This Store Stands
of the Dc
Proudly" the majestic Eagle sweeps
with outstretched wings above the
crags of Nature's Wonderland,
cleaving the clear azure of the loft
iest heights, wakeful and watchful
from the earliest hours of dawn
until the purpling twilight bids
goodnight to Toil. 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. Thanksl
