An OPEN LETTER to Local Merchants and to Our Readers . . . October 21, 1941 TO YOU WHO ADVERTISE: For many years yon have used the columns ot' the * Oregon Daily Emerald to talk to the Oregon Webfoots who read this newspaper. Each day, side by side with the news stories, you ' messages in the form of advertisements, have been ac cepted and expected by our readers as the news of what, where, and how they can buy the things they want and need. Not always have our readers wanted or needed the things you have offered, WHEN you offered them, but as you have continued to ASK them, to URGE them, to APPEAL to them to buy from you, our readers have learned to depend upon you for their daily requirements. Now, you say: “We’re oversold! Why keep on ad vertising?” In answering your question, let me speak—not for ti c Emerald, but FOR the readers of this newspaper. Now, we realize that now and then you will be oversold, We know that there will be times when you cannot supply some things we want. We expect some prices will go up, and that it may be necessary for us to go without some things in these days of national emergency. But, we want to know: (1) Why, and When, and How Long we cannot get the things we want; (2) What we cue get to take the place of things to which we are accu'• tomed ; (3) Where, and When we can expect to find on requirements at prices we can pay. Are you going to keep us informed with your advertis ing, or are you—because you are sold out for the time being—going to forget us and our problems? ■* Now7, more than ever before, we need your merchandi- * news. We now ASK you to let us know what is happening I with even more frequent and informative advertising. More than 4000 Oregon Webfoots and faculty read ti c Oregon Daily Emerald each morning that the Emerald is published. Readers of the EMERALD, ► By Fred 0.
