The most modern fur store, show rooms and factory in the west is the claim made by John P. Plagemann, manager of H. Webes & Co., for their 'new and permanent location in Mult nomah block. After a brief inspec tion, the visitor will agree with Mr. Plagemann. as nothing has been left undone that could enhance the beauty of the premises.
