As the new parcel |**'t rate' are now in force the mail order merchants are reading the conn try papers and are watching the advertisements with eagle eye' When they find that the IMfChSIltS DOl UM the !'-‘ t- ' ■ U> ad vertise their goods they immediately Hood the country with thetr catalogues— they well know the farmers want to '«•«• the prices in black and white The Hillsboro Independent publishes the plan outlined by a merchant o f that town to meet the condition and give the mail order houses a set back. It says: The plan is for the business men to unite and buy space in the local papers for a year, the space to la* tilled with the cards of the different merchants. In effect this would la1 a busine." director' and would at least inform the readers of the paper, many o f whom it must not be forgotten, are new comers, w hat lines of business are represented in Hillsboro. The business man figured that there are more than 100 dif ferent concerns in the city, only a small proportion of which in vite trade or let the people know they an* in business through the columns o f the papers. The Independent has believed merchants have not availed themselves o f this method o f meeting outside competition to the extent they might. The business directory plan cannot but ac complish good and emphatically advertise the business resources o f the city, but we believe in addition a strong effort to attract business should be made by detailed description o f weekly offer ings, and if possible, the prices asked. O f course, then* is the merchant who says advertising doc - not pay, but he has his answer in the statement of the catalogue house manager. Used intelligently as the catalogue house u-es it. it returns a big per cent on the investment, but it should al ways be considered an investment, not an expense.

RO BERT M cSHERRY, Manager ' ^ j, RICHMOND 8POKKSM AN Remember that water rents are now payable on or before the 10th o f each month, and if not paid by the 10th a penalty will la- added, and if allowed to run until the 15th of the month the water will be shut off. And there you are. This continued moist weather is sure bringing a smile to the faces o f the dry farmers in this part o f Central Oregon, for it as sures bumper crops o f all kinds the coming fall. The name o f Lynch & Roberts in Redmond stands for good goods and better values, and when they advertise a sale the people know it is a bona fide sale— no fake about it. The “ dead” sometimes come to life for a short time, is evidence o f that in Redmond lately.
