DEEP, RICH PAINTING
Art Work Of High Order Carried
Out in Style That Appeals To All.

There are beauty spots all over
natGre, and there are about as many
that nature never had anything to do
with. These are the creation of man,
pure and simple. About the most
beautiful creation that we have noticed
lately, and in line to which your
thoughts Of the beautiful are seldom
inclined to run, are those handsome
vehicles on exhibition at the repository
Of Wagner Brothers, on Main street..
Dallas, Oregon. Those deep, rich
colors in the painting, the piano-like
finish, the soft and eleganttrimmings,
the beautiful lines in the designing Of
the goods all speak of their unsur-
passed quality. 'Tis a well-known
fact among those versed in this class
Of goods that the make of vehicles
that they carry is the best in the
world, and we are told that prices are
extremely reasonable-even lower
than would be asked for the same
goods in a New York repository.
