Great Department Store Adds to Varied Line of
Goods-Experts in Charge.

For "a years the J. NJ. High Com
pany has been known to the people
of Atlanta and the South. Beginning
i'm a small way, its progressive policy
has succeeded year by year until now
it is one of the finest department
stores in the whole country.
From the very first the company
was a success. Service was the slo-
gan of those at the head Of the enter
prise, and the matter OF service has
been emphasized with increasing
vigor through the successive steps OF
building the business up from gen.
eral dry goods store to one of varied
departments.
The High Company was one OF the
first concerns in this part of the
United States TO establish q mail or
der business in connection with its
other affairs. The new feature made
an instantaneous hit with the public,
because it was cast upon popular and
progressive lines, and was a real aid
Big Mail Order Business.
To-day the mail order business OF
the ]. NJ. High Company is one OF the
largest in the South. A small army
OF men and women is kept constantly
busy with the affairs Of this end OF
the firms business, and the work has
been reduced TO such system that
thousands upon thousands of bundles,
large and small can be handled cas-
lily and with dispatch
The company has always been on
the alert to give the public what 1t
wanted. The firms buyers in the
Eastern and other markets are con-
stantly on the lookout for the very
latest in all lines of the dry goods
trade, and as a result the J. M. High
store is filled with fresh goods OF the
very latest make and model.
The enormous business transacted
every year by the company makes 1t
possible to keep the shelves and ccun-
tiers filled with nothing but the very
newest goods. There's no chance for
old stock accommodating.
A Variety of Lines.
Years ago those at the head of the
company were convinced that the best
way to serve the public was to offer
variety of lines. That original idea
has been enlarged upon from time to

used TO give this reason for her long
continued patronage of Highs:
In the first place, l can always get
exactly what ] want at the High
store, and the departments are so ar
ranged that l know just where to find
Il, with the least trouble and incon-
venience. know 1t is a dependable
article because the High name and
reputation are back of It; and, then,
the price Is as low as anywhere else

Display and Selling.

Other things must be displayed In
order. There are the show cases and
the counters, which likewise will hold
but small part of what Is to be sold.
Art in the extreme is required to pre-
sent the most striking and pleasing
effects, and in this the High store has
kept pace with the leadir~ depart
ment stores of the East. Window
dressers are kept busy utilizing the
small spaces The rest of the stock
must be kept in boxes and drawers
and on shelves.
But the concern does not depend
entirely on store display to sell goods.
1t calls in little agent that is really
far more effective-the newspaper ad :
vertisement, which heralds to thou
sands of readers what is on sale dur
ing the day or week, and what bar
gains may be picked up for a small
consideration.
One of the most important things

Variety Is Keynote.

The wide variety OF articles that
can be bought at Highs also serves
to attract a large number OF pur-
chasers. The line starts at pins and
1t really has no end. Now, to replen-
ish this supply and keep II fresh and
meeting the demands of the public at
all times is q job that the High man
ayers must see is carefully attended
to, Constant inventories and esti-
mates are necessary and the firm S
buyers are kept busy placing new or
ders with the great distributing con-
Germs OF the East.
How best to display goods is an
other problem which the High man
ayers have solved to the satisfaction
of the public and themselves. There
are the show windows, which will
hold only a small part OF the firms
stock The most attractive and val
liable articles must be placed there
and these articles must be of the very
latest fashion and design. Handsome
gowns-they get a. good deal OF the
window space-for what does a wom-
an shopper admire more than a pref

A HARD ROAD TO TRAVEL

Cyrus F. Thorp, of Winthrop, demo-
cratic candidate for sheriff, spent
Tuesday in Oroville circulating among
the people in the interest of his can
didacy. Mr.. Thorp is running against
a very strong opponent, and the
chances of his winning are slim, yet
the unexpected often happens at
elections. He may pull through. If
that miracle should happen to take
place the people of the county can
rest assured that a mighty good man
has superseded mighty good man in
the sheriff's office. Mr. Thorp is a
brother of Jack and Fred Thorp, the
latter late sheriff of this county, both
of whom are we'll and favorably known
in this part of the county, and that
relationship is not going to lose him
any votes. Mr.. Thorp has lived in the
Methow valley for nine years, but the
magnificent distances in OkanOgan
county are such that he has met his
brother Jack, who lives near Chesaw,
one hundred and twenty-five miles, or
more, as travel goes from Winthrop
only three times during that period.
This is mentioned to give those who do
not know anything about the county
an idea what great distances are be-
tween towns scattered over it's sur
face.

although Fred Layton, in charge of
the work, is short of poles. Copper

possible for Penticton people to talk
over the government line to the Amer
lean point as well IS to intermediate

J. w. Douglas has organized the
Golden King Mining company, and eX-

claims embraced in the property. The
Golden King is situated on the north
bank of the Similkameen, within
few hundred yards Of the railroad
He brought down chunk of ore from
the mine Saturday that is as fine look
ing mineral as anything that has evel

If there is any quantity of this ore

GOOD ADVICE

County Treasurer E. c. Quacken-
bush, in an interview in regard to in
itiative measure No. Z, says that he
does not consider that the law Great
ing the present bureau of inspection
and supervision of public offices
should be repealed for the following
reasons
The charges made by the bureau
against each county for conducting
their yearly examinations of the coun-
ty offices, school districts, incorporat-
ed towns road districts and irrigation
districts is only fair amount to pay
as insurance against attempted fraud
and incompetency of those in charge,
and while it is true that officers as a
rule ave under bond for the faithful
performance of their duty, yet who
would detect and expose any irregu-
| this bureau abolished?
Initiative measure No. Z, if voted for
November Sd, means that the work
done by this bureau will have to be
done by three clerks under the sup
ervision of the state auditor, which it
would be manifestly impossible for
them to accomplish if they would at
tain the end in view.
While believe the bureau has found
nothing of great importance against
| this county in any of their examina-
lions, | understand they have found
good many frauds being perpetrated
| in other counties, as we'll as unlaw-
full practices in vogue which they have
stopped, greatly to the benefit Of the
taxpayers of the counties in ques-
| ton.
While attending the convention of
county treasurers held at Walla Wal
la, Washington, last month | met the
| three members of the bureau, who
Clausen, the auditor of state composes
the bureau and have charge of the
examiners in the field. These men
entered largely into our discussions,
and by their advice and knowledge of
the subjects debated, contributed in a
great measure to the success of our
meeting, which l feel will prove to
have been of great benefit to all the
counties in the state.
l thoroughly believe in retrench-
ments in state and county expendi-
ers vote against this measure, they
will be taking step in the wrong
direction
