What Is considered one of the most
modern and complete buildings of Its
kind Is the new home of Woodard,
Clarke 4 Co.. which occupies the north
east corner of Alder and West Tark
streets. The structure contains eight
floors and double basement and with
the meszanine floor, it is virtually
a. ten-story building. It has been
named the Wood-Lark building.
The building has been under con

and labor, both in the building and
equipment, have been drawn almost ex
clusively from Portland firms and fac
tories. The fixtures on the first, second,
mezzanine floors and gallery basement
are of Philippine mahogany and were
manufactured in Portland. The site,
building and fixtures represent an in
vestment of approximately $325,000.
The structure was designed by Doylo,
Patterson A Beach and erected by the
Hurley-Mason Company. It Is of steel
and reinforced concrete fireproof con
struction, with sprinkler equipment,
and was designed to meet the growing
demands of the firm's business. This
property Is said to carry the lowest In
surance rate of any mercantile institu
tion in the city.
The building, with ten selling floors,
will be devoted exclusively to the
drug business and its allied branches,
such as surgical instruments, dental
supplies, electric apparatus and equip
ment, optical goods, microscopes and
supplies, and photographic and art
goods. In the basement, which is en
tirely devoted to the selling of
mercnanuise, i o -partment,
sundries and a beautiful onx
and marble soaa louniam.
second floor contains a department ror
mouldings, pictures and art goods, with
a rest room for women and telephone
exchanges for the public The second
floor is one of the attractive parts of
the building and has a ceiling 17 feet
in height. On the third floor Is the
dental department, the fourth floor the
surgical department and the remaining
floors are to be used exclusively for
the drug department. An important
feature is the complete equipment for
the weaving of surgical elastio hosiery,
with two large hand-looms. An X-ray
room has been Installed, where are
shown the most recent inventus iu
this branch of the profession. A sec

new industrial city. The big sawmill-the largest in Tillamook County-is about com

and this Fall will witness a great change in Brighton's aspect.
: Brighton is making preparations for the stupendous shipping business to come with
the completion of the Panama Canal and the deepening of the channel m fcchalem Bay.
Those who secure lots before development will reap the greatest profits. Progress
and expansion are great factors in value making. Tardy investors will bemoan then
apathy when such an opportunity as Brighton now affords presented itself. It docs
not require a large sum of money to secure a lot now. In a short time, however, !t will
require more, as prices cannot remain stationary in a town with Brighton s future.
Every step of improvement increases value in Brighton lots. Investors can make
double profits by buying NOW. Why wait and pay $200 for lots you can now buy for
$100? Make your idle money work for you. .

district to assure quiet and privacy,
and is admitted by men of the pro
fession who have seen it to be the
foremost, most conveniently ar
ranged and appropriately furnished
and appointed building of its kind
In America.
The floor and ground arrange
ment, almost entirely the Idea of
Mr. J. P, Finley, surpasses that of
onv other building of its kind. Not
oniy has the structure been designed
td facilitate the professional work
of the company, but the very things
company to remain always a step
or stride in advance of Its confreres.
Wh'le it has always been superior
in point of equipment. It is the pride
of Mr. Finley, Br., to be able to say
that the service rendered by his
concern has outdistanced the ma
terial advantages it has always en
joyed. There are few times In the life ot
any man that he calls upon the un
dertaker. When he does, as a rule,
for the first time, his unfamillarity
with that line of business compels
him to rely largely upon the honor
render the most courteous and
kindly treatment In his power, give
full value for the money received
and go Just A little further than
anvone would rare to ask has re
sulted in his ability and capability
to erect a building of which Port
land has a Jtiat right to be proud.
Service, first, last and all the time
practical service service that can
not help but be appreciated and ad
mired this is the Finley idea, pure
arid simple. Such service wins. The
present new structure of the com
pany Is ample evidence of it.
