Member of National Editorial Association Oregon State Editorial Assiciation Oregon Newspaper Conference THE GUARD ON ENGLISH. The purist of journalism, the CoD-ige Grove Sentinel, prints this. “The Eugene Guard ami The Rai nier Review found 4 procociou.-i ’ | used in our columns, in the spell ing of the word The Sentinel could have used an 4e’ out of ‘proceedure’, a word that appeared in The Guard during the past week. That evens the score with The Guard for the nonce.” True enough; quite so. But if memory serves aright The Sentinel’s use of “procorious” (which, singularly enough, rhymes with atrocious) was in the form of un editorial com meriting on the feet that although “precocious” was a word often used, the editor had searched all the dictionaries in Cottage Grove for it, with complete lack of sue cess. We ran alibi 44proceedure as a typographical error. The Sentinel do as much for cocious’’!—Eugene Guanl. The Sentinel regrets ths usually reliable and always highly esteemed Guanl should demonstrate such a faulty memory. Our are open and, if The Guard find where The Sentinel sii«l The Guard attempts to quote j it ns having said, we shall try to prove that. 4‘precocious” and The 44atrocious” do not rhyme, misspelled word was used, as The Guanl may learn by consulting its own files, in an editorial squib complimenting The Guard under its present management. We dislike verv much Io take advantage of The Guard this way, but it seems to us it lakes a stretch of the imagination to alibi “pro ceedure” as a typographies I error. In the sen - • i.i which the cvpns sion is generally used, it refers only to unwitt’ng errors. Spelling it “proceednn ' is too common rn error to be Di'is defended, hi f-r t. toJat. Briefly this—A merchant agrees to loan the purchaser a bill of goods to be paid for in cash in 30 or 60 or 90 days. Then the merchant, operating charge accounts, is in reality in the Loan Busi ness. Yes, and with definite rates of interest which he collects. How does he collect interest? By adding to the retail price the prevailing bank loan rate on money, plus his pre vious rate of losses sustained through unpaid accounts (usually 5 per cent on sales volume), plus his overhead cost of collections and bookkeeping ex pense. The customer must always pay these extras. To Pay Cash As You Go Makes It Possible for you to enjoy the freedom of purchasing wherever you can save most. Have you ever noticed how much more courteous and painstaking sales people are in stores where a Cash Sell ing Policy is maintained! Society P’t voll.
