THE INDEPENDENCE MONITOR Published Weekly at Independence, Folk County, Oregon, on Friday. laMndTM Second Class Matter August 1, 1912 at the Post Office at Inde pendence, Folk Connty, Oregon, Under the Act of March 3, 1879. O. A. Hurley, Publisher Sc Proprietor Sutcription Rates: One Year $1.50 Strictly in Advance Independence, Oregon, Friday, Feb. 21, 1913 COMBAT EASTERN MAIL ORDER HOUSES The eastern mail order house i9 one of the gre atest menaces with which the merchants have to contend. The average merchant has no plan with which to combat this en croachment on hia rightful trade,' and with the inauguration of the parcel post, a concerted plan .f righting for trade, becomes necessaay. The newspaper men and the manafaclurers doing b si- neea in Oregon are the first to recognize this. Saturday the Willamette valley printers met in Albany and evolved a plan which is to be enlarged an ! made a strong factor for the development of business for the home merchant. This plan is as follows: Every newspaper represented at this meeting, and all valley papers that will co-operate with the Willamette Edi torial Association, agreed to work co-operatively to bring about the development of the home trade plan. Every paper in the association agrees to run an electro type on the front of their first page which in fact states, "patronize home industries and home merchants, this saving $20,000,000 to Oregon every year. Arrangements were made to have a home development page of advertising weekly which will be sold to to.) adver tisers at a minimum, designating products that the mer chants have for sale, many of which will be Oregon maun factured goods. The manafacturers association is willing to co-operate with the merchants in this plan, and they now have a woman employed who is organizing clubs of women in every city in Oregon to combat the foreign trade menace to Oregen. At Salem two hundred and fifty women are united in a club to patronize the home merchants. The same plan should be, and will be worked out in Independence. If we expect to build up a big manafacturing industry in Oregon, we must support the home manafacturers by buying only Oregon made goods. Every time we buy an rTlicle made in the east or of some foreign brand not made in Oregon, we are just putting that much of a stumbling block in the way of the man who employs our neighbors in his factory or mills. Banks, stores and business men of different trades and professions send to St. Paul, New York, Chicago or Minne apolis for their advertising calendars, check books, letter heads and envelopes, thus making it harder for Oregon printers and lithographers to live and make a decent income. Montgomery & Ward and Sears it Roebuck are not tho only mail order firms taMngthe merchants trade from them. Every mail brings hundreds of circulars to the homes of the farmer or town residents of this post office and these big houses must get returns or they would not be flooding your customers with circulars. Trade unions have their organizations, there are strong commercial clubs in almost every city in Oregon , the farmers are getting their granges to get the results, and the wool growers have organ!zations that go scientifically into the matters connected with their industries, but in Oregon the retail merchant, the newspapers and the Oregon mana facturers have showed less result of systematic organization than any of the trades or business enterpriees in the state. The manafacturers are iust commencing to get togethft for results, and the printers made their most effective step t Albany Saturday, but the retail merchants have only or ganization3 locally in a few places. They could best get re sults by working together. The Monitor think there is an opportunity for us to help our co iditions by organizing for the results desired- Real Estate vj For Sale ( 16 lots at $100 per lot. ted on Ash creek. DEVELOP ALL THE INDUSTRIES HERE Independence is progressing in more lines than one and this progress i9 permanent. There has been an idea pre valent among some that the hop industry is the hinge of success for this city. This i3 a mistaken idea and one that hurts the town and su: rounding community more than we realize. While the hop business is a big factor, it is not the hinge or pivot of the city w elfare or the success of the people throughout this section. The land around Inde pendence is undoubtedly the best in the valley and the crops raised here are unequaled. In vegetables, fruit and hay we believe wj can and do produce crops equal in returns ptr acre to that produced in any section of the state. While the hop business during years of high prices brings an im mense amount of money in circulation here, the people must learn that the country dees prosper without this in dustries big income. The hay farmer, the dairyman, the raiser of fine sheep, horses, cattle or hogs, the successful orchard'stsand ihe diversified farmer are all factors that help keep the wheels of Buccets moving in this country. With a few good marafacturies and a steady pay roll, In dependence would be the best town in the valley. What we need here is the co-opera tion of the people to develop all our resources and bring to us all tin- factories and mills that can be made to pay.
