We don't think that most men dress badly.
Sometimes they make mistakes, that's all, Every
man wants to dress correctly; a great many do.
We don't make the styles. It's our business
to select the best from the designs that are offered
each season. If "Best" were a comparative term,
we would say that we select the very best clothing
from the very best manufacturing tailors.
"The Best Clothes that are made" That was the
first stone in the foundation of our business. Then we
made the price of our clothing the Best Clothingthe
same as that of the ordinary kind. Most men know our
policy. If you haven't learned it, we would like to meet
you the next time you need a suit or a hat or a negligee
shirt, or anything that the best kind of a clothing store
should carry.

COMPANY WILL INSTALL IN THIS
CITY AN ABSOLUTELY MODERN
OFFICE AT CONSIDERABLE EX
PENSE RESULT OF ADVERTISING
The fact that tlie Western Union
Company U to move it office from its
prcaent location to No. 100 Twelfth
street, alongside the new Welnharil-
Astorw, Hotel, Ootohcr 1, haa more ig
iiilicance than appears on the surface of
the statement The Western Union will
not only change ita kajattion but will
apond eoverul thousand dollars in doing
10 and In fitting up the office and the
A D. T. wires in the citj The office
will be ono of the most modern on the
owi3t when completed and there will be
an addition of the American District
Telegraph of 150 boxes in this city and
the present boxes will be rewired and
renewed
R. T. Reed, auperintendent of the
oi'thwet of second district of the
Western Union, comprising the States of
Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Mon
tana, would not spend all tht money
in fitting up a new office if he was not
well assured that Astoria is going to
grow Into a big city, He will have an
office here that will be second to none
on the coast. Mr. Reed, by virtue of
his position, ia familiar with all the
railroad manipulations throughout the
country j if he isn't, the head offices of
the company are. Wherever a new rail
road goea there tho Western Union key
men are found. Where the terminals of
railroads occur there the Western Union
as a large enough office to handle all
the business.
It is known that Mr. Reed has recent
ly been-in communication with several
of te railroad interests which are build
ing towttrda Astoria and his order for
a new office on recommendation of C. W.
Lamar, the local manager of the com
pany, and it Is well to assume that the
improvements here with the Western
Union, are only made to meet those of
the railroad companies.
When Mr. Reed waa in Astoria on a
recent visit he remarked to Mr. Lamar
in connection with the moving of the
offices v
"The company is making this change
because it firmly believes in the future
of this city and ia merely preparing for
the time when it will have to meet more
business. Astoria la on the front page of
progress and the company is willing to
cnrryi out its part. It will not be re
sponsible here with a small office when
the city is growing and prosperity is on
every side." '
Mr. Reed had not been in Astoria and
only came after continued invitation by
Mr. Lamar and being furnished cup
pings from newspapers concerning the fu
ture of this city. This is one of the
best ways of advertising and if every
manager of an outside company would
furnish its publicity bureau or superin
tendent witih newspaper clippings con
cerning Atoria there would be more
frequent visits from the big men and
later on improvements aa a result of
these visits. It ia certainly a good way
to advertise and Mr. Lamar's system has
shown results.
The office will be finished throughout
in oak. The plans that are being drawn
now provide for as convenient and as
efficient office aa the San Francisco
office of the company. There will be a"
waiting room for customers and tele
gram desks fitted out with blanks, check
books and mil other documents needed
for transacting business over the lines; I
There will be a thoroughly! modern
A. D. T, system and employes enough
to provide prompt aervice to all parts of
the city.
