No. 10. "To illumine the streets
or not to illumine" that is the ques-
tion. Only, there's no question but
what they will be illumined. First
impressions often convince the pros
pective investor more than persuasive
arguments The traveller gains his
impressions from the city's streets,
and remembers best the glittering
vistas of brilliant Broadway No
progressive city can afford to be
without adequate, artistic illumina-
tion. The idea has swept the coun-
try Cities everywhere are asking
themselves the question: "Why
don't we have Great White
Way?" and merchants are banding
together to install special display
street lighting, purely to promote
better business. Anything that tends
to increase the traffic on a business
street, and brings the people out on
the sidewalks in the evenings, means
better business for the merchants,
with a resultant influence on prop
erty values. We choose the bright
and cheerful street, and where we
walk we spend our money. Civic
pride is the surest step toward bet
ter municipal givernment. Anything
which adds to the general attract
iveness of the city excites interest in
its affairs, and fosters public spirit
and civic pride. Every citizen
should be able to "Point With
Pride" to his own city; but how
shall he do this when he sees such
deficiency as poor public lighting 7
Public lighting is a thing of so con-
spicuous and evident a nature that
there is no escaping the odium of an
unfavorable comparison Light up,
and keep lighted up. This company
is willing to assist in every way pos
sible. We appreciate the patronage
of the public and shall continue do
ing all we can to deserve your good
will. An electric fan is mighty
comfortable thing to have around
these hot days. And surprisingly
cheap to own and run, too. Ask us
about them. Now, you know us,
surely; but don't forget about our
ornamental street lighting PROPOSE

No. 5. From the falling of the
giant fir in the mountains of West
ern Oregon, through its metamor-
phosis in the mills and under the
skilled hands of the artist and me-
chanic, till its finish in the form of
an American home, the story of the
builders is one of inexhaustible inter-
est Through all its phases the max
ing of home is a great and a fine
art. Men who know what is best in
construction, in selecting of mate
rials, and in assisting Of others to
plan for themselves, men who can
save the people money, men who can
help the small home-builder, are
benefactors of the community in
which they live. Polk County is fa-
vored by having such men working
within its borders, helping create,
distribute and increase the wealth of
all. For instance, this company Of
men who specialize in assisting the
home builder, have harnessed the
water power of the county, have
miles of logging road, employ eight
or more donkey engines, besides hav-
ing a big payroll in other enterprises.
ms, the ............... company,
viii help you plan your home, will
give You all the advice and assistance
you need. The company then will do
your mill work, see that everything is
made as planned, and best of all will
do this work for you at prices that
cannot help but give you satisfaction.
One of their chief aims is 60 suit the
pocket book Of the small home
builder The chief element Of pat
riotism today is the patronizing Of
home industries. Because this COM
pany has one Of the largest payrolls
in the county; because its affords
for a large number Of
men: because il is a factor in the up I
building Of the county and the max
ing of the city; because it is a home
industry; because IL is a friend Of
the man with the small purse; and
because the best thing for a patriotic
citizen TO do Is 10 pairOnize home IN
dustries and keep money at home,
this company invites You 30 call at
their Offices and get acquainted.

To see all of his regular pa
tents and such new cases, as
may wish to consult him. DR..
Finch enjoys a state wide reput.
alton, among the profession and
the public of Indiana, where for
more than Forty years he has de-
voted his entire time to the Study
Treatment and Cure Of Chronic
Diseases. The Doctor has had
wonderful success in his chosen
work, that of curing chronic suf.
ferers, Men, Women and Child
rem. The Patients he has re-
stored to Health after they had
given up all hope of being Cured
are numbered by the Thousands.
He is a kind, generous, democrat
ic gentleman to meet, Of high
scholarly attachments, and diRni-
fled personality. Coupled with a
Fatherly interest, in all who seek
his advice. He does not take a
Patient for Treatment unless he
can foresee a Cure of the Case.
The most commendable feature
of his work, and one that appeals
to the ordinary sick person. is
the fact Of his charges being so
reasonable and moderate as to
make it within the reach of even
the very poor. At no time do
the charges amount to more than
$500 a month or about $3.50 a
week. He gives his own medi.
cines. and there are no extra
Charges. 1t takes him never
more than from four to six
Months to Cure a Case under
Treatment. All Cases, even
those who have been given up as
Incurable or Hopeless, have been
Cured and restored to perfect
health by this Brilliant Physician
and the wonderful methods he
employs.
If you want to meet him and
have him examine you, goto see
him, and talk the matter over
with him. 1t will cost you moth
ing if he does not put you under
treatment. If he takes your case
it will cost you a very small sum
to get well.
Remember the Date Wed. July
