Rush, Contractor and Builder Never tave Joeal markets put on a better holiday appearance. The show windows fairly groan with Christmas goodies and the shelyes are loaded with the choicest canned goods that can be had. a To notice the green stuff displayed on the counters one would Jhink that the spring season for green onions and little radishes had just begun. Never has the sup ply been Of better grade or of larger variety than now.. The Christmas dinner in La Grande will not iack for the things which go to make 'decora tions and fixin's. A steadiness in the prices and a firm demand keeps the choicest table delicacies within the reach of all. From the butchers comes word that the supply of fowls will be plenty large enough to go around and there will be lots left over for New Years.

' " ' Do you realize how rapidly La Grande is be coming a city of homes. Look about you, you can count a dozen or more of your friends who only a few years ago were tennants. Don't chill the home getting germ, let it de velope and start the new year right. La Grande is not. booming but it has a steady substantianl growth Lots are worth double to day what .tlhey were three years ago in many sections of this city. While we have been recognized for j'ears as the pay roll city, our payrolls have annually increased with our growth. An investment in a La Grande home means a profit, not a loss. I have several choice properties that are priced right and much, of -it on very reasonable terms. 'No excuse for paying rent year after year. You could have bought several years ago.
