Career Began in Godrich,

Has Been Rapid Suc
cess Marked.
J. C. Mann bopan his career in
the business world 51 years &tio in
G ml rich, Ontario, working In a gen-
.IOIIV C. MANN
rriil inerehnwUso store for five dnl
hrs a month. He stayed there limit'
us, serving an apprenticeship,
until he was 17.
Fur 20 years Mr. Mann clerked
nt Medley's dry good.s Htore in St.
Paul, Minnesota, and at the end of
that time purchased the business.
"When I came to Medford 20
years ago I had u return trip tick. 4
in my pocket and no definite idea
nf locating in southern Oregon.
This part of the state was in the
midst of ft boom' and the prospects
looked rosy," Mr. Mann said.
"linker and Hutchison's store
was conducting n bankrupt sale at
their location on North Central
and Mr. Mann bought up the stock
and established Mann's Depart
ment store. The store occupied a
."tO-foot frontage and was devoted
to women ready-to-wear and dry
goods. Six clerks were employed at
that time. The return trip ticket
was used after all. for Mann's store
was so well-patronized that it was
necessary for the owner to make
a trip to St. Paul to secure mo:e
merchandise.
The first expansion to lie made
hy-rMann'fl; was- five-years -after the
opening. -'when the store occupied by
Wold & Ueddy was added. In ISC'd
the ntore was enlarged by taking
over the second floor and including
the Main Street store. The Men's
department was also added during
that year.
Korty men and women are now
employed on the force at Mann'-
Department store and the business
has never experienced a bad year,
according to the owner
"1 credit, our outstanding success
during these 20 years in iledfor.l
to good merchandise! and service,
and expect to continue serving the
people of southern Oregon on the
same high scale." Mr. Mann stated.

Manufacturing of
Handkerchiefs Is
Interesting Story
Generally spenkinn handker
chiefs are made of three materials:
Linen, cotton and silk. Of tho three
by far the most popular Is the
handkerchief made ,of linen, ns
linen has the wef'.rlnc qualities and
the character which ejves the hand
kerchief'a soft fine appearance.
A large part of the handkerchiefs
made from linen come from Ire
land, the chi"f source of supply foe
linen material. I.lnen handkerchief
materials are usually divided into
two divisions, called Sheer I.lnens
and Cambric Linens. The sheer lin
ens are generally used for women'
handkerchiefs and the cambric for
men's, as the latter material is
somewhat heavier and wears a bit.
b-ttei; than the sheerer fabrics.
It fs very Interesting to see the
amount of preparation going into
the production of these goods. Take
for instance a ladles' printed and
embroidered handkerchief. In the
first place, the design for the print
must lie drawn this Is usually
done by artists In I'.iris and tin
desiens are drawn up from sugges
tions given by those who direct the
preparation of handkerchief line.
After the design is drawn up .
block must be cut for the printing.
This block can be simple or Intri
cate, depending uoon the character
of Ihc design, and It must he cut
by skilled operators who under
stand their work thoroughly. The
cutting of these blocks Is usually
done in Kneland where workmen
have been doing this for years.
When the block is cm find colors
are derided upon for the handker
chief, the linen material is laid out
on long tables and each handker
chief is stamped nr printed on the
linen material by an expert printer.
The block Is laid on the material
dipped In the cidor and pounded
on the back In order to force the
color through the linen. This .s
done on long pl"ce of linen mated.-1
and after the piece has bee.i
printed. It has to be soaped ff to
remove the excess color which Is
forced into the material. ,
NVxt. it Is steamed for a consider
able length nf time to set the
color, so It will not run In washing.
Then It Is hung nut on racks to
thoroughly dry. fni" Is the first
process. After the handkerchief Is
printed and thoroughly dried. II Is
cut up Into squares and either
hemstitched nr band-rolled, which
ever the case may be; then sent out
Into the country for hand em
broidering. Then the handkerchis
.ire sent outs1'" various parts of

Summer Styles Are

Now that the g;rent fashion con- j

satisfaction of nil, we nre holding!
our breath wondering what will j
happen next. The radical chance;

very soon. It was necessary In or-1

I.'lnres and plaits nre seen every
where, the plaits being a little

ors prevail. Surely we couldn't tisk
for more.
For street wear, the tailored
suit with a nlpin'd-ln waist and an
even hemline about four or five
inches below the knee Is Infallible.
Feminine touches are added by
means of charming blouses and ac-t

Is set black nnd white Is Indispen
sable ns a combination color. Our
accessories have a flair for the
black-and-white r.nd for every
mode. ;
Kor instance, the choker: "We
won't be too w hite," say the cloudy
crystals of this Mycrest choker
necklace. 'And we'll vary our de
gree of blackness to aid you." say
the gracefully rounded hematite
beads In black nnd gun metal. Hut
little crystals sparkle blissfully be
tween. And the Scarf: t'.biek-nnd-whllc

claims to fame laid by Ibis crepe
de chine scarf with the "whlrly"
design executed in a decidedly
modern manner. The startling black
and white is n most neenrnte con
ception of what we mean bv
"lloth."
And the lingerie touch: A wee. bit
o' black on wee ruffle of whl-.e
edges, this most feminine collar
nnd cuff set. Without the black. It
would be listless: with the hlack It
is alert, Just a llf.le exciting as
modern styles must be to be truly

Kven the llmhrelln: "Sixteen silvery-white

the fumlly skeleton, but here It de
scribes tlie frame of a very smart

displayed in the design marching

And the Purse: Just enough

The story of a
BAG
AIR MAIL
A year ago or so a worrian came to this
store and ordered a certain kind of a leath
er bag which was a special order to cost
her S10.95. The bag had to be here on n
certain date as this woman was leaving on
a vacation trip. We ordered the bag from
an eastern manufacturer. It was shipped
at once but on arrival was found to be the
wrong bag and only two days before the
woman's vacation, but we could not disap
point this woman. A wire was sent to the
manufacturer to air mail the right bag. It
arrived in time for the woman to leave on
her vacation. The cost of telegram and air
mail was over $12.00 yet the woman paid
only her $10.95 for the bag. There Is no
substitute for this kind of service.
