TO TULSA

Tulsa, of all the cities in the United States,
should be considered THE CITY in which any
worthy business proposition should find hearty
support - moral and financial - and without
equivocaton, worthy home proposition, relat-
ing to the oil industry
Tulsa is more and more becoming known
throughout the width and breadth of this great
nation as a city of wealth, city whose business
men have indomtable courage who will venture
into untried fields of industrial endeavor and
prove their wealth and success to the world.
Tulsa has reputation for doing daring, sue
ceeding, throughout the country, and especially
throughout the State.
THE SURFACE FOAM APPLIANCE COM
PANY is TULSA CORPORATION, organized
for the purpose of manufacturing and marketing
THE HOLMES SYSTEM of automatic fire ex-
tinguishers for oil tankS-a worthy business
proposition.
THE HOLMES SYSTEM will stand-yes, in
vites- investigation 1t means to oil tanks just
what the now famous Automatic Sprinkler Sys-
tenn means to buildings-a certainty that any
fire will be quickly put out.
THE HOLMES SYSTEM accompishes this by
applying foam, containing carbonc acid gas,
which means sudden death to fire, automatically
and Immediately to THE SURFACE OF THE
OIL.
Years ago it was proved in this country and
abroad that this foam would quickly put out an
oil tank fire 1t remained only for O. j. Holmes,
inventor and patentee of THE HOLMES SYS-
TEN, to perfect that one best means of applying
the foam.
came to Tulsa with his idea, and here found the
financial aid necessary to bring THE HOLMES
SYSTEM to perfection, secure the patents and
begin the organization Of the corporation to man.
ufacture and market it,
Now comes that time in the companys expert
ence when it requires that thing always neces-
sary to the successful continuance of business
enterprise
The capital invested in this enterprise will
yield sufficiently large return to make it an
attractive investment, laying aside all other
questions.
Tulsa's business men are busy. We know that.
They are using a large portion Of their capital
in their own various enterprises. We know that.
We are glad of it and proud of them for it.
But they should not be too busy to look into
THE HOLMES SYSTEM. and thew can make
some arrangements to put small portion of
their capital into this Company, if their investi-
cation proves it worthy.
If THE SURFACE FOAM APPLIANCE
COMPANY must go out into the highways and
byways of the State to find capital to finance the
business it speaks i'll, either for the Company or
Tulsa We know the Company is alright, and we
know that Tulsa is alright.
The number of replies received to this adver-
tsement will be barometer by which can be
judged the quickness or slOwness of Tulsa in Civ
ing a business proposition an opportunity for
presenting itself in business-ke way.
To all answers will go copy of our booklet,

TEN, with request for an interview

MRS. n. c. RuPLEY. DEAD
Another sanity mother went the
av Of all good when the end came

Another sanity mother went the
way Of all good when the end came
suddenly TO Mrs. II. G. .Rupley, ut
2: $50 this morning. She has been in
feeble health for a long time, but il
was not thought that she was in a
dangerous condition and her death
was a severe shock to family and
friends. Late in the night Mr.. Ripley
was awakened by her groans and get
ting up, found her very i'll. All that
could be done for her failed to ale
viate her sufferings and the end came
in n very short while. For years Mrs.
Ripley had trouble with her heart
and for the past eight or ten months
she has slept n good portion of her
time in her chair. II was not unusual
for her husband TO find her sitting
up, even in the late hours of the
night and he was not alarmed when
he saw her up last night. She had less
trouble with her heart when sitting
than in n reclining posture. She was
6S years old and was born in Marion
county. However, when she was mar
ried TO the man who is now bowed
down with grief she resided in Mis-
souri,. Her maiden name was Lavinia
0rOWuus. Deslues tnc nuSDanu. sne
is survived by the following children
Mrs. r. r. Hourigan, of Marion
county, Miss Minnie Ripley, now at
Fargo. Mimi. Miss Stella Ripley, now
teaching at Cave Springs, Ca. and
Messrs. II. Clay Ripley, of st. Louis,
and X. lee Ripley, of this city. De-
ceased had been a member of the
Methodist church for many years and
as long as her health would permit.
was an active worker in the Masters
vineyard. She was an exceedingly
amiable. lovable woman and made
friends and held them. Her death is
n distinct loss to Stanford and the
entire community, but il falls heavi-
est on the husband, who now walks
the pathway lonely and alone, and
the children. whose love and devotion
for mother was very beautiful. May
the sod lie gently on the grave of the
splendid wife and Cody mother.
The burial will occur in Harrods-
burg Cemetery Thursday. but the ex-
act hour will not be decided until
later. as it will take some time for
some Of the children to get here.
