An evidence of this Is n recent interchange of visits by the active officers of commercial bodies in Portland, Heattle, Tacoma and other northwestern cities. Co-operation of the same churnctcr exists between tho livestock associations of the dif ferent sections, and through their work ing in harmony there, is assurance that beginning with the first meeting this fall, tho finest horses from the best stables of tho entire country will par ticipate in tho events planned for Ore goti, Washington and Idaho. Tho most elaborate book ever pub lis lied on Oregon is in process of prepa ration by a firm whose books on other sections of America are in n clans by themselves.

They won 't urge you to buy, but honestly and earnestly toll you all tho merits of the goods and will try to help you in getting tho thing that exactly suits you. Then, after you have bought it, they guarantee it to give satisfaction just ug us you think it shond. If it proves poor, you can only blame your self if you fail to como back and tell them about it and give them a chance to replace it.
