reasonable price-at a price within
the reach Of the man and his family

they bend every effort to achieve and
maintain this standard in their

two trips to the great manufacturing
and wholesale centers of the east. He
generally stops at Chicago, st. Louis
and Kansas City on the trip east or
as he returns. In the great whole
sale centers of New York, Boston and
other eastern cities he buys most Of
his merchandise.
In buying personally in Boston, New
York, Chicago and other large cities,
Stolaroff explains that he can get
much better goods at lower prices.
This desirable combination enables
The Fair Store to place on the Doug
las market goods Of fine quality at a
price within the reach of all.

Store is that it supplies many small
merchants in Nacozari, Pilares and
Ell Tigre with their goods at whole

and adherence to the store motto:
Where Price Meets Quality" recently
caused Frank Stolaroff, proprietor of
The Fair Store, Eighth street and G.
avenue, assisted by his brother, Myer
Stolaroff, to almost double the floor
space of their place of business.
They enlarged their store by taking
half of the building formerly occu-

newly acquired space doubled the
street frontage of the store and gave

"Meet me at McWhorter's," is an
expression heard on every side in
Douglas, for McWhorter's confection-
cry store, 1909 G. avenue, is the most
popular gathering place in Douglas
with young and old.
Byron McWhorter established a fac
tory for the manufacture of ice cream
and candy in Bisbee Is years ago.
Seven years ago a retail confectionery
store and music department featuring
the Victor talking machine was add
ed. He retired several years ago and
the business was taken over by his
son, Austin McWhorter.
NTcWhorter started a wholesale ice
cream business in Douglas in May,
1925, under the M n a m n OF
George Young. In August of the
same year a retail store was pur-
chased on Tenth street.
The retail store proved such a popu-
lar venture that on the first of April,
1926, McWhorter's moved into the
present larger location of the store
at 1909 G avenue.
At McWhorter's you find fountain
service, luncheonette service, candy,
Brunswick monographs and records,
radios, wholesale and retail ice cream.
After a visit to the confectionery
the things that you will undoubtedly
take note of in your mind are the
cleanliness, service, courtesy, refined
atmosphere, neat appearance and per-
sonalfty of the girls employed, fix
lures, convenient location, GOODNESS
and the high quality of the food.
McWhorter's is a popular place for
the giving of society luncheons and
teas, Douglas matrons having found

against which there can be no argu-
ment.
The human race is inStinctiVely re-
ligious. Since the dawn of time man
has worshiped God Some have bowed
to the sun, some to craven images,
some to trees, rocks, flowers, the
oceans or the stars, but the urge to
recognize some power over all other
powers is universal and at this stage
of the worlds development, in this
hemisphere, people worship God
through the medium of the Christian
religion
Douglas can we'll be called the city
of beautiful churches. Wherever one
goes throughout the city he is con-
fronted with q church or with some
evidence of the power Of the church.
The greatest influence in the city is
it's churches. One of the most beau
tiful sections of the city is Church
Square, situated but two blocks from
the heart of the business district, an
entire city block set with churches on
every corner. a.
This is something unique in church
settings. In many cities the churches
are built as far apart as possible. One
almost never finds them all grouped
on one plot of ground. This makes
for unity and cooperation, This
grouping of Douglas churches has
been a great influence against mar
row mindedness in religion and in
other things. People have found that
each church sings the same kind OF
hymns. their pastors preach the same
sort of religion, the people who at
tend the different ones are the same
sort of people, and it has done much
to make this city friendly city with
out sectional quarrels or religious
disputes.
The schools cooperate with the
civic organizations and the churches.
The churches cooperate with every
thing that they can conSclentlously
support. The community works to-
gether in everything and on this
system is laid the foundation for the
prosperity that is coming.

Young in the store is never to use
substitutes in the kitchen, at the
fountain or in the manufacture Of
ice cream. No substitutes for milk,
eggs, cream, ETC., are permitted.
The kitchen is in the rear Of the
building, connecting with the confec-
tionery proper by swinging doors. All
the care and attention given to pri-
vate homes is given to the confec-
tionery kitchen by those employed
there.
The general color scheme carried
out in the store is one Of light blue,
with the high ceiling being done in
white The floor is covered in blue
and white linoleum. The color scheme
is so completely carried out that the
girls in the store are dressed in neat
blue and white uniforms.
The Brunswick phonograph depart
ment in the rear of the store is a
drawing place, young and old coming
to McWhorter's to hear and buy the
latest in jazz selections or classical
music as produced by the accom-
plished Brunswick artists.
The store recently added improve
mentS to the machinery and stock at
cost of more than $4,000 in order
to continue giving the public the best
in the confectionery line.
McWhorter's pursues policy of
striving to give the public just what
it wants at all times, Sparing neither
time nor expense to do so. The con-
fectionery is typically not a young
peoples store, neither is it an old
peoples store, for young and old are
drawn to McWhorter's and all leave

In purchasing a Chevrolet the
buyer is protected by the per cent
certificate method of buying. If a
purchaser pays so much down on a
car the amount is deposited in a
local bank to his credit drawing
per, cent interest.
This money cannot be used by the
Chevrolet agency unless the certifi-
cate issued to the purchaser when
the purchase is made is signed over
to the company by him. In this way
