They do a general merchan dise business, and In eonueotlon ilo an auctioneering and cpinniission business, buy and sell real estate, cattle, horses and also act as aj) pralsers, aduilnlstnitors, assignees and accountants. They have ex perienced help that are competent to act in all the above capacities on short notice. The best of references can be given as required, and bonds to any amount necessary. They have given the best of satisfaction as ap praisers and assignees. The Capitol Adventure Co. haw, for the short time they have been In business, shown to the public that they are doing a legitimate business, worthy of their patronage. Among their patrons you will Hud tho besi farmers, who exchange their pro duets to them for their wares; the mechanics and laborers, who know the value of a dollar, and where to invest it; also the rellued and tal ented people go there for their elegant wares. The immigrants soon Ihul themselves to homo at the oiierii house corner, for tho reason that tho Capitol Adventure Co. sell from ton to twenty-live per cent, eheaper.than any other house in the WM.

Second, They have leased the olegiuit 0Kra Houso building for a long time for almost nominal rout. They have the most commodious and best lighted store rooms In the city. They carry n full and com plete stock of dry goods, clothing, lints, boots and shoes, ladles' ami gents, furnishing goods, jewelry and silverware, notions, stationery and cutlery, groceries, in fact a general variety such as are usually kept in a llrst class Htore. The I apltol Ad venture Co. Is about the only linn in Salem that tries to command tho farmers' trade by buying all their merchantable products, and they re tail the farmers' products the same prices they nay, thus saving to tho mechanics and laborers from ten to twenty per wnt. for the real necessaries of life. Therefore the Capitol Adventure Co. asks for the continuance of the public's patron age. You will llml them at the OiH'ra House corner, Court and Liberty streets, Salem, Oregon. Eucii:m: Wu.i.i.s, S.
