PROMOTIVE ADVERTISING
By Charles V Stanton
Opponents of the initiative measure, appearing on the
forthcoming election ballot, banning the nale of pro
mntively mlverti.wl alcoholic beverages aie claiming it i
a "prohibition bi't." They contend that the brand label,
demanded by fediral law, would make the licpior unsab
able, as the label, jrivinir the brand name, the alcoholic
content, etc., could be construed as promotive advertising.
Perhaps the const nut ion placed on the bill by its
ooponents is cot-ret However, we are inclined to the
belief that the internrrtation is rather drastir and probably
would not be sttpporttrt if brought into court.
It is our opinion, formed from a study of the measure,

would be sorr.cthinjr different.
Advert'sins is the public's primary protection. Widelv
advertised merchandise must be of (ffod quality or it
cannot lonjf be widelv advertised. False and misleading
advertising claims fail to fool the public for anv consid
erable length of time. Consequently, continuous, lone-time
advertisin? of an..' particular product, liquor included,
means public acceptance of quality claims.
Market For Bathtub Gin
One of the first results to be anticipated from the
promotive advtrti.-i.nr bill, if passed, would be to flood the
market with various brands of "mountain dew" and
"bathtub Kin."
All standard brands of liquor would be forced off the
shelves. Kventiial!. the distillers would (ret around to
labels very similar to th"ir advertised products: just
enough change to keep within the law, but still sufficient
to identify the brand Several months probably would be
required to get this system in operation, and, in the mean
time, liquor stores would sell grab bag liquor. I he new wan on thai nice white house about Drain . . ." We were in

County Sues To
Obtain Property
For Access Road
Douglas county has tiled a suit
m circuit court against James A.
Fuller, Nora N. f uller and Mary
Lou Fuller to force relinquishment
of property held by them, in order
that the county can construct an
access road across it.
Arcording to the complaint, the
county needs the inpeity, located
west of Canyonvilie, tor an access
road to a garbage disposal sue lor
the communities in southern Doug
las county. The defendants have
allegedly failed to agree on a avit
aoie compensation, so the county
asks that the assessment be made
by a jury to determine the com
pensation for title to the property.!
A. F. Suksdorf and Anna M.
Suksdorf have filed suit in circuit'
court against F.djar James RoMti
ette for S1.1UO. This amount alleg
edly remains to. be paid on pro
perly sold to the defendant. The
plaintiff asks the court to bar the
defendant Irom the property in
the event the money is not paid.
The Pacific Km plovers Insurance
Co. have also filed suit for recovery
of I 2,S from Jackie J. l undilf
and W. W. Klifritz. The plaintiff
company contends that it held an
auto insurance policy for Joe L.
Brant covering loss or damage
over $100 to a Diamond T truck
The truck was damaged Aug. 24,
1949. when the defendants' loaded
logging truck allegedly sideswiped
Brant's truck. The insured truck
was reportedly damaged to t h e
extent of Sl.UMS.2S, of which the
plaintiff company paid $946.25.

In competitive chain stores across
the nation. Retail mark-downs on
beef ranged from two to six cents
a pound, and there were scattered
cuts of one to four cents a pound
on some lamb and poultry items
The meat reductions marked the
beginning of the seasonal down
trend. Kggs also were slightly lower

department reported that egg pro

Gain In Deposits
The deposit figure reported by
the t'nited States National bank
of Portland in response to a call
issued by the comptroller of the
currency of Oct. 4. was the third
largest ever recorded in the h'story
of Oregon's major hanking institu
tion. I nited Stales National continued
to lead in state-wide deposits with
S.'i71.08O.S92. a gain of $4" .224.104
since the June .10. 19.S0, call. This
figure has been exreeded only by
two calls which came during the
height of war and post war
activity.
According to H. F. Schmeer.
manager, deposits for the Kose

Loans and discounts for the
