It naa been written about by editors, poets. nrf novelists, and many virtues nave hMn added to it that Its makers do not even claim. However. It is an excellent vs an exceedingly excellent article. It Is different from, anything In ita line on the market. Animal rats do not enter Into Its makeup, hence at the very outset it haa a talking point of great merit. Ita healing, aootning, ort enlng, to Bay nothing of It cleansing qualities, are directly attributable to the natural mineral ash that Is exclusively used in its manufacture. The capacity of the Rainier -Mine company la 40.000 bars per day and L. 8.

Fifty years In business is rare ln the business annals of America. Few firms have consecutively held the same trade mark over their goods for that length of time and fewer still standing through a hundred years of experience. Practically Bam Plrm Today.. It is practically the same firm today that started In the little Front street establishment 60 years ago. The name la still the aame. but it la not the same two ambitloua young men who saw the future and grasped wnat it naa to oirer. Historical facta are not always in teresting, but the history of individuals alwaya appeals to a not or numan in terest. ' A. Meier, founder of the Irm, wa born In Mettenneim, uarmany. in 1881. He came to Portland overland in 1867 and immediately laid Uie founda tions for what haa rrown to be the laraest retail mercantile house west of Chicago. He died In August. 188, but not aa ln the case of so many builders Ijjntll he naa seen tne iruns ui um nnhnrR It wa while planning tne removal oi the store on f ront. atreei to tne present lnhnri.il nuirtvra at Fifth and Morri son that the end came. Thousands of old-time patron remember Mr. Meter aa a merchant of few equal. There wa that about him that not only Inspired confidence, but created admiration. It wa probably hi own pronallty more than any other cauae that began the foundation for the Immense firm of today. Cover Mora Than Half Block.

Some day we may give better clothing at lower prices than we do now but it isn't likely. For an instance, take our two and three-piece Summer Suits for men at $15, $20 and $25. It would be hard to find more value than is represented in these lines. The garments, which include serges, worsteds, crashes and homespuns, are designed, cut and tailored by skillful hands. The material looks its quality, which is proven by service. In guessing the cost of these suits, you would put it at about a third higher than our prices.
