t AGE FOCB DAILi CAPITAL JOrP.VAL, AL. E. HURST RETURNS TO FIRST LOVE COMES BACK TO SALEM AFTER FIVE TEAKS IX THE EAST AXD ITIKHASES HALF INTEHESTIV THE ALWAYS FOI'lLAK TO(i. GEBV. They will come back! The last one to arrive Is Al E. Hurst, a for mer Salem boy. He la returning to his home city and has purchased a half Interest In the Toggery from 1). R. YanilH. Mr. Hurst Is. well known to all old Salem people. For many years he was with the T. Hulverson firm an general advertiser, and later held a similar position with Jos. Meyers & Sons. For the last five years Al has been connected with the Drygoodsman and the Shoe and leather Gazette, of St. I.ouls, Mo. These trade papers are members of the Root Newspaper assot intlon, the largest corporation in the l'nlted Stales publishing trades publications. The company publishes such well known trades papers as the "dry goodsman" of New York, "Drygoods Reporter" of Chicago, 'Tloot and Shoe Recorder" of Iloston, "The Milliner" of Chicago, "The Pacific Coast Merchant" of San Francisco, and others. Mr Hurst acted In the. capacity of manager of the store equipment sec tion of the Drygoodsman. His work consisted of editorial and advertis ing, window trimmings, store plans and arrangements, showcard writing and similar topics. Many of the ar ticles which ho got up are syndicated to various papers In Canada and the United Suites. Along with his other work he has been the author of five books on window trimming and one on card writing entitled, "Fifty Prac tical Lessons In Card Writing." The last mentioned book Is now used as a text book In many Eastern schools and Y. M. C. A. clnsses. Mr. Hurst will continue his editorial work for the Root Newspaper association from Salem. Al says he Is a great believer In newspnper space for accomplishing effective publicity for the retail store, and has In view a well planned campaign of this character which will bo launched as soon as final ar rangements can be completed. In peaking of newspaper space, Mr Hurst stated that In his opinion every mercantile establishment can better conditions by an Intelligent newspaper campaign, and contract to use space In accordance with the amount of business done, using larg er space as the business Justifies. This is the policy employed by prac tically all of the national advertisers. There Is no question but that the prosperous appearance of live news papers Is a credit to any city, ami one of the best means of exploiting Its resources to prospective and de sirable citizens, in fact, one means that a visitor has of Judging a cllv's growth and prosperity, Is the appear ance of Its newspapers, and In order to bring about the desired effect, It requires the co-operation of every business house In an advertising way, who In return will receive lull value' provided the advertising Is given as much attention as other business de tails. Another hobby of Mr. Hurst's Is the dressing of show windows, and the general appearance of store fronts. There Is no doubt but that a store Is Judged by the appearance of the front. In fact the entire street Is characterized by the show windows thereon. If these displays are of a pleasing, artistic and Instructive na ture, the popularity of the street will bo eleurly evidenced by the people making It their leading thorough fare. It Is a fact that a great deal of the traffic of an entire street can be turned In this way and whenever these efforts are Joined In by all mer chants, It will help the character and tone of the entire city. Plans are now In tiic hands of the architect for the complete remodel ing of the Toggery, both the exterior and Interior. Many modern and orig inal Ideas which have come to Mr. Hurst's attention while studvlng store equipment problems In ' the East, will be Installed, making one of the most modernly arranged stores In the North west. lu speaking of advertising, Mr. Hurst said that Oregon, and espec ially Salem, had received much good through the Hoard of Trade, and many Eastern people from the sec tion where he was located were talk ing of Oregon as a direct result of this work- Personally, he said: "I have been Instrumental In bringing 10 people to the West In the last six months. Some of them located at Salem." There Is no question but that Oregon and especially tho Wil lamette Valley has a great future. I'pon leaving the Root Newspaper AsH:lntUin, Mr. Hurst was given a banquet at the American Hotel at St. Ixmls last Friday night by his busi ness associates at which time he was presented with a signet ring en graved with the characters of the association with which he had been connected for the last five years. Some persons always act as If they were engaged lu conserving their common sense. o Don't wait for some one to give you a chance.
