Our
Specialty
Our idea of getting business and holding bus
iness are perhaps somewhat different from
some other clothing stores.
We believe in giving every man value
received. We know by experience that we
are selling the finest fabrics and the finest tail
ored garments that are in the market.
Our buying is not done in a haphazard
manner, but is a question of study and con
sideration. We see to it that every garment
fits before it leaves our store. Let us show
you our system; it will please you.
OUR FALL CLOTHES
Are business getters You simply can't get
away from our stock. We can please the
most critical; our prices are right.

It is the duty of all Oregonians tc
patronize the fair, as it is an agricul
tural exposition in every sense of the
word. The sum of $10,000, appropriat
ed by the legislature for premiums on
livestock and agrcultural and manu
factured products, is widely distribut
ed and does much towards assisting
in the development of the agricul
tural resources of the state and the
upper Pacific Coast.
