property holder and a former dent of Stevens says that city is the dullest place In way it has been for years that the cause of this deplorable conditions is largely due to the wild speculations in oil that all classes of citizens have indulged in during the past few years This party claims It Is impossible property A GOOD To open a is just now It will start the new year right and at the same time celebrate the opening of our new building One dollar is enough You are cordially invited to call and in- spect our new home whether you are a customer of this bank or FIRST NATL BANK aud there is absolutely no demand for property to rent Certain manufacturers the city have gone out of business to devote all their time and means to de- their purchases of oil ies Only two or threa men among he many who have invested have d anything from their speculations while the evil results of gambling in oil are everywhere apparent The story is thorough training in this line of business He proposes to do a strictly cash business and will run a thoroughly up store in all departments which will em- brace practically the same line of goods that the old firm carried will be delivered to all parts of the city the same as heretofore A new front will be put in the building and the store rooms thoroughly Mr Lipke will remain in the store to assist Mr cher and help him in getting acquainted with the trade and his surroundings These are tne general features of the change The particulars that will in- terest buyers we leave to Mr macher who will probably have thing to say to our readers along this line In later issues While always ready to welcome new men to the city many friends of the old firm will be sorry to see them retire from business However the city does not lose any of the members of the retiring firm as their other business and their families are here and their energies will probably soon be occupied in other enterprises FIRST NATIONAL'S RECEPTION Many Business Men Farmers Ladies
