Do you remember shopping at
Gardner’s Men’s Wear?
With Valentine’s Day
around the corner, we’re
taking a trip back to Feb-
ruary 1, 1968, when Gard-
ner’s Men’s Wear ran a
playful and clever ad in The
Heppner Gazette. Instead
of chocolates or greeting
cards, the ad encouraged
wives and girlfriends to
“sock him, tie him, and
belt him” this Valentine’s
Day—of course, referring
to socks, ties, and belts!
“He’ll love you for it,”
the ad promised, suggesting
that a well-dressed man
made for a happy Valentine.
Whether it was a sharp new
tie, a warm pair of socks, or
a stylish belt to complete
the look, Gardner’s had just
the thing to make the men
of Heppner look their best.

It’s fun to imagine
women browsing the store,
picking out the perfect ac-
cessories, and maybe even
getting a little fashion ad-
vice from the friendly staff.
While today’s Valentine’s
Day gifts often lean toward
tech or experiences, there’s
something timeless about
giving a thoughtful, stylish
wardrobe update.
Do you remember
shopping at Gardner ’s
Men’s Wear? Did you—or
someone you know—ever
receive a Valentine’s gift
from there? We’d love to
hear your stories!

Chavez wins ‘Fun at the
Fair’ sewing machine
Adalia Chavez with her new
sewing machine. -Contributed
photo
Adalia Chavez was the
winner of a sewing machine
at the Fun at the Fair sewing
event in October. Morrow
County Fair Secretary Sue
Gibbs said Chavez had nev-
er sewn in her life before
that class and was “thrilled
to death” to win the sewing
machine.
Fun at the Fair is fund-
ed through a grant from
the Morrow County Cul-
tural Coalition. So far, the
event has featured classes
in art, flower arranging and
sewing.
The machine was do-
nated by the Gerry family in
Heppner, and Babette Wall
took the time to go over it
and make sure everything
was in working order before
Chavez received it.
