OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 1908
The people of Clackamas County who have m mind dependable merchandise are more and more awakening to the fact that to inspect the big
department store, where really sensible offerings are to be found continually, is the best plan that can possibly be adopted There is no making up
of goods to be summarily slashed off again in an attempt to fool the puplic, but extensive baying of classy goods and choice selection of fine gar
ments, trimmings, laces and notions of many varieties that enables the stable merchant to continue to offer each day bargains that are bound to
attract the attention of the most careful buyers. There are remainders of our spring stock and we are making many sacrifices eachweek in order
that not a single piece of such merchandise will be carried over the season. Those who appreciate unusual values improve these opportunities and
make most profitable investments of time and most economical exchange of cash for seasonable goods.
Every section of the store presents a wonderful list of real bargains in dependable dry goods. These are unsurpassed opportunities and temptingly small
prices-are the rule in every department. The inducements which we offer are beyond all competition and will certainly prove irresistible to any man, woman or
child who are interested in positive money saving.

Visit trom Former Resident.
Mrs. C. H. Walter of Marshfleld,

few hours enroute home. About
twenty-five years ago Mrs. Walter
lived in this city with her father,
C. S. Concklin in what is now known
as the Harvey Cross place near the
Barolay school, and this is her first
visit to her old home since her de
parture many years ago. Having
been visiting relatives in Kansas City
May first and returning home
Mrs. Walter was delayed in Portland
and made good the time by enjoying
the ride over the O W. P. here, not
ing the ohange from what was once a
forest along the line to the present
network of beautiful homes, aud
when arriving in this city she was
somewhat bewildered atr the great
change that had been wrought. She
relates that where now nestles West
Oregon City great trees towered in
one mass, and there was no bridge
across the Willamette. It was during
her life here that this country experi
enced the great fall of enow and the
people of this oity who were living on
the hill for some time were nnable to
get their produoe from the stores as
the snow was too doep. Then she re
fers to the expression of her father at
that time, who stated that "the town
would never be a city as there was
not room and that to build upon the
bluff would be too expensive," and
she now marvels at its growth. Mrs.
Walter returned tj Portland the Bams
evening where she took the steamer
Alliance for Marshflold.
