ENTERPRISE AND WALLOWA COUNTY.
Enterprise is the growing', lively county seat of
Wallowa county. It is centrally situated in the
county. It will draw from the vast land ad stocK
and general agricultural and mineral resources of
the county, sufficiently to become eventually a big
inland county seat.
It is a city of generous, busy hustlers.
It is rapidly building up with stone buildings.
In time it will be Known as the "Stone City."
Millions of the best building stone, soft and
free from lime and hardening on exposure, lie
within half a dozen miles of Enterprise.
There is water power enough flowing right
through the center of the city to run all the spin
dles and wheels of a great manufacturing center.
Enterprise is surrounded by as fine wheat land
as lies out of doors.
It draws from some of the best fruit land in
America.
When you come west, come to Enterprise and
loott Wallowa county over on the 0. R. & N. rail
road from La Grande.

T HREVER you happen to see a group of young
v " fellows you are most certain to find them wearing
clotlies of rare style and individuality. We don't claim
that these clothes are always of an exceptional quality,
but we do claim that young men affect certain features
which older people dont. In "College Chap Clothes"
we have been fortunate enough to find a quality which
is not by any means expensive, and features which are
strikingly young though not too young, for men who
wish to reiain their youthful appearance.
The Normandie, The Norfolk, the College Chap and
the College Chap, Jr, are four styles of young men's
garments. They ars classed under the name of "Col
lege Chap Clothes." They area branch of "Modern
Clothes," made by Brandegee, Kincaid & Co., tailor
shops at Utica. . ;
If you are particularly sensitive to style you had better
make it your business to call at our shop and inspect
these garments. You may rest assured of good treat
ment at the hands of skilled salesmen. . .
