Xmas Shopping
The Consumers ' League an organization formed
for furthering the interests of cleanliness and hy
gienic conditions in the manufacture of goods for
puhlic wear and consumption; and betterment of
storekeeping by advancing the shorter hour move
ment among stores, is sending broadcast a postal
card advising early Christmas buying, shopping in
the mornings and to refrain from buying on Sat
urday nights or on Christmas eve. This is done in
the interests of store employes. It is a worthy cru
sadea crusade that stores of the Olds, Wortman
& King class originated. Shorter hours SANE
service rather than a crazy rushjVthis store closes
at earty candle-light even on Saturday night. To
be sure, there's much to be done. 2t all means work
and work means employment for hundreds of
extra helpers who are fairly paid and who have an
opportunity to ingratiate themselves by & good serv
ice and get in line for regular positions. Don't for
get that. Don't forget, either, that everyone who
draws salary must give equivalent in earning capac
ityelse there 'd soon be no money to pay salaries
with. There are two tendencies: On the part of
some employers to overwork their people; on the
part of humane committees to over-sympathize and
thus reduce the earning-inclination and powers of
the people who need to make S3'stem'atie effort. Such
great stores as this one equalizes matters and are
truly helpful. Now, there's two weeks of Christmas
ahead. Let everybody come. Bring the old;- bring
the invalids and the "shut-ins" we'll care for them.
There's plenty of rest room on secpnd'floor; mam
moth, easy-running elevators to take you up and
bring you back three of them. Let everybody for
get their troubles and their differences and imbibe
plentifully of the Christmas spirit. The Star of
Bethlehem is rising. The wise men are grooming
their camels for their journey to the manger and
Christmas-work is now fairly on: "Work.

Is spread out the greatest array of new
Toys, the biggest convention of beautiful
captivating dollies and the largest lot of'
popular games a Portland store ever saw.
More than any other truthful store has
to tell of. Surely the largest and best ex
position in all the Northwest! Now, cyn
ics will say that a store like this gives un
due attention to toys and will figure out
that we actually .-"lose money on this holiday splutter giving
valuable space ib'hobby horses and doll babies. But remember,
.please, this store is working for permanency, and that the
.youngsters who beat the drums and nurse the doll babies will
like or dislike us in the days to come. We don't believe the worst old cynic
in Portland wants to have the children dislike him. So we've ransacked the
earth to bring home to you the best toys, the prettiest dolls and the newest
games for your Christmas. Hosts of salespeople, wrappers and cashiers
more than any other city store and they'll all be glad to show you heartily
glad. A REAL LIVE SANTA CLAUS TO TALK TO THE CHILDREN.
