t A FEW REASONS WHY WE ASK YOUR TRADE 1st. Because our line of General Merchandise is as a whole the most compre hensive shown in this county; and is better adapted to your requirements than others for it was selected with the experience acquired in supplying the local trade for twenty years. 2nd. Because this experience has demonstrated the fact that only the better qualities are acceptable to you, and that poor quality at any price does not appeal to you. We therefore eliminate the cheaper grades from our purchases, and offer in every item the quality which we can and do guarantee satisfactory. 3d. Because with us your money is as good as your neighbors and you are en titled to the same price on the same terms and quantities purchased, and the same way with your produce in the same kind and quality. Therefore no discrimina tion. 4th. , Because our discount for cash is a fair one between the cash and credit customers, and practically based on the interest rate for use of money. One gains the discount, the other the time, and in either case the goods cost but 95 cents on the dollar on the basis of 5 per cent discount, or six mouth's time; which on a ma jority of your purchases is just that much less than the amount asked you by the houses selling only for cash, and cutting a few prices jonly on the many thousand items you have to purchase. We therefore submit to you our claim of havrng the lowest average price on your requirements 5th, Because we furnish you the most goods for the money, when quality and price are considered, and while we do not claim our price to be lower on every' item, yet one could purchase a bill from us with his eyes shut and the price would aver age lower than from any other source in this market; 'and why? 6th Because our methods and policies are adopted after careful consideration of the interest of our patrons as well as our own'; and with , the view of building- a larger and better business each year by better service and lower prices. The antic ipated results of these reciprocal measures have been more, than ' realized by the marked growth of our business; resulting in a much larger outlet for merchandise ana consequentlv placine us m a hripr we buy rvi,iuuu nammc ' uuvvu luc price wnen fP?0OfOUrClaLraS7e.r1efert0 the Allowing prices which are figured as the actual cost to you, based either on our parT, AtJknn , (u given on account.

These mlsadjustments and contrac tions are sometimes quite pronounc ed, as in the case of a spinal curva ture; but more usually they are not la themselves very noticeable and can be detected only by the eye and hand of one especially skilled la this work. So that a considerable part of the usefulness of the Osteopath . lies in hie ability to locate these mechanical obstructions and to rec ognize them as the real causes of the malady. He knowa that they are the causes not ' only because he has been taught so during his long course In an- Osteopathic college, but because he has himself conquered disease of almost every character by restoring perfect structural adjustments. He Is not. experimenting or working bUhdly, but la proceeding along a course that Is made plain to him by acquired experience. Right Way. . Umpqua to Be Surveyed. . ROSEBURQ.
