BALBOA Did Not Know It
m -But He Blazed a Trail
i to The Meier & Frank Store I
Just four hundred years ago, September, it is recorded that
"Vasco Nunez de Balboa discovered the Pacific Ocean, and in bo
doing opened to the view and exploration of the world a wonderful
country and, unknowingly, paved the way for the most gigantic
engineering and construction feat known to civilization the
Panama Canal opening a channel of commerce to the vast Pa
cific Slope that will bring to us a great population and to this store
immense cargoes of dependable merchandise to clothe and feed the
people of this steadfastly growing City and entire Northwest.
Balboa did not know it, but he took the first steps that made a
beaten pathway for thousands of satisfied patrons who visit this
store each day to supply every need for home and self.
The entire world is awaiting with intense interest the opening of
the great Panama Canal, October 10th, and the large working
model to be seen on the Fifth Floor of this store, in actual opera
tion, is proving an unusual attraction daily. This remarkable
Miniature of the Panama Canal is exhibited without charge, 10
A. M. to 12 JL and 1:30 P. M. to 5 P. M. Special Lecturer in
attendance.
