Yesterday morning Miss Alexander
and Mr. Chick both went to the train
to meet Mr. Chick's mother and when
the train arrived the reunion was com
plete. Companions Are Astounded. '
While waiting for the Southern Pa
cific to arrive. Mr. Chick went up
fcixth street for a block or two and
met his employer. Louis B. Marks, a
novelty manufacturer, talking with
friends ot Chick's. They were, dis
cussing the sort of flowers that would
be best to adorn the grave of their
late companion. Chick's advent swept
them oft their feet and they glanced
at each other in amazement. When
Chick told them that he would just
as soon have cigars as flowers they
revived and asked how it all happened.
Mr. Chick is at a loss to account
for the fact that he was mistaken for
the dead man. for he went to the
morgue himself and said that there
were few points of similarity that he
could discover.
"I could not make anyone believe
that I was still alive," was Chick's
parting comment.
BRAND NAME IS CHOSEN
Lewis County Cannery Adopts Ab
breviation "Ijcwco."
CHEHALIS. Wash., Oct. 23. (Spe
cial.) The management of the Lewis
County Canning Association has
adopted a label which it is believed will
prove popular as a trade getter and
which is in keeping with the historical
associations of the Pacific Northwest.
It Is "Lewco," being an abbreviation
for Lewis.
As Lewis County was the mother
county of practically all of this part
of old Oregon and this part of Wash
ineton, it is thought the name will
prove popular, and the management
hopes to have this eventually become
a household- word in the Northwest
home, where choice food products are
consumed.

have been patient with us we express
our sincere thanks and deep apprecia
tion. And to this thanks we add this
promise a full stock of Firestone Tires
and Tubes in all sires and styles will bo found

We have never stopped adding toour enormous
plant. The large wings, adding acres of floor
space, that were constructed last year are now
swelling our output with their efficient pro
ductiveness. This has enabled us to catch up
to demand. And as "most miles per dollar"
wins more and more converts to the host of
Pirestone users there will be more factory
additions in readiness to answer the demand.
Never before has the car owning public been
so positive and so unanimous ia its verdict.
Never before has the tire industry been mads
to feel so keenly the intelligent discriminar
