Visit the Bon Marché


Scientists who study cities say, "Good Stores indicate Good Cities." We like to say that "Good Cities make Good Stores" ... and justify the reputation of The Bon Marche on that basis. Seattle IS a good city and deserves as fine a store as can be found anywhere. The Crystal Tea Room . . . The Fashion Center . .. The Sweeping Acres of The Bon Marche are not a bit too good for Seattle, nor are we so self-satisfied as to believe it still wholly good enough, even though it compares favorably with great stores in greater cities. It is, perhaps, that constant effort to im- prove that makes it outstanding . . . makes it worth a visit .. . gives us confidence to invite you in to enjoy it.

The Romance of MacDougall's


Mac000


-Reflects the History of Seattle!


E STABLISHED in 1874 by Toklas and Singerman, early pioneers, MacDougall's was called the "San Francisco Store." It was located on Washington Street between Occidental Avenue and Com- mercial Street.


As the village of Seattle grew and prospered, so did Mac- Dougall's. MacDougall's was headquarters for supplies and clothing for the Alaskan "gold rush" it was known throughout the great North- west territory for its depend- ability, for the quality of its merchandise. MacDougall's grew in size, added more de- partments-and its progress has marked the progress of Seattle . . . until now Mac- Dougall's has become a great department store, famous throughout the Northwest.

GAS


FOR G enuine Comfort


Install COMPLETE GAS SERVICE


YOU'LL discover the comfort of hotel service . . . at home, when you install complete gas service. It's eco- nomical, too. Costs so little that every home can now enjoy it. When you build, remodel or modernize your home, make the kitchen truly modern with a new, auto- matic GAS range, a silent Electrolux GAS refrigerator. Install an automatic storage GAS water heater for 24- hour hot-water service. Put in automatic GAS heat-to keep your home cozy, clean and comfortable without work or worry. For further information call Seattle Gas Company, 1511 Fourth Avenue, MAin 6767. Ask us to show you how little it takes to install complete gas service in your home.


There's Nothing Like GAS for Cooking Water Heating - House Heating ~ Refrigeration
