HOME After A MONTH IN EAST
Bridge Clothing Store Proprietor Pur-
chases Goods In the Big
Trade Centers.

Alvin G. Baumeister, proprietor of
the Bridge Clothing store, opposite the
Main street bridge returned to the
city Saturday after spending a month
in the east purchasing new fall goods.
While away Mr.. Baumeister visited
Chicago, New York city, st. Paul and
several other prominent trade centers.
To reporter he said while east I
spent a busy month. In addition
to purchasing goods 1 was also on the
lookout for much up-to-date store fix
lures. The fixtures l secured will be
something new for this city.
I'm the east everybody seems to be
busy and l wasn't in a city that is
not doing considerable building this
year. In clothing and mems furnish
ings. 1 discovered many new things
on the market. Of these I did not pur-
chase lightly and the new goods will
be here in a few weeks. I'm confident
that they will be of kind to please
the many patrons of the Bridge Cloth
ing store Especially will the Bridge
Clothing store be strong this fall in up
to-date haberdashery. Of these goods
1 purchased many attractive lines
In concluding the interview Mr..
Baumeister said:
"While 1 wouldn't object to making
an occasional trip through the east, l
do not think that l would care to live
there and YOU can put it in black
faced type that "Walla WalIa is good
enough for me-"
