The Thanksgiving spirit is abroad in the land. At no
period in the history of our grand republic has a greater
reason been manifest for the earnest observance of this
distinctly American holiday than now. Today conditions
warrant the statement that the American people and our
nation have more to be thankful for than ever before.
The United States is at peace with all nations abroad and
in harmony at home; and while this is not unusual, it is
worthy of note. The influence of the nation for universal
peace, for social, educational, religious and industrial
progress and betterment is more active than ever; and
as a world power the United States has risen to a lead
ership whose strength lies in justice and equity to every
nation and individual. Back of all this is reposed the
force that moves and directs and controls it all the
AMERICAN PEOPLE. The quadrennial elections have
passed in quiet saneness and the outlook for a continuance
of prosperity was never quite so satisfying as now. Dif
ferences between capital and labor in the main are in the
way of peaceful settlement thro' modern arbitration. The
horrors of war are started to pass away at The Hague
and under the directing power of AMERICA'S "GRAND
YOUNG MAN" THE PRESIDENT. Crops are
abundant, employment is plenty ; surely there is great,
grand reason for THANKSGIVING. And this, PORT
LAND'S LARGEST, FOREMOST STORE joins in glad
acclaim, for never has prosperity smiled as now, never
has growth been so rapid and so healthful, never before
has good storekeeping been so possible and so thorough.
To our great public we extend earnest thanks today for
the liberal support of the past; we pledge ourselves to
strive end merit its continuance. And now "may good
digestion wait on appetite and health on both" Here's
to your family, and our great store family, and the whole
great American family may prosperity ever follow us.

DICKENS SAID: THE CHILD IS SMALL, AND ITS WORLD IS SMALL, and its rocking-horse stands as many hands high, according to
scale, as a big-boned Irish hunter." v
Well, here are the horses horses of high and low degree horses that will make their little owners prouder and happier than Cresceus makes
Mr. Ketcham, his owner. And wagons real as any that Adams Express Co. runs; and stores real as Olds, Wortman ft King's, and doll houses, ohi
such wonderful ones. Relative, as are ail things in this life houses of many rooms; smaller houses that work with the same sublime satisfaction to
the little girl whose really truly home is as fairly represented.
And, right here, let's get the snivel out of us. Happiness is confined to no money-bound radius. The sun shines equally bright into mansion
and cottage. Barring conditions of actual lack of necessities, one family has in it, or should have, as much of the element of happiness as another. The
learned man is not a point ahead in the race he knows only to know that he lacks much of knowing all. The rich man same fix, relatively. But
every individual lives on a plane and must have its toys and pleasures on that plane, else they affect the mind and imagination in no way that helps.
Don't covet; don't worry because some little girl will have a twenty-five dollar doll and yours a two-dollar one. Surroundings considered, the
gift is equal not a whit more or leas pleasurable to one than the other. The plane doesn't make the man; it simply regulates his diet of food and
other things. That's die thing to remember and to keep us all proud.
But the Toys Toys for all Portland. We laid the plans for them months ago with the workers in the Thuringian forests of Germany. We send
a man thousands of miles to buy them for Portland's little folk.
You see, Germany leads the world in toy making first: Because Germany loves childhood best and knows best how to develop it. Second :
Because it Is a very big and profitable business that fits the lives of the folks who follow it. Blessed the man who has found his work and
