Why Bid the Big Store Succeed in Building Up the Largest
Retail Business in Oregon City ?
Because We buy and Sell More Merchandise at retail than any other firm in
Oregon City. We buy more because we sell more, and we sell more
because we sell cheaper. And we sell cheaper because we buy cheaper. ;
Because We fr Casn On'y- We are wedded to no factory or manufacturing
concerns. We buy for cash, and where we can buy to the best advantage.
Because We Sell at One Price Only. We g've no discounts, no rebates, no pri
vate arrangements of any sort, to any one. A child can bu ; here as safely
as an expert. " ,

Because
Because
We Have a Smaller Expense Ratio than any other store that we know of,
and can, therefore, afford to sell cheaper. The latger the business, the
smaller the expense percentage, and that means lower prices for you.
Because We are attending to Our Own Busi
and charity for all," we look straight ahead and attend to our own affairs.
. We are not jealous of competing stores; we do not hope for nor do we
predict the failure of others; we have no desire to plant the ascending star
of our success In place of the descending star of another store, but are happy
to live and let live. ,,
Because We Do Not Misrepresent in the store or out of the store, and we do not per
mit our employes to do so, either. We say what we mean, mean what we
say, and live strictly up to the letter and spirit of our advertisements.

sell "Better goods for the same money" than other stores, and, come what
may, we will fulfill this promise.

Silverware
If the silver you buy bears the stamp
"1835 R. Wallace",you may be sure of
the wearing qualities, for there Is but
one brand sold which bears this
name and it is therefore im
possible for you to confuse that trade
mark with another. Look for the "I835
R. Wallace", and be sure it is there; if
not, insist on having goods which bear
this stamp, and accept no other, for It Is
the guarantee of the quality and durabil
ity of the article.

Shoes
If there U anything more than another
which brings comfort to humanity, It Is
Dr. Reed's Cushion Shoe. This shoe
was invented by Dr. A. Reed, a leading
chiropodist of St. Joseph, Mo., who has
effected many cutes by the use of It. He
says it is almost impossible to cure any
of the ailments of the feet without first
removing the cause, viz.: the hard insole
of the ordinary shoe. The invention has
for its prime object the production of a
shoe to be worn by persons who suffer
from corns, bunions, ingrowing and dub
nails, tender, burning feet; enlargement
of the metatarsal and metacarpal joints
In fact, all the ailment the feet are heir to.
This shoe however, is designed not alone
for those who are troubled with the vari
ous ailments mentioned, but is. being
worn by thousands who desire to keep
their feet In perfect condition.
The best shoe ever made for hot, cold,
damp, aching, sore, tired, tender, per
spiring feet.
Dr. A. Reed's Cushion Shoes make
sidewalks and hard floors feel like velvet
carpet to the feet . We carry full line of
Dr. Reed's shoes for men and women.

The Microscope and Its Revelations
The Punkin Hunker.
This comedv will be seen- at the
Shively opera house on April 29. The
play, as its title suggests, ia a rural
comedy. In some of the central states
a countryman is called "punkin
hunker," nnd this is wher,e it derives its
name. The scene is laid in Southern
Indiana, and the author has drawn his
characters from the quaint people of
that section. Natural, consistent and
true to nature, brimful of good clean
comedy, the author has avoided the
pitfalls of buffonery and horse-play, re
lying npon pure wit and good situations
for his methods of provoking laughter.
While a comedy in every sense of the
word, the piece is not devoid of sensa
tional features of which it contains
enough to satisfy the cravings of the
moBt exacting. The free-for-all fight
between a score ol harvest hands; the
county fair with its quota of grafters,
venders and rustics, are but a few of
the many scenes that are exciting
enough to thrill the most seasoned
theatre goer. The personnel of the
company ia extensile, and is headed by
Emma Davis, Percie Martin, George
Morrison and Allen T. Frisby.

Friday evening of this week. Rev. J

above theme at the Baptist church. He
is to illustrate his subject with photo
graphs taken by the aid 01 the micro
scope and projected on the screen by
the lantern, ttev. Beaven has owned
the microscope and has done quite a
great deal of work with it, and will talk
largely with toe knowledge of one who

to speak of the structures. of insects, the
flea, fly, spider and bee, as also of the
constiuction of chalk, of wood and coal,
and show some parasites bacteria and
the germs that produce disease. Alto

time that such a subject has been pre

Often The Kidneys Are
Weakened by Over-Work.
Unhealthy Kidneys Hake Impure Blood.
It used to be considered that only
urinary and bladder troubles were to be
traced to the kidneys,
but now modern
science proves that
nearly all diseases
have their beginning
in the disorder of
these most important
organs.
The kidneys filter
and purify the blood
that is their work.
Therefore, when vour kidneys are weak
or out of order, yon can understand how
quickly your entire body is affected and
how every organ seema to fail to do ks
duty.
If you are sick or " feel badly," begin
taking the great kid t remedy, Dr.
Kilmer'a Swamp-Root tecause aa soon
as your kidneya are wi they will help
all the other organs U iealth. A trial
will convince anyone.
If you are sick you a. ! make no mis
take by first doctoring your kidneys.
The mild and the extraordinary effect of
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney remedy, is soon realized. It
stands the highest for its wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases, and is sold
on its merits by all fZfFZ
druggists in fifty-cent
and one-dollar size
bottles. You may
have a sample bottle nom.ofSwimp
by mail free, also a pamphlet telling you
how to find out if you have kidney or
bladder trouble. Mention this paper
when writing to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bing
bamton, N. Y. Don't make any mistake,
but remember the name, Swamp-Root,
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the ad
tress, liinghamtou, N. Y., on every bottle.
