NONE BETTER THAN
LYNDEN'S GOODS
Stores Will Demonstrate Excellence
OF Home Merchandise In Special
Displays Next Week

That the men and women of Chic
ago. New York and other large cities
enjoy no particular advantages over
the people of Lynden when it comes
to buying standard. first class mer-
chandise is a fact that anyone will
be able to prove to his own satisfact-
ion this coming week. All you need
to do is to look at the displays of
merchandise the progressive stores of
Lynden will have in their show wind
ows.
People living in the smaller cities
once believed that they could buy
more up-to-date wares, and buy them
cheaper of the city dealers than they
could from their own home stores.
1t is doubtful IL that ever was a fact;
one thing however, is certain. that 1t
is not true at the present time. II
you will compare the merchandise
that you will see in the windows dur
ing "Trade-marked-goods week" with
what you see in the windows the next
time you are in Seattle. you will find
that it is exactly the same, and that
in many cases the prices are lower in
Lynden, because of the great advant-
age the merchant at home has in the
way of smaller rents and other exp
ense. Standardized, advertised. quail
ity products are sold the world over.
Isn't ii a fact that every alleged
unusual bargain that is offered you
is an unknown and unbranded prod
uct? 1t is one that the manufactur-
er doesn't think enough of to stand
behind. He does not want the buyer
which buys these products from hous-
es in foreign cities not only secures
an inferior product, but in 80 cases
out of each one hundred pays more
for it than it is actually worth-more
than the same quality product would
cost right here in Lynden.
A good way to test the truthfulness
of this is to compare the prices on
standard products-products that are
known-products that the manufact-
urer puts his name on, and uncondit-
ionally guarantees. Get the local
piicC NOinpdiC II win
any other dealers, taking into con-
sideration always the cost of money
orders, postage. freight, and all the
other expenses incurred. You will
find in every instance that you can
save money, get better service and
better quality by buying advertised
products right at home.
Standardized, advertised products
of every kind will be on display next
week. Look them over and compare
values. Then sign up coupon, and
give it to some boy or girl to turn in.
Help the town win in the state con-
test by seeing that the best window
displays are entered.
Full details OF the coupon voting
plan that will mean cash rewards for
every boy or girl who takes part are
given in this issue of the Tribune.

ENGINEER CONDEMNS
A LYNDEN BRIDGE
Structure Over Fishtrap Creek Pro-
nounced Unsafe By Lindbery And
Public Warned

County Engineer Charles Lindbery
this week condemned the Lynden
bridge on the road leading into town
from the Guide Meridian. and cros-
sing Fishtrap Creek between the cem-
etry and the fair grounds.
The county engineer has order
ed the bridge posted to warn heav-
lily laden wagons and autos OF the
dangerous condition OF the structure.
The commissioners were notified
by Mr.. Lindbery of the action he had
taken, but whether they will move at
once to rebuild the bridge is not
known.
THE bridge is in such dangerous
shape that something should be done
at once" said Mr.. Lindbery today. 1
inspected the bridge. and found the
caps so loose that they could be prae-
tically kicked out with the foot The
bridge has been standing sixteen
years, or thereabouts, without any
attention. except the renewal of the
decking. and the understructure Is
rotted out. The bridge should be re-
placed at once so as to be ready for
the heavy summer traffic"
Mr.. Lindbery estimates that it will
cost about three thousand dollars
to replace the bridge.
A petition to lie commissioners
for prompt replacement Of the bridge
is now being circulated. Copies may
be signed at the Lynden State Bank
and the Tribune office and the City
Drug Store.
