Madansky Bros.
at Tulsa

Eight years ago Madansky
Brothers felt the impulse to do bigger
things. Their study of conditions in
many states convinced them that op-
portuniSes were greatest in Oklahoma
"a state that was then rapidly forg-
ing to the front
Tulsa-then a busy little city
of 10000 people - beckoned them.
Madansky Brothers opened their store
as the Model Clothiers, at 208 Main
St., in room 25x100, and were given
a hearty welcome by Tulsa people.
Their success was phenomenal. Just
one year later the Bartlesville store
was established and at once became
the leading store Of the town.
Less than four years had
passed when it became necessary to
find more room to accommodate the
increased stocks required for their
rapidly growing business In Tulsa.
Larger quarters were secured at
212-14 Main st., where the store is
now located, with q frontage of
6oxl00 feet, gust double the space
with which they started.
Madansky Brothers are now
generally admitted to have the largest
clothing business of any concern in
Tulsa. 1t will be a matter of only a
short time until even larger quarters
must be secured in Tulsa. RIGHT
principles, RIGHT merchandise and
RIGHT prices are the secret of their
success.

TIME SINCE BECOMING ILL
Condition Reported Much Better;

you can tell the friends of Mr.. Taft
that he is a great deal better. He has
improved wonderfully today"
That was the statement given out
tonight by DR.. b. Il. Morgan, attend
ing former President William II. Taft
Ill of intestinal disorder at a local
hotel.
Mr.. Taft asked for food today, the
first time since Monday. He was given
a soft-boiled egg and some toast, but
according to Doctor Morgan he did
not relish 1t. Not only is his physical
condition improved but his mental at
cheerful today and was more talka-
tive than usual. The principal news
evepts were read to him and he COM
mented briefly.
The former chief executive was
asked today If there was any word he
wanted to send to his relatives.
NO" he replied. II will be out OF
here soon and | don't want to bother
them.'
And that has been his attitude
thruout," commented Doctor Morgan.
"Iie will do anything to assist me In
administering to his needs. And above
II all he always Is as cheerful as pos
sible under the circumstances.
Doctor Morgan said 1t was impos-
sible to state just when Mr.. Taft would
be able to resume his speaking tour.
lie said, however, that it probably
would take some time for Mr.. Taft TO
regain his strength after he leaves his
bed.
