Time for Action in Portland
“S'
If your salary was
raised a third tomorrow
it would not affect your actual inoome any more than if
your wife went to the Yamhill Street Public Market two
or three times a week, and saved a third on the family
eatables.
We talk about reducing the cost of living. But how
many of us make any effort to do it? Resolve to start now
—come down to this big co-operative market and buy fresh,
quality Produce, Fruits, Meat, Butter, Eggs, Coffee and all
Groceries, first hand, with the middlemen's profits cut out.
