1. IV " J llilll TTTCw'r
We do not handle just a little of one or two lines of Union
Made Clothing, so that we can say we have it, but with the ex-
ception of a little less than eight per cent, our suits are all
Union-Made. We stand strong for union principles and
make it a point to. handle union-made goods as far as possible.
While the Union Label is a very important part of a suit
of clothes, there is still another label that belongs with it
-
THE BROWNSVILLE LABEL
The first insures good workmanship, clothing made under good
sanitary conditions and in well-lighted shops; the latter insutes
good pure Oregon Wool. What better combination for a
strictly first-class suit can you ask for than this?
Biat still there is another matter of importance that must not be
overlooked J5hQ Price. You want an all-wool suit, you want
it union-made, but you don't want to pay two prices for it. That
is not the BROWNSVILLE WAY. ,
BEING "MILL-TO-MAN CLOTHIERS"
We save you two profits the manufacturer's and the jobbers
which means a saving to you of from 25 to 50 per cent.

"You nave to pass through a rather
tough quarter of the town before you
tench your home," he aald quietly. "I
am aorry to have to force my company
on you. but I lutebd to ace you safely

Edna thrilled at the quiet authority
of the tone. She had been rather dis
appointed at the quiet way In which
be bad taken her raillery. This waa
more like tho old Jack, and because it
roked old memories It made ber re

because you were a failure out west?"
abe aald sharply. "Father aald when
you went that you would never make

"On the contrary, I have been re
markably successful," be aald quietly.

ahe glanced at bla well worn clothes.
"I am wearing an old suit for a rea

Shall I tell you why I came home?"
"I auppose I cannot help myself,"
he mocked.
"Because I read tbe message of
spring," be aald; "because the dusty
cactus spoke of. the pink arbutua and
made me think of you; because I hoped
that the season might bring memories
to you and make you, more kind.
"I went out to the wooda the day I
arrived and to the place where we
plighted our troth, I was hoping, per
bapa, you might come. It was the an
niversary. I waa there again yester
day and today. I am wearing an old
suit because It Is the suit I wore then."
"I remember It," ahe cried peultent
