OREGON.CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, APRIL 25, 1913 6 SOCIAL MATTERS T7 A Frank Statement to The People of Clackamas County We want to get the trade of the best people of Clackamas . county by proving that it will pay them to give us their business Don't mistake our meaning when we say the "best" people. We have in mind the business, not the social, value of the man or woman when we say "best"; and while the rich and well-to-do are of course included in our meaning of "best" the word ex presses much more than that. The "best" class of trade is that largest number of the peo ple of Clackamas Co. who are thrifty; who look ahead; who plan get best value for the price they pay. They are settled; expect to remain here; have an interest in the general progress of our county, and have an eye to the future in behalf of their children and their children's children. The "best" trade is not all rich, or even well io -do, now; but it is far-sighted; has a good memory; and in time will buy more, and A Wide Space Separates the best and the other kind, in Sil ver Plated Ware; and yet they look alike. Time will show the difference in wear; but knowledge, coming late is expensive. You can depend on the Silver Ware we sell. We engrave ar ticles we sell free of charge. better and finer things, from the jeweler from whi. . the best it can afford if the jeweler deserves then wuuuuiug good will. This best trade stays. with the jeweler who proves to his customers that it is best for them to stay with him. ' Our plan of getting this "best" trade is to invariably sell what is best for our customers to buy. We propose to put our knowledge entirely at your service, ignoring the temporary advantage to us in sell ing you what would (at present) pay us best to sell you. we are not looking for temporary gains; we are building for the future on the foundation rock of the "What's in a Name?" Everything, when it comes to a Fill ed Watch Case. The name "Boss" and "Crescent" stand for the abso lutely best. And there's a long step down to the "just-as-good." We car ry them in all sizes. public confidence. We are after, and will get, .that confidence, whatever it costs us in present profit on articles it would pay us now, to sell, but would not payour customers to buy. We tell you frankly that we are not philanthorpists, we are simply looking out for our interests when we look out for your interests; we want your trade twenty years hence as well as today, so we have got to make it pay you to trade with us by selling to you only such goods as will prove lo you the advan tage in dealing with us the really worthy goods, and none other. The "just - as - good" kinds (which are never just as good) will have no place in this store. The "best," class of trade the rich and the fairly comfortable, and the thrifty The Howard Watch heads the list in watch excellence. It's price is justified by its per formance. It will give perfect satis faction through your life, and your son's life. We pin our faith to it in selling it, as you may in buying it. poor will not stay with the jeweler who sells disappointing goods; and we want that "best" trade. The jewelery business is different from most -others. In many other lines of trade the buyer can bank on his own judg ment, more or less in buying clothing, groceries, house furnish ings and what not. But he does not have he cannot have any valuable judgment as to the difference, say, in two grades of diamonds, or two makes ef watch cases. He must go by his faith in the jeweler; just as he must go by hts faith in the doc tor, or the lawyer or the banker. Consequently in no other line of merchandise is there greater opportunity for deception, or for selfishness, than the jewelry business presents; for the customer must rely on Edison Phonographs Your time will be well spent if you will call at our store and hear the latest Edison Disk Phonograph. We are exclusive agents for the Edison Disk and Cylinder Machines and Records in Oregon City. the jeweler to treat him squarely. Just in proportion as the customer's ig norance of value is greater than when buying other merchandise, the jeweler's re sponsibility . is greater in selling. Therf ore, if the jeweler would build up an enduring business a business that would constantly widen through the favoring word of pleased cus tomers he must secure that public confidence which is as much a part of his capital as it is of a banker's capital. So we shall strive to deserve the confidence of the people of Our Gold Filled Jewelry Wears and looks like Solid Gold. Our Gold Filled Jewelry is the very best that money can buy. We gladly replace any gold filled article we sell that does not wear satisfactorily. Clackamas County by invariably selling what is best for the custo mer to buy; by stating values as they are, in exact knowledge of their worth; and by an unvarying practice of "the square deal."
