society, wishes to announce 'that the
county fair will be held this year at
La Grande, beginning October 4th,
and lasting one week.
The new catalogue will be out now
In a short time, the cause of the de

to get the Wallowa county people
to Join' us and combine the two fairs.
The new catalogue will be practic
ally the same as the old one, but with
this exception, many of the premiums
have been raised and new features
added, and also a large special list
of premiums will be offered by the
business men of La Grande. I
Get your exhibits rer.dy for the
largest fair that Union county has
Ter had.

QUALITY DETERMINES SUCCESS.
Quality indicates the man; Quality makes the merchant; Quality
you will remember long aftor the price has been forgotten. The
quality and prices of the goods plied up and scattered around
this store will tell you whether or not this la the right place to get
the right quality at the right prices.
Yes, It would be easy to go ahead and enumerate all kinds ot drugs,
medicines, stationery, toilet goods, books, combs, brushes, etc BBut
what's tho nset It isn't Just things you're after. Ton want quality,
articles of merit, and things that are pure and wholesome.
This Is not a little, dingy place. It's a drug store with lots of good
goods for good people. , It's a drug store o fquallty, and tho best In
.he beginning Is the cheapest in the end. .
Business principles that are broad, honorable and fair to all,
form the keystone for a unite d friendship.
