"ROSEBURG. OREGON,
PROGRESSIVE SET OF GROCERS
On Friday of every week there goes out a message
through the advertising coiumns of The News-Review to
the housewives of Roseburg and Douglas county that keeps
them in touch with market conditions.'enabling them to buy
economically aud with no loss of time. This message, or
more correctly speaking, these messages are from the groc
ers of the city, and in this way these retailers keep in close

are expecumiiy hwiiiiuu iinu
housewives in every part of the great Unipu.ua valley. No
only do the housewives read these pulsating messages o
tlirifl.aiid economy ,.1jut many of the men folks post up on
prices before they get into the car to drive into Roseburg
Saturday mornings. This posting up on food stuffs helps
the buying public immensely. It not only gives them an in
telligent knowledge of .what prices are, but readers learn
just where certain articles can bo had, and this fact saves
a stupenduous amount of time to busy people. Because ui
this knowledge buyers go straight to the place advertising
the particular commodity they want, or that appeals to them.
In almost every instance they not only buy something that
has been advertised, but they get an inspiration of c.her
needs while in the store and additional purchases are made.
Therefore time and money are savd. Automobiles with
human freight travel milrjs in a few moments, every body
' is in n hurry these days, so that business men have come to
understand that they must live up to the ideals of a ngblic
that does things 'in the shortest possible time. All of these
factors have brought about $ie Siissessity of merarsfis keep
ing in touch With the public Ihr'oiiglP th columns of their
city paper, and for this reason advertising has become a
twentieth century necessity. '"'The advertising also is looked
upon as an invitation from the merchant to the buyer
It really become a personal matter between the retailer afel
it its hosts of friends nd patrons.
. Roseburg grocers ai progress e, amiable folk, and
tlv'eir weekly messages of prices and foods are the means
of; establishing confidence, building up a bigger community
and materially aidinjin greater prosperity.

Optimistic business forecasts for this your are being
heard on every side. With them comics a lesfwolcomo re
velation that the employment situation is far from' good.
Figures vary widely, but it is apparent th.O unemployment
today is practically where it was in the summer of lO'id ,
However, most students admit that this is not souuch due
to busincw. recession as to the continued increase in ti use
of labor-saving machinery. Factory gauges are high am
production is picking up;,oijv, in many cares, factories are
producing more goods with fejvor hien t(4;anorrrverly. 'rSJis
may work hidship for the morfitiit, but it is no cause for
alarm. Tt is a situation that will adjust itself. Our busi
ness leaders have to give the matter earnest abolition.
Hess leaders will have to givo the matter earnest nltoiilinn,
of course; but they have tho brais to find a satisfaclO-y
solution. '

To explain the meeting. complete
ly it fa necessary to give somt
thinK of the history of this board
It came into being along with
similar regional boards several
years ago during the almost dis
astrous car shortages in many
parts of the country. The regional
boards have kept the railway oper
ating departments In constant con
tact with the shippers with this re
sult sijh an improved 'outing
and use of rolling stock tbut to
day a much greater" volume of
freight is heing moved without de
lay or congestion- by pmctically
the same equipment. Tlie regional
boards are a powerful instrument
in checking increased transporta
tion costs.
Quite unexpectely the regional
boards have served another import
ant purpose. Their surveys on
which they regulate car place
ments 1ave been found to be one
of the most accurate Indices to
huslness conditions throughout
the country, and they aro being us
ed widely to keep business pro
duction out of the realm of specu
lation and guesswork.
The reason for the meeting at
Roseburg is to give tho fanner
shippers of Oregon and their or
gan iznt Ions n chance togot the
(imo benefits from the direct con
tact with the railway operating
men that the other industrial ship
pers have been enjoying In Ihe
norlhwest. It signifies Hint Ore
gon s agricultural shipping ha.i
reached the point, where the hand
ling of it cannot bo left to a rough
guefis.
