Here the farmer came to exchange his produce for groceries and drygoods. The town folK gathered from the few hlocKs around, forming the little settlement, to trade and discuss matters of common interest. Here was born a spirit which has ever permeated this great busi ness. It is this spirit that has made this store your store; it is this spirit that made this store your father's store and your grandfather's store. This spirit of confidence, square dealing', linKed with the sagacious policy of its founders, has built a great institution, quasi-public in its functions. Merchandise of quality only, with prices as low as consistent with safe merchandising, and this spirit ever present, has caused this store to forge ahead and taKe its place as the foremost mercantile institn- tion in the West. It has ever been the merchandising' policy of this institution to give its department managers sufficient freedom so that we had what the pub- lie demanded when they demanded it The tendency was not to inquire, "Have you bon ght too much?" but "Have yon bought enough?" This pol icy has resulted in the popular expression; "If you can't find it at Meier Q FranK's you can't find it in Portland." Then, too, our SERVICE.
