Edonomy is of course the main thing, but economy should not be sought at the expense pt qual ity. A good all-wool up-to-date garment is worth more than the shoddy or inferior kind. If you have been disappointed in the past it will be well for you to con sider these points before spending your money. While low prices are an essential factor to all purchases, es pecially during a sale, we desire to remind you that quality should receive just as much if not more con sideration. Trash is dear at any price; you do not want it Shop-worn garments can be bought at any time and almost anywhere for a song. Fix C, Radtke now offer you the very best just at the time you need them, at prices that will appeal to the better judgment of every woman and girl who wants good things, The red Price Tags will tell you all about the wonderful saving opportunities of this Forced Cash Raising Sale. "ft SQUARE DEAL" GOES WITH EW PURCHASE The reduction in prices are uniform, thus giving everyone the same chance to save on everything purchased. Catch-penny schemes and gold brick methods are never used or tolerated at FIX C& RADTKE'S and will not be used now We sell goods strictly on their merits, that they will give you more wear and service than ordinary merchandise bought at ordinary shops; ''Quality" is always remembered long after the "Price" is forgotten. i FIX RADTGf YOU'LL NEVER SCRATCH IN MONSINGWEAR Wear Thcm-You Will Like Them NG-'.'UNION - SUIT Give Complete Satisfaction Somehow, a few persons are even today prejudiced against union suits. Either they haye worn suits of inferior grade and were disappointed or prefer two-piece garments, not knowing the supreme comfort of a properly made union suit In either case they have not wornMUN SlrjTG UNION SUITS. No one should allow himself to be influenced against union suits until he has worn Munsing wear. After that, nothing could induce one to change back to any other make. I rf V ' 1 i J : U i "T A Molly Munsin Doll Cutout free with every purchase, - while they last, . . . P ' ' i Foley's Kidney Cure make kidneys aad bladder right. Munsing Union Suits are so thoroughly satisfactory because there's no slipping nor sliding to them-they always stay in place. They can't ride up nor slip down. They are shaped so as not to bind anywhere, yet fit perfectly in every part The web is very elastic and yields freely to any motion. As to washing, a Munsing Fit never washes out. In fact, each tubbing, if properly done, only serves to improve the fit and appearance of the garment. Being carefully knit of soft fine grade yarns, they cannot irritate even a supersensitive skin. You'll never scratch in Munsingwear. MOSGROVE MERCANTILE COMFY. Main and 3rd. Phone, Main 65. Athena, Oregon. " in iiiiim.
