The toys arc trained to talk tbput the scholamhip they are earning, about the school they arc attending, etc., etc., instead of arguing the merit tif-the thing they wish to sell. It is a sympathetic ami lentimcntal appeal that they make in a majority of in stances, not a business appeal- and that's poor merchandis ing. To be sure, there arc probably no particular ill ef fects and the few dollars that they get from few score boijsewivcs will not break or make the community. Hut it's, not the liest thing in the world for the boys. Sofne day 'they will bo tlirough college. Some day they will be out on their own in the business world. Some day they will Jack a sentimental and sympathetic appeal in the sales contacts they seek to make. Then will come the realiza tion that the selling experience of college days wasn't very good selling experience, after all. They'll find that cold, .lard, business selling, when only the merit of the product counts, is a different matter. The awakening will be a bit had and it's unnecessary. There are plenty of jobs for college boys possibly not so easy nor so well paid that do not require capitalization of personal need, of sentiment ijnd sympathy, to make them successful.

Pays for Corn Stolen During Childhood Days The name of N, K. West & Co. has stood at the (op of the business firms of Eastern Oregon for over a quarter of a ccn turjr for nearly thirty years it has been known as La Grande's Leading Store. It has maintained an enviable record. Where did this leadership of a quarter century come from? Who has contributed to that leadership? What docs it mean lo the buying public of the La Grande territory? People who have traded at AVest's through all these years know what West's Leadership means to the buying public, but few of them have ever stopped to realize that they have con tributed most to it and that it is through heir appreciation of West's quality, service and ideals that this leadership has never failed. The leadership of such a store as this can come from only one source the satisfaction of customers. And knowing that customers can be satisfied permanently only by selling good merchandise at a fair price, that policy was established with the business and has been maintained for nearly thirty years. So it is that you never have any doubt about purchases you make at West's. It. pays now, as it has always paid, to buy Leadership a leadership that is a guarantee of style, of ma- tcrial, of service, of value. It is shown in the new accounts that arc constantly added and in the increased number of people who arc buying exclusively from West's when they desire dry goods, ready-to-wear, shoes, and clothing. Anticipating record-breaking business for Fall, we are providing new stocks of wide variety and lines that will assure you the ut most satisfaction. ' MrKrMf&CQInc.
