Up-to-Date and Novel
Advertising Methods Adopted
by an Enterprising House.
That The Prineville Mercantile
Co. is fast becoming metropolitan
in tbe methods of advertising used
by our merchant to call the buy
ing public's attention to the many
splendid values which tbey are of
fering, also that tbe wide-awake
firm of The Prineville Mercantile
Co. are keeping up with and just
a little ahead of the times in an
advertising respect is sgain prac
tically demonstrated by what is
perhaps the most elaborate lystem
of advertising ever attempted by
any business house in this section,
namely: the giving away of a
beautiful 1400 Parlor Grand Piano
which is now on exhibition st their
store.
The piano retails at $400.00
each, guaranteed for ten years.
The principal points of superiority
of this celebrated Grand piano
over any othtr of this class of in
struments lie in the three strings
in unison with overstrung bass,
the splendidly pitched scale snd
true sounding board which give
the instrument that rich, deep,
even tone so much admired.
In a recent interview with
Mas srs. Jordan & Robinson regard
ing this decided innovation in ad
vertising, Mr. Jordan stated: "We
have been enjoying the patronage
and confidence of the buyers of
this community for some time
now and by always trying to keep
our stocks complete the saying
that 'You can get it at Jordan's
has become a household expression
In giving sway this piano we are
actuated by a double purpose, to
show our appreciation of the pat
ronage of our friends during the
past, also to encourage new trade
and to bring the many splendid
values we are now showing in all
lines to the attention of every
buyer in this territory. The plan
we are using in giving away this
piano is equitable and fair to all,
simply this, every person buying
one dollar's worth of anything in
our store will receive a coupon
good for 100 votes. The person re
turning to us the largest number
of votes will be given the piano
absolutely free of all cost. No
favors will be shown. Our repu
tation for 'square dealing' assures
our customers of that fact."
This four hundred dollar Parlor
Grand Piana is surely a present
worth having and we predict
very "merry race" for votes during
the next few months.
The Prineville Mercantile Co. is
surely to be congratulated upon
their broad-minded methods and
"Trade Getter" advertising system.
C. C. H. S. Notes
The domestic science department
entertained the high school board
and the high school faculty at a six-
course dinner last week. The
viands were prepared by the girls
in the department kitchen and
served in the department dining
room. The girls proved that they
knew the "why, what and how" of
cookery by their manner of cooking
and serving this dinner.
The Ladies' Annex of the Prine
ville Commercial Club gave the
domestic science department a
check for five doll us last Tuesday.
The money was given for the pur
pose of purchasing needed kitchen
utensils. The girls were very happy
because of the interest and kindness
shown them.
The faculty of Crook County
High School are preparing a
schedule for a summer school to be
held in Prineville in time for the
county teachers to take advantage
of the work in preparing for state
examinations. Students will also
be allowed to make up back work
and there will be a class in methods
All those interested should write
Superintendents Myers or Baugh
man. The juniors are arranging for a
class play in the near future.
Orations are the chief topic in
the English department just at
present. The contest date is rapid
ly approaching.
The German classes are doing
good work this year. Already Miss
Herman can converse with her
pupils in the language of the Kaiser.
The manual training boys are
turning out some fine pieces of
work. They are anxious for the
patrons of the school to visit them
in their industrial room.
The botany classes were given a
rare treat when" they were taken by
their instructor, Mr. Smith, to his
home where they had the privilege
of studying 150 specimens of Ore
gon flowers that were artistically
mounted and displayed upon the
walls of several rooms. The flowers
had been collected and mounted by
Mrs. Edward during the past year
and given as illustrations for her
upon "Oregon Mowers" at the
Shumia Club meeting Saturday.
The club met at Mr. Smith's home
and he asked the privilege of allow
ing his classes to inspect the fine
collection.

A Carelessly Treated Cold

is the source of most sickness because drugged
