KNOW That they can always depend on getting their money’s worth whenever they make a purchase from us. But what is really more important is the fact that people who are not expert judges of values are served just as well— in other words, we treat everybody alike, everybody gets full value for every cent spent over our counters. Price Isn 't Everything With Us The Fair Japan concession building on the trail is now in course of con struction. It will be finished, the con- cessioniare says, a week before the opening day. This is to be one of the ! most interesting features of the Trail. Why can’t Washington county have The Easter dress parade at the Ex a map? It seems too bad that a county position was gorgeous.

If it is made of poor material it’s dear at any price So when we call an article cheap, we mean that it has intrinsic value— that it is made of dependable material— that it is sold at less than the regular price. W e have some thing to interest you this week and the prices speak for themselves. We Serve You Better N o matter whether you are interested in specially low prices, or whether you care more about size of assortment. W e take pardonable pride in the manner in which our stocks are kept up and we are always on the qui vive so that nowhere else can you find your every day necessities at prices as low as those we quote you every day in the week. Just come and take a look at what we have. You’ll find that you can depend on our statements both as to values and price. We Will Fill Any Order for You If you have been in the habit of sending away for your goods to some of the large mail order houses, we would like you to come in next time you have orders. W e will prove to you that we can fill the order with better goods for the same money. In addition, we save you the freight charges and the expense of sending your money and lastly, we take every risk of not satisfying you. You don’t have to pay a cent until you see whether the goods are what you want. It’s simply a matter of dollars and cents to you so why not get the most you possibly can. Let’s prove it to you. Special Values in Hosiery and Underwear The word “special” in this case means out-of-the ordinary, in fact these values are so much better than regular that you can only appreciate them by examining them. But the lots are limited so better not wait, or the other fellow may get what you wanted. Good Clothes for Men and Boys “Good Clothes” with us means clothes well made of good material. You prefer that kind, don’t you? Well, then come where you can always be sure of getting them no matter how low the price and this week our prices are particularly interest ing to economical buyers. See our window dis play of trousers. Satisfactory Shoes Both in Style and Price Quality is understood of course— we can’t sell anything but good shoes. When these three are combined it’s an easy matter to sell the shoe and that explains why our shoe department is always busy. If you are not now a customer of ours, suppose you try us on your next pair. You won’t loose out. Stylish Effects in Shirts and Neckwear The new styles appeal to dressers of good taste — nothing guady about them but plenty of chance for individuality to show itself.
