wise enough to invest Immediately
in Oklahoma realty and in Legitimate
and conservative business enterprises
are going to be the rich men Of the
state within three years.
This is the cuncensus Of sentiment
as expressed a few days ago at a
chamber of commerce luncheon by
some of the leading business men OF
the city. And they are backing up
what they can spare from active
business. One man said:
some people who are letting 60

prices must be crazy. Why, just a
few days ago | knew a certain build

price and / tell you it made me sick
to think l had no money Immediately

Some business men from Wichita
were guests et the meeting. They
were "old-timers' in Wichita, though
they are still young men. One OF
them said
