Mr.. Harlow just last week COM
pleted a special purchase Of Christ
mas gifts for men, women and chill
dren, and the store at 203 South Main
has taken on a holiday appearance
that breathes the spirit OF the sea-
son.
This purchase was made at prices
that will enable the Harlow Broker
age Company to offer some wonder
full savings in such goods as china
pieces, cut glass silver toilet sets,
ivory toilet sets, dolls, handkerchiefs,
umbrellas and a thousand other gift
articles that will be sought after this
week. People who intend to spend
$40 will probably find opportunity at
this sale to save half of that amount,
and thereby be permitted to make
gifts to people that thought they
would have to pass by this year at
least.
In spite of the constant complaint
some have made about hard times,
Mr.. Harlow believes in the future Of
Tulsa and he has attested this belief
by making some of the most extensive
purchases in his history during the
past two weeks. Two weeks ago he
bought the Jones stock at Emporia
and offered it for sale to his Tulsa
patrons. A week ago he bought the
bankrupt stocks Of the Hub and the
Golden Rule store and offered them
at prices unheard Of, and in addition
he has purchased the special Christ
mas offerings at prices that will make
you wonder These will go on sale
Monday and the store will be
crowded, though he has secured
