White Desert By Courtney Ryley Cooper Author of “The Cross Cut” Fate had given Barry Houston a harsh deal. Falsely accused of murder, a sacri- fice to the political ambitions of a district attorney, snubbed by his friends, dis- trusted by his father and then— He came to the White Desert to work out his salvation. In the snow and ice of the Continental Divide, on the backbone of the North American continent in Colo- rado, he began a lone battle against the unknown forces which were wrecking his lumber business. Allied against him were the frost- warped men of the timber lands and “the feminine Judas’—the woman he had promised to marry. The mounting cli- maxes of the battle against harsh men and even crueler winter are welded into a brilliant and gripping work of fiction. The charming and eccentric Ba’tiste Renaud and Medaine Robinette, the girl of the mountains, are characters which will re- main in your memory.

Take ‘Fahey-Brockman Guaranteed Clothes for instance. Clothing experts are amazed at F-B Prices. These finely-tailored clothes, they say, should never be sold at such low figures. Yet that’s precisely what the Fahey-Brockman Clothing Service was or- ganized for: To deliver fine wool fabrics tailored to fit, with style built into stay, at very modest prices. F-B Service Fahey-Brockman’s concep- tion of a high standard clothing service is entirely different. Our objective is to always deliver “Better Clothes for Less Money.” It has always been that. It will always be that. Under any and all circum- stances competent judges of clothing worth will tell you that Fahey- Brockman values are incomparable. They may be puzzled to know how we do it, but they candidly admit that we do it all the same. Yet, the Fahey-Brockman business is an open book. There are no secrets about it. A 60-day turn- over—great volume and a remark- ably low overhead—all combine to make our values incomparably su- perior to the next best in the Northwest.
