Entered as second-class m atter Jan. 12, 1916, at the postotUce a t Forest Grove, Oregon, under the Act of March 3, 1871* ANNOUNCEMENT THURSDAY, FEB. 15 1917 NOTES AND CO H M E N T S Two Months ago we announced through the newspapers that we were going to close out our stock of goods and quit business. We were sincere in making this statement, as we fully intended to do so. Since that time one of our most popular mer chants sold his stock of goods and has retired from business and we now feel that conditions warrant our remaining in business. We have disposed of our Stock of Groceries, which gives us more room to handle the lines we de sire to carry. Our stock will include Dry Goods, No tions, Ladies’ Shirt Waists, House Dresses, Middies, Aprons, Kimonas, Men’s and Hoys’ Clothing, Gents’ Furnishings, Men’s, Boys’, Ladies’ and Misses’ Shoes; in fact, a general line. Many of our lines are broken at present, but we are prepared to supply our customers with staple goods. We are now moving and rearranging our store to make room for the new stock, which will soon ar rive. An invitation is extended to everybody to come to our store, because we are going to have some thing attractive to show them. We will-still continue to buy Eggs, Mohair and Wool and pay the highest price.
