fortably located in the fine brick block
of the Masonic society on the corner OF
Court and Third where the main store
room measures 24x7O feet, besides a
largeroom used for storing grain and
Potatoes and q 'capacious shed for the
storage of coal OIL In addition to this
space, as the firm deals largely in hay as
well as grain and mill feed, barn
building back of their residence on Full
ton street is used for the storage of the
former commodity. The main thing
that impressed itself on the mind of the
writer as he walked through the various
departments of the store was the amount
of business that must be done to justify
the amount of stock on hands. Instead
ofsa box Of soap here and can of some
thing else yonder so placed as to fill up
the space, stacks of boxes and cases and
immense heaps of sacks and bags are
piled up so as to make space, instead
of fill it up, Beside large variety of
green apples in fine condition and of
strikingiy fine quality the writer was
pleased to note an unusually large and
excellent variety of dried fruits, which,
we learned, were nearly all of home pro-
duct. Here was stack containing
thirty-five fifty-pound boxes of dried
Italian prunes, all produced at home
aud better, as we were informed and be-
lieve, than any that come from Califor-
mia. AS proof of this they bring better
prices than do California prunss in the
Portland market. We were shown dried
prunes that Joles Brothers bought from
A. Y: Marsh, of Cheuoweth Greek and
if there are any better on the American
continent we would like to see them.
A lot of dried Tokay and Muscat grapes
produced by Frank Creighton of Three
Mile deserves more than mere mention.
They are in every respect equal to the
best California or White London raisins,
while they are sold at half the price
twelve pounds for a dollar. We be-
lieve many a housewife will thank
Us for calling attention to Frank
Creipton's dried grapes. They give such
good satisfaction that Tom Joles says he
would buy three or four tons of them if
he could get them. UP till the time of
the fire last year JoIes Brothers had
shipped upwards of 5000 boxes of green
fruit, chiefly to Spokane, Helena, Cheney,
Heppner and other towns east, while
they had made numerous shipments of
cherries, in the season, to Tacoma and
Seattle. At present they dispose of
about $50 boxes of apples month in
the store. The firm deals largely in farm
products buying everything they can
from our own farmers. Besides this they
ship corn from Nebraska and at present
have car load on the way. Year before
last when feed was scarce in this section
they shipped and disposed of fifteen car
loads. The firm reaps a big advantage
by buying such heavy articles as sugar,
salt, and coal oil in car load lots, and
they are both able and willing to give
the benefit to their customers. They
were the first to ship by the Regulator
and the first to reduce prices in confor-
nifty to reduced rates. They deal largely
in Japan sugar, which they sell about "a
OF a cent pound cheaper than similar
grade of American sugar and claim that

articles we have mentioned there is a
full line of everything usually found in
first class grocery store such as canned
goods of every description, teas, coffees,
spices, syrups, lard, bacon, garden seeds,
tobacco, cigars, candies, Quaker and
rolled oats and -four, besides the famous
Radham's Microbe Killer of which they
are the special agents and of which they
have sold since last October over 800
gallon jugs and concerning whose merits
they can boast that the patient who has
ever taken a regular course of treatment
of the Microbe Killer has never died on
their hands or ever had relapse, unless
when he gave up taking the medicine or
changed doctors. When asked if the
sale of the Microbe Killer kept increas-
ing the significant answer was returned.
SIT is not quite SO large as it was because
all the many chronic cases who used to
buy it are cured and don't need it any
more But we have reached the limit
of this article and we close it with the
remark made by Tom Joles when the
writer spoke of the heavy stock the firm
Carried. SIT is all paid for and we don't
owe dollar in the world
Very Honorable Act.
