If pea- pie as they ride upon the trains In the comfort of the observation car or berth, through cold. wind, rain and snow, could stop occasionally to think of the man up ahead and realize the responsibility that rests upon his shoulders to bring them safely through, wo believe that many of those so quick to criticize our group. would be more charitable and not so willing to oppose our efforts." "We believe thoroughly that the Interests of capital and labor are co ordinate. That capital is necessary for employment and employment is as necessary for capital.

Like the mighty Stinson passenger planes which thunder through the night carrying their precious loads swiftly and safely to distant points, so the Red & White Stores are daily piloting the way to greater value-giving by passing on to you the savings from our economical, modern methods ol co-operative distribution. THE WRIGHT BROTHERS pioneered the vast ex panses of the ether, first with feeble, fluttering at tempts, then on to a glorious and successful accom plishment. The Red & White Stores plan of operation found its birth in the creative mind of S. M. Flick- inger, of Buffalo, who, by his untiring perserverance, courage and foresight, developed the co-operative plan of food distribution which from an humble beginning has developed to one of the greatest factors in the dis tribution of food in the United States and tho Domin ion of Canada. THE ENDURING and ever-increasing confidence of La Grande housewives in our stores during the past years, is the result of our continually di efforts toward the selling of quality groceries at the lowest prices consistent to good business. In every Red & White Store you will find an appealing variety of well known foods at low prices. Visit our nearest store today. THE RED & WHITE STORES have shortened the distance between the producer and your table by go ing directly to the finest producing areas and carefully selecting foods of fine qualify which are quickly distri buted to our stores. This- Thursday, Friday and Saturday La Grande is celebrating in pageant, parade and festivities the 50th anniversary of the coming of the railroad to this sec tion ... a half century of progress that has brought growth and advancement to the village of 50 years ago into- an active, modern city of the present day. We extend our congratulations to the citizens of La Grande and to the railroad people upon the completion of these 50 years of hearty service and co-operation that has madeLa Grande the city it is today. ed & White Stores of La Grande
