MEDFORD DAILY TRIBUNELMEDFOBP; OREGON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1908.
AN ENTERPRISING; STORE
A&How
Has Bmo a Benefit to
Medford.
Its Ineeptton.
One year ago last June two young
men- arrived in Medford looking for
a location for a ladies' furnishing good
tore. They were iu Medford just two
day, when they decided to locate here
nnd'nod arranged for a room in u new
buiidiug which was to be erected during
iud summer.
The Opening.
watrlield one year ago the first of last
October; commencing at 2 p." m. in the
afternoon in the room next to the post
office. This was an unusual time to
opeu a store, but these men were differ
ent, and have been doing. things differ
ently ever since that time.
Tuo Merchandise,
consisted principally of ladies' ready-to-wear
goods, furnishings and notions,
aud when they started in a small stock
only was carried, but this was constant
ly being increased until today this store
carries the largest stock of ready-to-wears
and furnishings for women and
children that can be found in all of
southern Oregon.:
From a stock of about $4000 this
store: has' increased until now a $20,
000 stock is carried.
The Departments,
wero originally ready-to-wear garments,
corsets; ribbons, notions, underwear, ho
siery, gloves, handkerchiefs, belts and
jewelry; but to theso have been added
millinery; bedding, dress geods and sta
ple piece goods, travelers' supplies, em
broidery Bilks, Butterick patterns, in
fants', wear and head wear,- etc,- etc. -Benefito
to Medford.
This store ushered in a new and mod
ern merchandising system In Medford
and brought the products of the best
manufacturers and mills almoBt to the
L?erjr doors of . Medford citizens. It
was almost as good as having a big city
department store come to town, for not
only did this store show very large as
sortments, but it made prices that were
n over made before in Medford. It has
furnished employ moat to from six to 16
peoplo or as big a payroll as any other
business Imuse in Medford.
It has caused the erection of two of
Medford 's most liaudaomo business
blocks. It boosted Medford as much
as any other business in the length of
time it has been here, both in nnd out
aide of Medford, and both with money
and in other ways. It has always come
through with donations, whenever called
upon if the cause was good.
It- has saved the people of Medford
in the form of extra profits on mer
chandise something ovor $10,000 this
is a rough estimate, but not far wrong
for it has not only boon able to buy
goods for less money than most stores
in towns of this sizo can buy, but has
turned around each time and offered
these goods to the people for less prof
it than they were being Bold for else
whore in Southern Oregon. It nitro
duced tho first show windows into this
city that is dry goods windows thus
giving to the peoplo tho benefit of u
display that enabbd them to know u
bout the new goods as soon bb they
arrived in town.
It has always advertised extensively,
adopting tho fearless method of ac
quainting people with the goodn and
prices. It li:is never sneaked around
and found out a-compctHhTs1 price in
order to reduce this snnic thing quietly
nt the store.
It' has sold goods' Hi one honest price
to all if a price wbb reduced it was
advertised so that nil had the seme
chance.
It' has bi ought the new goods to
Medford almost as soon as they made
their appearance in the east, and sold
thorn at reasonable prices.
It: has constantly shewn tho new
goods instead of picking up auction
goods and passo styles and bringing
then here to sell for large profits aB
line-been the practice with some stores.
It" has kept an attractive store at all
times whero all wero invited to visit
but where no one1 Wnfs urged tb'Hrry-"
feeling that people are better satis
fied who buy without urging..
It has' guaranteed' every article sold,
thereby protecting its patrons from un
ratisfactory goods. Few stores are as
liberal as this in the matter of guaran
teeing their goodo.
It has inagurated many Bales that
nre seldom attempted in any but the
largest city stores. One of these sales
alone will aavo the rcoplo of Medford
thousands of dollars in tho course of a
year.
A Greater Store for a Greater Medford
Each day we plan to make this store
9 greater store to cut a new notch
just a little higher on the tree of success
a notch a little higher than the day
before. Everv store has its' mission.
and ours is well defined. Team work is
behind our every action and effort,
and each helper, has his or her duty to
perform and does it gladly and cheer
fully. Courteous service to our cuseo-
mere is our aim each day to demonstrate
our usefulness to the community. Whi
can a man, a hundred mm do better
than that!
Josh Billings said, "I love a rooster
for two thinirs--for bis crow and his
spurs to back it up with." The re
mark able bargains offered by this store
seems strange to some merchants.
But this store does not worship tradition
old ideas must step aside for better ones,
Some have even gone "so far as to say
that this store is cutting its'own throat
by offering new goods at reduced prices
at the beginning of the season. How
does this store sell so cheap f Here is
the reason this store studies the mar
ketwatches it searches and scours
it buvs when prices are lowest pick
up good goods at special eoneersfons'1
when they can and they found that
they could very often. Then they are
satisfied, with small profits.
