offered here, the city is
rapidly becoming manufacturinp
city. There are now located here
and in operation l25 factories, and
this number is being increased month
by month. The plentifulness of wat
er and the cheapncss of fuel are the
two great factors which have brought
them here, and these, coupled to a
working climate the year around,
and the fact that Tulsa is one of the
best distributing points for the great
Southwest. will see this city the
chiefest manufacturing center in this
grand territory within the period OF
a few years time.

about 200 oil and gas companies

The oil and gas business amounts to
millions of dollars annually.

1t is remarkable fact that there
has never been a serious labor dis
turbance in the city of Tulsa \ year
or so ago there was a little disturb
ancc at one Of the local glass plants
but it was soon ironed out and for
gotten about, and there was hardly
enough to it to furnish a story" for
the local press. Tulsa factories and
shops employ higher class Of skill
ed labOrers than are TO be found in
any other city in the state, and the
average pay is better. This has been
the means Of bringing here the best
quality Of mechanics and Of making

\ Well Paved City.

No other city OF equal proportions
in the world is better paved city
than is Tulsa. Today the city has
from so to SIS miles of paved streets,
and about a dozen more miles of
paving is now being laid. Asphalt is
used almost exclusively, and the only
brick paving which is now being laid
is in the alleys. The city has less
than a dozen blocks Of brick paving
all told, and the smooth asphalt is
kept clean at all times. 1t is not in
frequent that visitors declare this the
best paved city which they ever visit

The city has a splendid street car
here. Much Of the mileage is double

tracked, and a quick and efficient
service is therefore provided to and
