Large Stocks of Goods Con
tribute to West's Leadership
Everyone likes variety. You want variety
especially when choosing those things that con
tribute most to personal charm and your feel
ing of well-being. A large variety of merchan
dise from which to select is pleasing to you be
cause it allows the exercise of individual tastes
-it lets you make the most of the money you
have to spend.. '
It is for that reason that West's have long sought to
offer you the largest stocks of quality merchandise in
Eastern Oregon. We believe that you have a right to de
' - mand variety and wide choice and we give it to ycu zs
few stores are able to do. . :; . . . '

utation that has contributed much to the outstanding lead
ership of this store. It is only one of the things to which r
our attention is devoted to make your buying at West's a
pleasure aifd a satisfaction in every way.
New Spring merchandise is already arriving and
. will emphasize anew the variety and excellence
of choice lo be had at ' La Grande's Leading Store."
