' Thrift is a much abused word. 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.

The Qualities of West's Leadership Aid Your
Spending Wisely at This Store Whether at
Clearance Prices or Any Other Season of the
Year.
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."
