To that end Magistrate Appleton has
subpnnaed Allen T. Haight, head of the

pays his taxes through a land concern
which takes out a percentage. After
meeting all the expenses, the prize
winner is said frequently to discover
that the land is not as represented.

Fifty Years in Business


This year We complete q half century of bus
mess lfe--fifty years Of active service to retail
merchants Of the great west. -
Their stores are found in cities and villages in
all the vast territory between the Mississippi river
and the Pacific coast-even in far-of Alaska and
fair Hawaii.
Fifty years in business means much. We have
the Indian trading post give way to the metro
politan city-the pony express rider displaced by
the transcontnental train.
We have grown only as we have served A
slight feeling Of pride may be pardoned, we feel,
as we round into our second half century of COM
mercial activity. -
So we feel much joy in our Fiftieth Anniversary,
and we invite our retail friends to join with us,
during Market Week, and particularly Wednes-
day, September II, to attend Birthday Party
A Birthday Party at Unusual Interest
Some of us have lived to see the changes which
fifty years have wrought. Others, of not such ma
ture years, know Of the contrast between the days
following the Civil War and today only as history
So we think that to lift the veil that has closed
behind the last few decades, even for only an hour
two, will be interesting-even instructive.
The smartly clad maiden of today presents as
great contrast to the lady of the hoopskirts as
the Mazda lamp does to the tallow candle
We shall attempt to portray some Of these
changes at our birthday party" on September II,
