The measure of a firm's success
may be in quantity or quality. With
us, it is both. No order is too larpe ;
no order is too small. And which
ever it may be, our eyes are fixed on
Kivinjr the best possible value for
the money.
Do not hesitate to phone for items and
quantities which may seem too trivial to
merit our attention. We handle small orders
in a way that bungs larger orders later, I he

Of Edmond
Candidate for Governor at
Republican Primary
August 6, 1918
Tnio tn liis nrineinlrs. Tried bv vears of service, he is trust
ed by his party, and capable of handling state or national af
fairs. Judge of the United States District Court for many years 3
a member of the State Board of Affairs; legislator, experi
enced and proven capable and forcible, standing for popular;
rights in all cases and under all conditions.
An attorney to whom Oklahomans appealed for aid In;
days of trial, responding with courage and ability.
The choice of the Republican Party for United States
Senator, always true to his party and its principles.
He stands for development of Oklahoma resources, but
considered in that development must be the Oklahoma people.
Oil production should nqt be overtaxed, but oil distributors
should not charge Oklahomans more for gasoline than adjoin
ing states are charged. Why not a .state refinery for the sol6
purpose of finding out the relative and equitable price of gaso
line. His record Is, he has the backbone to enforce aft Inxra.
He is nprainst keeping up the fij?ht within our party; has at all times refused
to take part in it. and says that there ahould be but one fipht the fipht to show
the people that we can serve better if given the chanre, than the party in power.
Seasoned and strengthened by twenty-five years of party and public service.
His character stainless, and has wit hstood the most rigid inspection throughout all
his years of public service. Never a complaint of one af his official acta.
A vote for J. T. Dickerson is a vote for the next Governor of Oklahoma, fof
the old and sacred tenets of Lincoln and for the benefit of the whole people.

To the Voters of Oklahoma:
t
I made my former campaign without losing a clay's time to my employers, and
my race for State Treasurer will be made and I will not lose a day from my office.
My time belongs to the people of this State and you will find me in my office----not a
private office,. but in the one with my working force at any time you call. I have
been your servant for three years, and my totarpersonal expense has only been
$1 21 .90, and my office has been conducted at an expense of less than $1 4,000 per
year, and revenues collected and turned into the State Treasury are in excess of
$570,OOQ. I have given my personal attention to the office all of the time. I made
no promise in my former campaign and will make none in this, except, if nominated
and elected, I will be your faithful and efficient servant.
