There protably isnTa reader of this'newspaper who will not want to buy some bonse famishing article or other between now and the holidays. So, 'tis quite proper for a store that feels quite sure it is better able to serve yon than any other to have a word with you at about this time. As things go in Walla Walla (and they certainly go to suit ns) the DAVIS-KASER- store has made probably the greatest success of all stores here. At least, we have tried hard and earnestly to do everything in the world tha would ordinarily biing snocess to a store. The rapid almost pbenomioal increase in our tnsiness wond indi cate that we are at least pleasing a great majority of the buying public; and, for this we feel highly gratified and thankfnl. Oar customers always come the second, and the third time, and this of course, is the basis of our success. We want to, therefore, talk to those who have not tried trading here as yet. We want to say to you, TRY. If we do not make your trading both pleasant and profitable we incur a great business risk. At least, that is the way we figure it, for to have a disappointed customer is about the worst thing that can happen to a store. Yon can rest assured, there fore, that yon will like your trading here when yon try. All DAVIS KASER patrons are more than satisfied they are pleased. There will from now till the holidays be a whole lot of valuable, sen sible store news from here. It will be news that thrifty and thinking housewives will appreciate and profit by. We will make it as interesting as possible." We'll be right glad and so will yon if yon accept this in vitation to become a DAVIS-KASER Customer. The Davis-Kaser Company .
