THE BEST ROUTE TO
KLONDIKE
Is by way of the Calhou
Grocery Co. The mining
man can always find there
just what he wants at just
the right price. By the ex
pression “Klondike” we
mean the Klondike of Jos
ephine County. There’s
no use of going to that
country of eternal ice and
frost to look for gold, when
we have so much of it right
here at home. Don’t be
lieve all you read or hear
about Alaska, it is far bet
ter to convince yourselves
of the richness of Southern
Oregon. An ounce of sat
isfaction is worth a ton of
talk. The last remark al
ludes to our stock of gro
ceries as well as mining.
We are not miners but we
are interested in mining
just the same and we th ink
we can interest all the
miners who are in need of
a bill of grub. Where
others catch fish is a good
place for vou to go. Any
one who has bought gro
ceries here will tell you
this is the place to get right
goods at right prices.
