Countless jobs done in the past by hand-power can be done today by small electric motors, both better and cheaper. Carpenters now havc electric saws and sanding machines shoes arc repaired by electric machinciy, cleaning is-done by electric machines electricity runs adding and billing machines drinks arc mixed, coffee is ground, air is compressed, printing is done, taffy is pulled, moving pictures arc run, grindstones are operated and hundreds of small tasks arc done today with small motor power. Thirteen hundred and fifty electrical horsepower is available in Eastern Oregon for any application of motor power, at rates upon which it is profitable to operate. Perhaps there is work which you arc doing by hand or some other power, which could be done bet ter and with less cost by electric power. We will be glad to work with you on your jiowcr problems.

We wish to announce to the public that we have placed an order for the most modern and up-to-date equipment for our Dry Cleaning department. This new system will enable us to turn out even better work than in the past, and at a lowered cost. DESCRIPTION: Our new system is known as The Clover Clarify ing iintl Continuous Flow; in other woirls there is a continuous flow of clarified and filtered cleaning; fluid passing through tho garments duiingtho en tire clciining period. As the dirty fluid leaves tho machine it passes through the clarifier and filter and returns to the cleaning machine. This process is continued until the cleaning fluid coming from tho machine shows clear and white in the sight glass in stalled for that pui-poso. IJesides being an improved cleaning system, this clarifying and filter system does much to remove the objectionable gasoline odor so common with inferior equipment. ... BETTER WORK: With this added equipment we believe we will be , able to turn out better work turn il out in shorter ' time, and with considerable less expense. Ilecause of this last fact we now announce LOWER PRICES: While this equipment will not be installed for a few weeks, we arc going to begin now to give our customers some of the saving we anticipate making. ' . Heginning Monday, November 2nd, Men's Suits will lie cleaned and pressed for t POLICY: It has always been, and will continue to be (im policy to turn out the highest quality of work nt the lowest possible price consistent with the cost of op eration. :-'..
