O.K. Lewis About forty years ago we came to Chehalis on the advice of one of our friends in Seattle These are the exact words he told us: "GO TO CHEHALIS-- it is a good little town for a temporary tion; when we find an opening in Seattle, we will advise you." Well, this was nearly fortv vears aim and we are still here. There have been many changes during that time in Chehalis, in the state, in the United States and the whole world and there are a few things that have not changed at all and thev are OTTT STANDING. One of these is that the Christmas Season is" the GIFT BUYING SEASON and the Burnett Jewelry Store is the GIFT STORE In the forty years we have been in Chehalis we have learned that the people of Lewis County are more particular when buying things to give away than when buying for themselves. QUALITY is the principal requirement-- and, by the way, THIS IS SOMETHING ELSE that has not changed in the last forty and that is the STANDARD of MERCHANDISE we have.

It was this foundation that we built our business on forty years ago. QUALITY MERCHANDISE We started then and are still selling merchandise that we know will make SATISFIED customers-and the fact that this ad is written by the same hand that wrote the announcement forty years sufficient evidence that the people of Chehalis approved our business principles and policies THIS IS OUR MESSAGE TO THE PEOPLE OF CHEHALIS AND LEWIS COUNTY: Do not wait for the last few days with your Holiday Shopping.

Salkum Quilt Leads To Chain Of Incidents Salkum, Nov. of'this community who made and gave away a friendship quilt last February, will be interested to learn of the chain of events following the winning of this quilt by the community's most eligible bachelor, Wm. DeGross. At that time someon'e made a prediction that that small beginning might result in the erection of a new home to house this quilt. This week saw the foundation of this home being laid by John DeGross, a brother, who has been employed at the Coulee dam as a cement worker.

We understand that the new home is to be smaller and more compact than the older one, and will be nearer the highway. The older house will be used to house the truck, car and caterpillar tractor and other farm machinery. A poll the ladies of the community has failed to bring to light the favored one, who possibly was consulted about the plans for the new home. eighty-second birthday.

Sween, poultryman living near Bothell, has found that laying hens are much healthier, and consequently do a better job of laying eggs, with the right system of air conditioning than by the regular hit and miss methods generally used in ventilating poultry houses. Mr. Sween has been keeping his laying hens in individual cages for many years, and with this arrangement, fully twice as many birds are kept in the laying- room as when they are turned loose on the floor. This system was worked out'by the agricultural engineers of the Pugret and Light Company, County Assessor C. R.
