The Eagle sym bolizes the. mightiest glories of our Nation. It is the bird of Freedom, living in the purest levels of the upper air, overriding all that's low or base, and soaring upward always, above and beyond. Why not make its characteristics your own? Why not follow in method and pratice its upward flight, and model our commercialism after its nobility? The Olds, Wortman & King Store Is the Eagle of the coterie of great stores on the Pacific Slope. Its broad pinions are spread in protective sweep over the interests of its great pub lic and its army of employes alike. Eegretfully we admit there is still much for the Eagle to do. There is still much to do for the betterment of storekeeping and the crude conditions that surround us. There is among some stores a tendency to deceive the public in many ways. Slim and flimsy excuses are offered for deficiencies and for old fogy methods, such as a Wy-hour day, for instance. Stores that offer such, insult their constituency and lie to themselves. Our continuous assaults are making some inroads upon these unwholesome conditions; but we need the forceful co-operation of all. We want an enlightened understanding of the rights of our fellow-workers. Toward a more humanitarian spirit in storekesping our efforts are directed; our long-bore gattling guns are trained upon the festering spots, and 'tis only a question of time when this store will have uprooted the ancient and medieval customs of stores that surround it and eliminated the monster, slavish evil that afflicts a community thai is sapped by commercial vultures that live upon the life sweat of overworked employes. Human slavery was not entirely abol ished by the proclamation of the immortal Lincoln, it surrounds us today. Would YOU help to rid your city of its stigma? Then, everything else being equal or conditions better, confine your trading to stores that consider their helpers, stores "representative" of honesty, RELIABIL ITY and quality rather than stores "representative" only of greed: and merciless avarice. Do your buying at stores thaif close their doors and send their helpers home when the day is done. I The Olds, Wortman & Siing Store Closes Every Evening During tne Year at b v. n. uoses Saturday During August at I P. M. SPECIAL NOTE: We are delighted to inform our friends and pa trons that the early-closing movement of Saturday was an unqualified success looking at it from a purely commercial standpoint alone. Our sales from 8 A. M. to 1 P. M. amounted to more than any Saturday in any previous August in the store's history, of ten hours' selling.
