PIANO HOUSE, Portland, Oretfon A GOOD Have but little regard for their per sonal appearance, they figure on how cheaply they can buy their clothes, which is certainly a mistake, as cheap clothes are never good clothes. They may look pretty good when you get them, but in a week they have lost the little good appearance they had, and the man who pays a little more and gets tailoring and quality in Kis clothes has a big ad vantage over the man who figures price instead of quality. The man who wears good clothes gets admiration and respect wherever he goes. If an employe, good clothes will help you. If an employer good clothes are very essential. Isn't it so?

ROY MARION WHEELER Professor Roy Marion Wheeler resigned last June as organist and choir director of St. David's Parish Church; His honor, ability, clean and open life proved beyond a doubt that in him the church officials found one whom It is safe to trust. He was persuaded to remain until the two weeks in September. As a musician his present attain ments are equaled only by his promise of greater things to come. His friends are constantly surprised by the variety and vigor of his cre ative talent. Rev. H. Edward Mills (now of First Church, Spokane) ' said: "I am truly sorry to have Professor Wheeler leave Seattle. The only reason I can think of that would make his going an advantage would be that often a young man finds more openings in a new city." Rev. P. Edward Hyland (first rector on the East Side of the river, Portland, but now retired), says: "It gives me much pleasure to certify to Professor Roy Marlon Wheeler's good moral character and that he is a member of the Episcopal Church and has aided the church work very much by hlB musical talent." In a communication from Rev. J. T. Nichols, from the Union Con gregational Church, the following Is quoted: "I have been acquainted with Professor Roy M. Wheeler for the past ten years and commend him to any who may not know him as a Christian gentleman worthy of the confidence and esteem of all. 'You have worked hard for the good start you have got, and hard ' work will keep you going up.'" But perhaps the communication of most force with the public. Is from Rev. J. P. D. Llwyd. of St. Mark's Episcopal Church. Seattle, Wash., a man with whom Professor Wheeler has been Intimately ac quainted for years. It follows, under date of September 15: "This will certify that I have known Professor Roy Marlon Wheeler and have kept informed of his progress. He has built up a good reputa tion for himself. He leaves a large class to go elsewhere. He de eerves the confidence of the music-loving public . on account of hi hard work and his musical skill and enthusiasm." It is to be known that these men who testify are all men of sterl ing worth, honor and respectability, and whose testimony is one of strength and endurance because of its integrity. Professor Wheeler teaches piano, voice, organ and harmony (and air that pertains to composing music). His one published composition, "Lullaby," meets with success wherever met. It may be used either as a vocal or piano composition. His studio address Is 1001 East Main street (between E. Thirty-third and Thirty-fourth streets), where a quiet hour for lessons may be engaged. Terms, 75 cents per one-half hour; $1.50 per hour lessons. (Special terms If paid In advance or by the month.) If preferred, you may have your lesson taken at your home. Home phone B 1220.
