Mr.. James Mccormack, preS1-

is a generally conceded fact that
the spirited debate over the tariff
question is having some effect on
the business situation. However,
believe that matters will soon
adjust themselves and greater
and stronger confidence in the
future will be the natural result.
l have learned from all sources
that money is becoming more
plentiful and that building activ-
tiles will take squirt in the early
fall. We look forward to an i'm
creased business during the COM

a phenomenal increase over last
year and we look forward to the
future feeling confident that gen.
luine values will find favor with
the Tacoma public. 1t has al
ways been our endeavor to gar
ner the markets for dependable
merchandise at the lowest posi-
BILE price. 1t is with this aim in
view that we are going into the
markets this fall and you may rest
assured that we will not come
back empty handed"
Mccormack Bros. are planning
many improvements for the COM
ing season. OF particular men

women's apparel section on the

apparel will hold full sway. An
other improvement will be the
