The Sonora Phonograph & Radiola Shop is a new
business in Capitol Hill, suburban part of Oklahoma
City, Okla. It is located in the 200 block on West
C avenue.
The Shelden Radiola & Phonograph Shop has set-

location is out of the business section of town. The
new location is in a very beautiful building and on the
main artery of traffic. Business is very good here,

The Piano Exchange, West Main street, is a new
store that has been selling well in all lines. Low
prices on good pianos have brought them much
