Jiummer work of this kind. 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. '
