' He'DittertMt Sfre " to 3l w i5 Portland's Foremost Store with Largest Stocks on Pacific Coast , "GERMS" A day or two since we read in a local paper an article by a learned scientist a resident of our own "Rose City" on "Disease Germs as Pro mulgated in Plank and Porus Sidewalks." The article in question had a tendency to cause folk to take to the "middle' of the road" a thorough fare that many politicians have traversed from time immemorial. Speaking of germs You've been taught of late years to live in dread of germs. You've become almost afraid to kiss the kissable. Modern hobby riders have pretty nearly scared the wits out of a lot of us. Don't get nervously afraid of things. Germs maybe most sorts of germs are good, but some are bad. Especially prominent among the latter class are the germs of DISHONESTY. For instance: A certain store advertises a silk petticoat as "Special at $5.85," or "Millinery at 23 per cent reduction." And the facts of the case are that the self-same p'etticoats are a fair regular value at $5.00, and, the millinery is marked up 33 per cent before it is lowered a penny. These are FACTS. Investigation has proven it beyond peradventure. Of course, we cannot name the stores. We trust that such do not exist within the confines of Portland and yet, wouldn't it be well to investigate? Whenever this store advertises a "SPECIAL" value, it states first its regular FAIR valuation as set by America's standard stores for instance, today "WOMEN'S $10 PETTICOATS FOR $4.98." Ten dollars is the regular selling price of the skirt, and $4.98 the special price. No matter how much we lose or what the story of OUR buying, these are the FACTS. Insist then on knowing the fair value of an article before you pay a "SPECIAL" price. By COMPARISON we thrive and grow. Compare, investigate. Mind you, this store always gives the regular value of a thing first when ad vertising goods under price, then the special price. Avoid "tricks that are vain" as practiced by careless stores. Insist that all stores do the same. D.ear, dear, what a field of thought we've jumped into J Maybe there are germs of success. This business seems to justify such a guess.
