: " Vincent Cook, 'pioneer jsshnon canner,
died ..bite Wednesday afternoon at his
home. No. 43 ;Jifth street, after an.
illness f several week, His death
at, the age of tl marked 'the close of
one of the most ' interesting- personal
histories' In ,. . the chronicles of the
growth of Portland. . fasOwas- one of a
remarkable (roup of pioneers who con
tributed much tp the foundation of the
present commercial activity of the
r: community. Hie was the first depart
ment store in Portland. , . He was e
pioneer in the salmon, parkins indus
try and he began his life in Portland
in the' tent and awning; business.
Born of English parentage in Chi
cago February 24, . 1841,. where his
father .was an expert cabinetmaker, he
journeyed from New YotI at the age
of 17 with his: mother, making-. the trip
oa the - passenger ship tfStar of the
West". . . j ,-;-" ;
COXE& BT BOAT ' ? .
' The Journey was made; by way of
JClcarauftie rite Greytown, thence to
San Francisco "and Portland; He spent
five - years ea his father donation
claim to Washington county and then
came to the town to enter employment
with hie brother who was in the tent
and - awning business, i Three years
later be entered the drygoods ftan of
Clarke, Henderson Jfc Cook, the store
located at . First and Washington
streets, . where . he - remained tor six
years, - when he entered the salmon
pacMhi business.-T'j; - ..- ,r
i The story of his new .enterprise is
an. interesting one. Vincent Cook, as
a, young man, had observed the suc
cess of John Quinn and his able wife,
who. had 'the first fish market lit Port
land. They were the first to. cut op
the fish to the ; proportions desired by
the customers, - and '; it .was John
-Quran's wife who kept shop while John
delivered .the fish. Mrs- Quinn bad
made the statement that when, they
had made $20,000 she would buy her
self the finest silk dress to be had in
town.. One day, she r- presented herself
at the (dry goods store and beamed
upon- lncent ; Cook.-, who jokingly
asked her iishe had made her stake.
8TBE MAKES GOOD ' :
I have," . said Mral Quinn. "and
I've corae for that dress." , t -
After Ke sale was made, 20 yards
of the material being recommended by
Mr. Cook as the required amount, he
said to her: "Mrs. Quinn. 1 could well
afford to 'give you - that dress, for -you
have taaght me somethiagv If you ami
John could make J2Q.0OO . InNi.he fish
business, I'm ready; to sell out. and
make mine.".
Thus- it was that Vincent Cook: sold
his interest In the -dry goods firm and
entered the pacfcins; business, in which
he took an active 'part nntil Hit. The
first salmon were packed who , ha
cans the shape of the fteh, and it was
not'onUI years later that, the present
form was devised. i " yT. '- "
In 1S8S 'Sir. . Cook entered : partner
ship with Captain A., P. Ankeny and
H. E. -Ankeny in the Sterling- Mining
company, from, which he retired 1 in
X896. The mine was one of the rich
est in v Oregon, producing as high as
50.000 to the ton. t
Mr. Cook iTOarried. Oronoco An
keny, who died" in 1897. In 1907 he
.married Mrs. Martha G. Croweu, who
survives him. One son, RayiA. Cook,
lives in Southern Oregon. I Another
son., Floyd J, Cook, lives hi Portland,
and his daughter, Llia A, Mrs. George
Maxwell,' lives in Aspgrove, Klamath
county.. He was one -of the oldest
members of the I. O. O. F. in the state

The Price We Pay
for the fabrics', and the work in
their creation is the highest paid
by any producer in America in
comparison with the selling price.
When a woman, pays us $16
for a Coat, Suit, Dress or
Wrap, she comes nearer buy
ing at. manufacturer's cost
iiian in any other purchase
she can make.
Year in and Year out these
sensational values (are at y&ir
finger-tips in every "Sweet Six
teen" shopv' '
-, It is not a question with wom
len if they can get what they
want at any time. The question
is that of making a decision from
the many delightful' studies it jis
her privilegeto select from. ,
If a woman, charmed by the
lovely styling of these "Sweet
.Sixteen" frocks at $16, prefers
to carry the style schenie into
higher-grade garments," we have
them for her in quite as broad a
collection, not at all priced! as
high as warranted, but priced
the -sweet Sixteen way. ,
