The Changing Times
The era of Chain Stores came about because a
group of men with large capital could, by starting
stores in different localities increase the outlet of
merchandise eininating from one source,
The Chain Store system is nothing more than
any other store except the buying part is concentrat
ed at one place. The buyers for these stores have
their headquarters at the source of 'production and
they buy direct from the packer or the producer.
It goes without saying that a buyer who can buy
the same sort of merchandise for several hundred
stores can command a better price than a buyer for
just one store.
The secret of advantageous grocery prices in St,
Johns is this ability to buy iu connection with many
other stores. That is why you have had established
by this store better prices than prevail almost any
where in Portland.
Coupled with this buying capacity, the activity
of the owners, the acquaintance with the locality be
cause of our long residence here ought to convince
any one that we can do business at less cost than the
average grocery.
We always believed that "a word to the wise
was suficieut."

An ideal industrial community would be
one in which there was work for all the inhabi
tants and inhabitants enough to do all the work.
An ideal location for such a community
would be a site having ample space for manu
facturing plants along the lowlands bordering
the waterfront and broad hillsides for homes for
the workers.
An ideal development for such a community
would be one that offered the greatest degree of
comfort and enjoyment in the living quarters of
the town and tho highest degree of efficiency in
the manufacturing section.
Such an ideal arrangement, as far as natural
conditions go, is found in Portland's groat in-'
dustrial and shipping center the Willamctla
Columbia Peninsula.
An issue of the St. Johns Review published
Nov. 11, 1904, contained this statement: "From
a population of 250 people in 1902 at present St.
Johns has more than 2,000 inhabitants." The
district which was then the town of St. Johns
now has nearer 10,000 inhabitants.
Do you realize what tho future may be of
tho district in which you live?
