An Abileneite in Oklahoma. Okmulgee, June Reflector: Concerning the world famous state of Oklahoma. She has nothing over Kansas, other than oil and gas industries, which are great. have seen her oil fields, her nice large cities and her crops in Eastern Oklahoma. The oil industries ally are the most attractive.

About all I one hears in hotel lobbies, street. corners, in oil centers, is about. the great oil welll just in. All kinds of opportunities to invest, however. Their crops this season are simply great.

I meet up largely with dealers interested in hardware and farm implements. Their volume of business so far this season is im-. mense, and they have not been able to supply the demand for harvest tools. On account of the oil interests in many of the towns building construction has not been retarded because of high cost of material. have seen ten to twenty brick buildings under construction in a number of towns.

Of course there are dead ones, characteristie to oil conditions, towns that two years ago were very posperous, are not so lively today. Among the folks one meets up with, who came to Oklahoma from Abilene and Dickinson county and are successful is Mart Eicholtz, a product of Abilene. He brought with him that same canventional manner, characteristic to Mart, and has made friends and business for him in 0k- lahoma. He is located In Muskogee, and has one of the most complete furniture, household furnishings and undertaking businesses in Oklahoma, in a 4-story brick block, modern equipped with electric elevator. from floors basement are to nicely fourth arranged floor.

with All the his best the market affords in his line. He has three ladies constantly. employed in drapery has salesmen bookkeepers and stenographers and draws trade from many eastern Oklahoma towns. Say, sometime when you are real hard up for an item in your valuable world famous Reflector, and this is sufficiently interesting, you might make an item of this. Good road propositions have their likes and dislikes.

Once in awhile bonds are being defeated. but on the whole the proposition is gaining. They sure need something down here to fill up the chuck, holes. Roads in Oklahoma are generally bad. -J.
