A neat little reading notice to the
editors and publishers of Oregon and
Washington sent out by E. E. Beard,
chairman of the executive committee,
reads something like this:
"You may think" you can't come. Mi
nus sltrn thinking doesn't pay. You've a
plus think coming. It's dollars In your
pBcket to get out once each year and
shake the type lies' from jou old
clothes. Every organization of trades
men in the country, not excepting the
Hop Buyers' Union, does this, and with
profit to the members. Why not- you,
one of the leaders of thought and prog
ress? Bemember the date and bring
your wife. If you haven't sense enougn

and propose to her while on the trip,
if you haven't the courage to do this
the committee on 'make up' will be
there to Jielp you."

Shoe Satisfaction Guaranteed
With Selz Royal Bloe Shoe
It's easy, and customary, to guarantee shoes to
be good; nobody can tell
whether they're good or not
until you pay for them and
wear them. Even then they
might not be satisfactory;
goodness isn't the only thing
a man wants in shoes.
Selz Royal Blue Shoes are
guaranteed to satisfy the
wearc-V; whatever" "satisfy"
means. You know what it
means in vour case. The
guarantee lasts as long as you want it to last;
it the shoes don t satisiy you, come in and watch
us make good.-.
The guarantee is on the shoes, signed by the
maker.
