N INNOVATION in merchandising has been origi-

'vertisements are grouped on this page have formed
an association with the purpose of educating the
public in the advantages of buying in "the value block of Mem

tween Union and Gayoso avenues. There are shoe stores, mems
clothing stores, ladies ready-tow wear and furnishing stores, mli-
merry stores, jewelry stores, etc. If they were al. under one roof
the combined stocks would make a giant department store where
nearly every want could be supplied. l.. 90,
These progressive merchants have determined that you shall get
better acquainted with their stores; that you shall come to real
ize that they offer more for your money than some of you ex-
pect to receive these days.
Prices in Value Block are as low as can be placed upon depend
able merchandise. The p%roprietors know it and their thousands
of customers know it, but they want everybody to know it.
Therefore, in order to encourage your visit special values are to
be chosen and Offered each Thursday.

Claire what her mother looked like

Claire would use her exquisite hand
