',.;SiM From e Sheep's cy An Interior Viexo of the First of the Shops Which During the many years I have catered to the clothing needs of the Pacific North west I have recognized the merit and worth of Oregon fabrics. For years I have been shipping Oregon woolens to my factory in New York and spending a good share of my time, there in supervising the making. This took lots of time and cost lots of money. By means of the new factory this cost will be eliminated, which means a substantial saving to the con sumer. It means much more, for the reason that 75 per cent of the money paid out for clothing made from Ore gon fabrics and manufactured in Port land will remain at home instead of going back East. "Oregon Buckskin CI oth" that wears like buckskin and is pure wool throughout is being made for me by the Thomas Kay Woolen Mills of Salem, the Eugene Woolen Mills of Eugene and the Brownsville Mills of Browns ville. From a splendid assortment of patterns in these cloths and from fancy worsted cloths have my tailors made three thousand of the finest-fitting and 1 J J ! 1 1 oesr-xauorea pants you ever saw. pants iiKe xnese is ;d ana $6.

Climate Ideal for Wool. It Is a weU known fact tat the IP p. till . ot -Vt climate, water, soil an natural food S on tne ranges, are ideal for the growt.-i of the finest grades of wool, and that the water and climate of this state are equally ideal for- the manufacture of woolen gtods.
