ID. A. White n Sons.

When a business house has been
located in one place for nearly six
teen years and in that time has
catered successfully TO the public, II
is very good evidence OF first class
goods and service afforded the pat
rons.
This is the record OF ID. A. White
& Sons. who are wholesale and re-
tail 'feedmen and seedmen." Mr..
White established this business in
Salem In 1891 on rather a small
scale, but by honest and upright deal
ings with the public. together with
desire TO go up higher In the busi-
ness scale. each year brought an in
crease in the volume OF business, un-
Ill now his establishment ranks
among the leading ones OF its kind
In the state OF Oregon.
Some idea Of the business this
frm is doing may be obtained when
We say that they utilize over $4,000
feet OF space, which is entirely taken
up by the large and extensive stock
which Is carried at all times. d. A.
White & Sons are extensive deal
ers In all kinds Of feed. seeds. bee
and poultry supplies. The Purina
egg food. which is to be found at
their place. is one OF their special
brands and is highly recommended
by all poultrymen throughout the
country The prices quoted by this
house are very reasonable and the
goods are unsurpassed for quality
and excellence.
The magnitude OF stock and eouip-
ment, the volume OF patronage en-
Ioyed' to say nothing OF the excellent
reputation OF reliability and intee.
