Then Iris for the first time in many
days, wept bitterly, and jerks, blind
to the true cause of her emotion,
picked up a rifle to which, in spare mo-
ments, he had affixed curious device,
and walked slowly across Prospect

That was what fearful Miss Iris
thought, or tried to persuade herself
to think. Perhaps her cogitatious
would not bear strict analysis. Per-
haps she harbored a sweet hope that
the future might yet contain bright
hours for herself and the man who
was so devoted to her. She refused
to believe that Robert Anstruther,
strong of arm and clear of brain, a
Knight of the Round Table in all that
was noble and chivalric, would permit
his name to bear an unwarrantable
stigma when-and she blushed like a

A Winning Service

Service is the al-important consideration at
Fahey-Brockman's That probably explains
why we dominate the mems and young mems
clothing business thruout this region. If it
isn't right we make it right. If we cannot
make it right, we give the customer new
garment or return his money. There's no
bubble. no argument about our guarantee.
Satisfaction, and that alone, seals sale at
Fahey-Brockman's
The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1925-05-01
A Money-Saving
Proposition

The remarkable showing of the
Fahey- Brockman clothing business in
Denver practically insures the saving of
thousands of dollars for the men of the
Northwest this year-because the big
Denver Link in the Fahey-Brockman
Chain adds to our already vast buying
power-whle it makes for material re-
duction in general overhead charges
Our new Denver store was plan
ned and built in response to great pop
ular demand. The men and young men
of Denver have duplicated the demand of
the men and young men of Seattle and
Portland. They insisted on the F-B Cloth
ing Service simply because many of them
knew that service was a money-saver for
them.
That's the significant thing about
the Fahey-Brockman Service: It's a
money-saving proposition. Our custom
ers know that there is no hocus-pocus
about this business-no fancy mark-ups-
no price juggling. And actual experience
proves F-B Clothes superior to clothes
selling at much higher prices.

Better Clothes
For Less Money

Yes Sir! We sell Better Clothes
for less money for the following reasons:
First we possess great buying power
Second. we turn our stock every 60 days
Third, we enjoy very low overhead:
These are the basic reasons why we are
able to out-sell any and all competition
the whole year round.
The Fahey-Brockman Denver
Store increases the values we give our
Seattle and Portland customers, just as
our Northwest stores increase the values
we give to our Denver customers. We
are proud of the fact that the public has
commissioned us to deliver Clothes of
Quality and Distinction for less money.
And we gladly showyou the Master Links
inthis Economic Service as we forge them.

No More

When you buy suit or Topcoat at
Fahey-Brockman's the garment will
cost you SIS, $50 or $35,-just as you
desire. That garment will be worth at
least $40 more than the price you'll be
asked to pay guaranteed in our advertising.
Moreover, the clothes you'll find Upstairs in any
Fahey-Brockrnan Store will be precisely the same
in every detail as the clothes you'll see in our
windows.

declared. Without 1t "all claim Of

Coolidge left no opportunity for
misinterpretation Of his position. His
statements were clear and concise.
In the very opening paragraph Of
his message he pointed to the need
for moderation. He asked that Con-
gress respect the rights Of the
States and permit them to retain
their own sources of revenue and
their own obligations.

dustry In order that employment
may be plentiful. They seek to
make business good in order that
wages may be good. They encourage
prosperity in order that poverty may
be banished from the home. They
seek to lay the foundation which,
through increased production, may
give the people a more bountiful
supply Of the necessaries OF life, af-

sculpture and painting, and the bene-
fetal enjoyment of outdoor sports
and recreation, enlarge the resources
which minister to charity and by all
these means attempting to strength

Pleads for Court
Pleading for adherence to the
world court, Coolidge declared:
ut is difficult to imagine anything
that would be more helpful to the
world than stability. tranquility and
international justice. We may say
that we are contributing to those
factors independently, but others
less fortunately located do not and
cannot make a like contribution ex-
cept through mutual cooperation.
The old balance Of power. mutual
alliances, and great military forces
were not brought about by any mu-
tual dislike for independence, but re-
suited from the domination of cir
cumstances. Ultimately they were
forced on us. Like all others en-
gagged in the war whatever we said
as a matter of fact we Joined an al
lance, we became a military power,
we impaired our independence. We
have more at stake than any one
else in avoiding a repetition Of that
calamity. Wars do not spring into
existence. They arise from small IN
cidents and trif1ing irritations which
can be adjusted by an international
court. We can contribute greatly to
the advancement Of our ideals by
joining with other nations in main
tanning such a tribunal"
Touching the coal tie-up he said:
Authority should be lodged with
the President and the Departments
Of Commerce and Labor, giving
them power to deal with an emer-
gency. They should be able to APP
point temporary boards with author
ity to call for witnesses and docu-
ments, conciliate differences, encour-
age arbitration and in case of
threatened scarcity, exercise control
over distribution"
