WASHINGTON, Jan. #7. m —A
program of further reduction in the
taxpayers’ burden through reduced
government expenditures will be a
guiding policy of the four years of
administration upon which Preat-
dent Coolldge enters March 4.
Addressing the regular semi- an-
nual meeting of executives and ad-
ministrative government officials,
the president last night placed upon
them and congress theresponsibili-
ty for no measuring ‘disbursements
that a further step in this program
may be taken next fall. .
Only the closest adherence, by
congress to the current budget ree-
ommendations, the president warned,
would make possible a realization of
the $373,000,000 surplus now ex-
pected in the fiscal year 1926 and
which he ‘believed would be a war-

February 2nd to 7th is Spring Buyers’ Week
in Oklahoma City. The most complete display of
merchandise ever 'shown in Oklahoma City will
be ready for your inspection.
The very things retail merchants are looking
for—representative stocks to select from, quickest
service, lowest freight, express and postal rates-
are some of the advantages of this nearby, complete
market. Increased turnover, better service to the con- 1
sumer, decreased working capital and "left-over"
stock are some of the results of using the Oklahoma City
market. Plan now to be in Oklahoma City February 2nd
to 7th. Consider this a personal invitation from every Okla-
homa City wholesale and manufacturing house to, attend.

Years ago, when wooden awnings and rub-
+ bar-tired buggies were in style, your home towh r
t merchant was handicapped by distant markets *
z and slow transportation in his effort to provide
you with fresh, new stocks.
Today, his stocks are new and complete the
- year round He buys for his immediate needs
only, having nearby the immense Oklahoma
' City manufacturing and wholesale market.
Your merchant now competes successfully with
the city stores and catalog houses. If he hasn't
7----the particular article in stock, he can order it es-
pecially for you and receive the article overnight.
Because your home merchants buy their
stocks in Oklahoma City they do business with
* less capital and less over-head expense. They
can clothe your family; furnish your home; pro- 1
vision your table: equip your farm and supply t
you with scores of other needed articles from
their stores at lower prices than you could buy 1
gcsowhere. A

Service to the retail merchant and co-operation with him
in conducting a profitable business are the things uppermost
in the minds of Oklahoma City wholesalers and manufac-
turers. In return, they ask that you come to Oklahoma
City, during Spring Buyers' Week so that they may have
a keener conception of your problems. No retail merchant
should miss this event. ■ ,
Railroad fares Refunded y
Visiting merchants who buy in Oklahoma
City will be refunded their railroad fare in ac- 1
cordance with the Fare Refund Bureau's plan. L

amount of one railroad fare both ways. F r
