Exchange of School Book*
The new school books that
have been adopted by the statei
are now for sale or exchange a t !
Staehr’s Bazaar. As there may
be a shortage of same on account
of greatly increased population
in this part of the country it will
be advisable for any one who can
to get their new books at once.
Following are the rules for ex­
change:
A book that was used last year
but not in use now, can be e x ­
changed for the new book that is
to take its place but it cannot be
exchanged for a book used in
a higher or lower grade. In oth­
er words the old small arithme­
tic is exchanged for a new small
arithmetic and etc.
The ex­
change price averages about one
half of the purchase price of the
new book. Books cannot be tak­
en in exchange unless they are
in good condition. Books with
loose or missing leaves or ir. any
other way torn or damaged can­
not be accepted.
As all of the new books belong
to the J . K. Gill Co. of Portland
it is impossible for us to give
credit to any one. Cash must
accompany each and all orders.
We also carry ¡a complete line of
school supplies of all kinds and
give better values than any store
in the county owing to the fact
that we buy in immense quanti­
ties and in most cases direct
from the factories.
