John w. Kelly, in Saturday Telegram. Some department stores whose "re turns" -won't -warrant closing before the curfew rings, might apply the above. There's an "ad writer" In town who deserves a Carnegie hero medal. It's easy to write what one believes, but It's tough on a man to ask him to write in defense of an ancient store custom that was in vogue when buffalo roamed Fifth -street, and storekeepers swapped lies with the settlers around the store stqve, until midnight found some asleep on salt "boxes. 1'es, It must be hard to write in fayor of working these hot Summer nights, 'specially when It brings down the opprobrium of one's fellow workers on a fellow's defenseless head. Yes, brother, It's tough. Tou have our sympathy. Send a medal out here, An drew, and we'll place it on the breast of a fellow that's really not a bad sort at heart. Did you see that vote of thinks ten dered this firm for their latest generous move In granting the Saturday half-holl-lday to their employes? It was printed In the three local papers Saturday and Sunday. The firm deserved It and more. So say we all of vs. 112 Store Employes.

Not hardly equal to three hours and a half after 6, when store-helpers are weary and fagged out after working hard all week. Better get a "Ready-Reckoner," brother. A strange thing occurred the past week. Over 200 of the "contented" (?) employes of another house applied to this firm for a position the coming sea son. Must be the able advertising writer who grinds out store fiction for our imitators has gone on his vacation, and a cashboy is doing the work. Leastwise, It seems so to most readers, as we no tice most of the copy is clipped from Olds, "Wortman & King's ads. lately, the prices ehlfted a bit and "any old stuff" offered to patrons that call for the roods. Of course, no experienced ad man or "merchandise manager" would tmnK or saving time and cnort in such manner. Few houses would think such -netuods Justifiable. esBecially when re sults are so poor. A great many of our helpers, are away on their annual Summer vacations at present, but their nlaces are filled bv extra ealesDeonle.

She came to Portland some months ago from one of the leadlnr Eastern style stores that is noted all over the country as a "topnotcher', In the selling of fine wearing apparel for dressy, fashionable women. She said: "I am going back to (her former employers). I am disgusted with selling such stuff as I have been compelled to do tho past sea son, gew-gaws and gilt, basted together. Just trash, of the -cheapest sort, made up for show and to sell: veneer, gloss and varnish so to apeak that just covered the cheapness that was easily apparent to the experienced eye! Trash Is the only word that expresses It and most of it has been In that store for from two to ten years, If it's been thera a day. And such loads of it! Why, with tha small amount of ault business they do, those suits will be there Tor the next 40 years." Well, that's an old story: we hear it on. every hand, but that lady was an expert and knew whereof she spoke. And yet this same store makes nauseating Claims of "leadership" in suit selling. Fudge!
