But some still insist on buying the shoe for its actual cash price.
Today there are thousands of imitations of high-grade footwear oh
the market they have been accepted merely because they were cheap
er, and with resulting disappointment.
In ARMSTRONG SHOES,
you will find some of America's finest and highest grade footwear.
The style, quulity and fit of which cannot be excelled. We invite in
spection comparison of quality and prices.
Plowden Slott, one of Portlands
leading attorneys, was suspected of
beinir a yeggman niid sjient Sunday
in the Asotin, Washington, jail. So
far as known IMowden had not even
thought of charging a fifty-thousand
dollar attorney fee for a piece of legal
work, and his record in Oregon is first I
class. It was finally established in j
the mind of the sheriff that he was not ;
so bad and Mr. Stott was released. In
explanation it must be stated that
IMowden went to Asotin to defend a
client who had been his lifo-long
friend.

The factors and processes of the in
dustrial world of America are closely
interdependent. Everything that is
tKHight nas its bearing on the employ
ment of a longe line of workers going
back to the ultimate source of the raw
materials from which the article i?
made. At the far end of that line
stands the man or OTnu.n who obtains
the raw material from the earth or
products of the earth is the source of
practically all raw materials.
Next stands the workers who ad
vance the raw materials through the
various processes of development and
manufacture. Then the men and wo
men who transport the article and dis
tribute it nnd finally these who sell
it to the ultimate consumer.

that long line of workers upon whom
the community and t'.ie nalion depends
for its necessary supplies. By just so
much, you injure yourself and every
other consumer which means eevry cit
izen of the United States. When you
buy wisely, intelligently adn reason
ably, what you need, you do your
share to keep the workers of the na
tion employed in healthy, normal, es
sential procession of production.
Thrift is not parsimony. Thrift is
a necessity for the improving of con
ditions which now face the nation. To
spend money foolishly, unnecessarily
or to no good purpose is to disrupt the
production system and throw away
financial and material resources sore
ly needed to reduce the cost of neces
sities. On the other hand, it is not
necessary to refrain from buying use
ful nnd necessary things. The endeav
or to get along without the things ac
tually needed is not thrif but parsi
mony. Thrift consists of wise nnd intelli
gent buying, wise" and intelligent use
of what is bought, wise and intelli
gent saving ami safe investment, such
investments as War Saving Stamps,
Treasury ' Savings Certificates and
Liberty Bonds. Bv following those
precepts of thrift you will do your part

of industry and commerce and solvo
