To many people it means merely being '"light," to others it means paying the lowest possible price for things purchased, and to still others it means saving money. True thrift, however, is much more than is indicated by any of those conceptions, more sensible, more appealing to ideals of good business and citizenship. As outlined in various ways this, week in La Grande and throughout the county in observance of National Thrift Week, it commends itseif to everyone! who has the best interests of. family and self at liwuC. True thrift is the intelligent handling of one's income so as to protect the joys and com foils; uf the future while enjoying those of the present. It is a matter of intelligent spending. If we spend wisely, it iS only natural that we will not spend our entire incomes, whether they are large it small, and a savings account becomes a matter of course. If we spend wisely, we will readily .appreciate the advant ages of home ownership where rent receipts become divi dend checks. If wc rfpend wisely, we realize at once the need for insurance that will care lor our dependents in case of disaster. If we spend wisely, the accumulated savings automatically becomes the means to investments that will provide an income in old age investments that will bear the scrutiny of our bankers and will meet their entire ap proval. If wo spend wisely, we na.tirally will spend accord ing to a fixed and studied plan a budget in which sav ings account, church contribution, amusements, clothing, in surance, and all the necessities of a year are given proper attention. If we .spend wisely, thrill is the natural re sult. In spile of the abuswl ch.vaetcr of the v.oid, the true elements of thrift commend themselves to every thinking person. Thrift is not all "bum," Doling the war thrift was urged for patriotic lemons, yet practice of it today is no less patriotic because to do th-t which makes for a greater America is pal riot i, m of fhe highest sort. And those countries which have the thriftiest inhabitants have always been the gicalcst. Today we urge thrift, however, not because it. is patnotic but because it is selfish. It means self preservation and should therefore be the most interesting goal of every individual.

You cannot expect to observe Thrift Week to a fetter advantage than by determining to spend more wisely in the months to conic to spend carefully, with attention given other things than a mere price. West's policy which has maintained outstanding leadership for this store for more than a quarter century has always been that wc could best aid our customers in the practice of thrif and saving by selling the utmost in quality the best quality"' whether the item be an inexpensive necessity or an expensive luxury. ' ! ., - Wc, and hundreds of customers who have iound increasing satisfaction here through the years, have found that to buy quality is to practice thrift. Quality pays. Good materials, skilled workmanship, expert styling, careful attention to details these elements in merchandise sometimes cost slightly more than cheap, shoddy goods. But their dollar-for-dollar value is vastly more in proportion. v And West's Quality is a synonym for Thrift because West's is dependable, is reliable, and plays fair. You can best practice Thrift this week and every week by spending wisely at ''La Grande's Leading Store For 25 Years." N. K.West & Coo Inc. ' La Grande's Leading Store For 25 Years.
