1903 - Clerks In A Union

[Taken from The Okahoman, dated Feb. 11, 1903, pg. 2.] - Special to the Oklahoman, Lawton, O. T., Feb. 9 -- "The city of Lawton continues to turn over new leaves in its rapid development from a town of the wild west to a modern city of advancement and influence. Last Sunday not a doll rag could be bought from a dry goods store. Everything was tightly closed. A clerks' union was organized some time ago and when their charter arrived they proceeded to demand the closing of the business houses at 6:30 in the evening except on Saturday. The leading stores of the city signed the agreement and lawton is a closed town on Sunday."
