Thrift Is twofold-it Is wise spend ing and intelligent saving. The man who stsryes that he may save is not thrifty; he is foolhardy. for he des- troys his capacity to earn and hence to save. The thrifty man spends wise ly and thereby increases his capacity to earn-and save. War Savings Stamps provide at once a measure of thrift and of patriotism.

THE CLEMONS CANDY COMPANY
OF MUSKOGEE Is \ COMMEND
RACE ENTERPRISE.

Every now and then woman will
bob up in the commercial world to
prove that she is the equal of man
i'm business affairs. OS il is with
Mrs. Lollic ClcmonS, Of MuSkogcc,
sole proprietor of the ClcmonS
Candy Company, who has favorablN
distinguished herself as a race gen
iuS i'm the conduct of a business ol
vast proportions and responsibility.
This commcndablc enterprise was
established years ago by s. w.
ClemonS. a well known MuSkogccan,
who died about u year ago leaving a
wife and l0-ycar-Old son. Mrs.
Clemons did not give up under her
great bereavement, but sci about to
take charge of her deceased huS-
bands business. Since that time she
has successfully managed the buSi-
ness and watched its growth with a
keen satisfaction. The company
sells in wholesale candies, cigars,
chewing gum ana coffee ana III re-
tail flour, meal, feed, etc. War con
ditions have somewhat handicapped
Mrs. ClcmonS, because the counlrN'S
call for men has taken all of her eN-
perienccd help, but she is patriotic
and goes about her business much as
if nothing of the kind had happened
The race is proud of such women as
Mrs. ClemonS. For Q vars Mrs
ClemonS taught school in Oklahoma
hSe was &lc principal of the Colored
school at Porter. II would he well
for every Colorcd merchant in the
state who rctailS candies, chewing
gum, cigars and coffee to buy from
Mrs. ClemonS.
