Not The Vogues, Surely.

Ail that in six months. Not bad for four kids with shortish hair and clear eyes.

The Vogues, they've been around. In the past six months, they've made four hits: Turn Around and Til and My Special Angel and now Woman Helping Man. And since you haven't noticed it, the latter's #49 on this week's chart. Notice that please. It, like the rest of their music, produced by Dick Glasser, a true gentleman. Their album, too, contains this single. And the single before that. We mention that only because we know how you like hard sell.

Reprise is in The Vogues business. Happily, you're buying.

PORTLAND, OREGON - Barely a week before this city became literally buried in snow, the Northwest Sales Company held a gala grand opening of its new, modern facility at 5440 S.E. 26th Avenue here in the city of Port- land. Over 1000 guests participated in a tour of the building, admired the newest innovations in facilities and shared in the door prizes and enter- tainment. By way of history, the Northwest Sales Company had its birth in Seattle, Washington, in 1936 when Ron W.

The new one-story building is con- structed of steel with poured concrete walls. Exterior pilasters painted a rich brown divide the facade into five square sections.
