Good Looking Luggage.
a ND now just a word, daughters,
4 \ about your school luggage! Do
you possess suitable trunk in which
to carry all of those good-looking
togs you have been assembling for
the school season! If you want
fine, roomy trunk--one that is
strongly built, and which you will be
proud to have your name, or initials
placed upon, I'd certainly advise you
to get it at the very best luggage
shop in town--Freling & Steinle's,
1908 Farnam. They have school
trunks for $17 to $25-really, splcn-
didly constructed They are also the
people who carry the Hartmann Cush-
ion Top Trunk, which has the finest
appointments of any wardrobe trunk
made. These are priced $50, $3.50,
$42.50 and $47.s0. I'd be happy to se-
lect a trunk for any of my girl friends
who live out of town.
