[s the FIRST principle with The Scandinavian American Bank. The methods that have been tested and proven through all the history of banking are carefully followed in your interest quite as much as our own.

And after that comes Progress—which in our dictionary means a constant increase in our usefulness to the individual and the community.

Suppose you are a young, struggling business man and have your account here. If you have capacity, and energy, and honesty, we soon get to know it. In such cases we are glad to extend to you a good banking credit and to recommend you for a good commercial credit. Thus aided, it will be nobody's fault but your own if you don't find your share of the room that is said to be SO plenty at the top.

Suppose yim have a Savings Account here, and when it has grown to import ant size, you'd like to SO invest it that it will earn a higher rate of interest and still he safe. We shall be glad to show you exactly what the hank puts its money iii, m and to help you to make selections from your own investments. "Hi, So through every phase of hanking. We have the resources and the dispo­ inn a si.~,mint sition to extend to each and every depositor the fullest cooperation of which a 0N SAVINGS strong, conservative hank is capable. We are always pleased to take adequate m || ll ll 'IphSfa care of th*' requirements of the individual and the corporation; the hanker and the hank; the merchant, manufacturer, shipper; the man with exchange to buy or items to collect.

Savings Accounts opened from $1.00 upwards.

YOU CAN DO IT BY MAIL—No matter where you live you can bank with us by mail. Even to write a letter is not necessary. The one important thing is to see that your name and address are enclosed with the deposit. Scandinavian American Bank

is the principal foundation of our modern business structure. On the confidence which its readers have in it, de­ pends largely the advertising value of any publication. Il is generally conceded that the Seattle Star enjoys the confidence of its readers to a much greater extent than any other Seattle daily paper. The Star has been making steady and consistent advertising gains over L912, the gain in October alone being more than twenty eight thousand lines over October, 1912. A recently carefully conducted house-to-house canvass in a number of widely divergent sections of the city showed that

'The SEATTLE STAR is taken regularly in 64 per cent of the homes and in 25 per cent of the homes no other Seattle paper at all is taken

This shows conclusively that the advertiser who wishes to cover this Held in anything like a thorough manner MUST USE THE STAR. There's food for thought here, Mr. Advertiser. The SEATTLE STAR occupies its own, modern, fireproof, concrete building at 1307-1309 Seventh Avenue - Phone Main 9400

The Metropolitan Building Company owns and operates a number of buildings. Among these buildings we have three first-clasv offce buildings in which we render the highest grade of office building service. We have been operating office buildings in this city for six years, in which time we have built up a Large clientele of satisfied tenants. Metropolitan service has be­ come the standard for office building service in this section of the country. Persons desiring to establish offices in this city should make inquiry of us. In addition to our office building space we have a large amount of store, loft and light manufacturing space. We rent to desirable tenants on an extremely reasonable basis. All of our buildings are centrally located. They are in the heart of the dis­ trict in Seattle that is growing more rapidly than any other portion of the business district. Tenants desiring space for other than office purposes are well taken care of in our business buildings. To put the matter in another way, before renting space of any kind or character in the center of the city it would be to your advantage to ascertain what space the Metropolitan Building Company can furnish yon. In addition to the seventeen acres of floor space that we have already prepared for use on the University Tract, we have live acres of unimproved ground upon which we will build new buildings for desirable tenants.

The Panama-Pacific International Exposition of 1915 By WALTER ANTHONY

OMEWHAT after the Christmas season of S 1914-15 the United States will make the most stupendous _; i t' t to the na­ tions of the world that has ever been proffered out of man's ingenuity and energy. That is to say, February 20, 1915, is the dale set lor the opening of the Panama- Pacific Int.-rnaiional Exposi­ tion in San Francisco when witl, extravagant hut friend­ ly formality ihe completion of the canal will he cele­ brated, and its uses in the progress of the world will he dedicated to Ihe nations thereof. In all history no such event has ev.r been solemn- lied, and like Portia's dis- seita tion to Shylock on the qualities of charity, the giv­ ers Of the Canal and Ihe Exposition which celebrates it, will he blessed as Well as the nations that receive. Already the great North­ west has felt the benefits accruing even so early from tile Exposition in San Fran­ cisco. The magnificent ex­ hibit palaces which are rising like magic on the 825 acres which constitute the Exposition reservation. are mainly from I ho pine forests of ihe greal North­ west, and millions of feet are yet to come from the lumber camps of th.e Slate of Washington. Traffic experts in the of­ fices of the great trans­ continental railroad and trans-oceanic offices estimate that fully ninety per cent of the visitors to llle Exposi­ tion will scatter up and down the western edge of the United Slates after or before their Journey to San Francisco, to vi.-w the won­ ders of the Pacific ('oast, in transit, or perhaps to Hnd themselves permanent hotn.'S in the West. The extent to which this tourist travel will benefit Seal lie and the Northwest which n com­ mands, ma.v he estimated ap­ proximately. Thj' railroads are agreeing upon a round trip routing from eastern and middle western points which will permit tlie ticket holder lo go and come by different lines. It is unlikely that many will come from either Great Britain and Europe, I he middle west, Ihe east, Or who will not make one vva.v through the Northwest.
