The Chaminade Club, of Marshfield, Or., has engaged Mrs. Rose Coursen-Reed as Musi TTh ror .1 i eland I ave a N ew rum itare Trust? Portland is striving for a population of 500,000 in 19 12. Must all newcomers, all recruits to Portland's "half a million," be welcomed with the gladjiand of greed? With a tax of "all the traffic will bear" when their new homes are furnished? Are furniture deal ers endeavoring to circumvent the anti-trust laws which smashed their former, combination by having factories fix prices? If this is not true, and if they favor competitive methods instead of fixed minimum prices, why did every dealer in Portland except Mor-gan-Atchley sign a written agreement with the Oregon Chair Co. to be governed by its minimum retail scale? Of course, little deal ers with small stores and little capital dare not refuse such an ulti matum as sent by the Oregon Chair Co., and are not to be cen sured, but why did none of the Big Price Boys, the Old Trust War riors, the "We-buy-in-carload-lots" Dealers defy the new move ment? They are always spouting about how cheap they can sell; why did they want somebody to hold them back so they could not get at the other fellow and lick him, undersell him and prove their sincerity to the public? Do you suppose they would rebel and defy the other local factories and the jobbers if all such factories and job bers should present "minimum-selling-price-or-we-sell-you-no-more-goods" ultimatums? "By their fruits ye shall know them"; by one's works shall one be judged and justified or condemned. Everybody knows what these same dealers did before, which indi cates "where their hearts are." We are now exposing a new move ment, whereby the dealers agree with the factory, instead of with each other, to maintain fixed prices. Our reward of $10 for proof that any dealer refused to sell Oregon chairs in accordance with the "legitimate profit as named by the manufacturer" has not been claimed. Why cannot dealers leave the channels of commerce open and free? Must they yield to the spirit of greed? Must they become slaves to the spirit of avarice? The most hopeless feature of the situation is that there is an apparent disposition to be proud of greediness. In our ads we have often defended dealers against the charge that they were greedy, have said it was their misfortune, not their fault, that they asked such enormous prices for furniture, have shown that they paid such enormous rent as to leave no choice but big prices, have repeatedly asked the question, if Others Pay Rent. We Collect Rent. Who Can Sell the Cheapest? But the other dealers continually refuse to accent this defense. They absolutely refuse to concede the fact that our economic posi tion gives us any advantage. They claim the ability to sell as low as we do. Then, why don't they? That we do sell the cheapest throughout our entire line as a whole is absolutely true. There fore the dealers' themselves convict themselves of greediness. They absolutely refused to stand for our defense of them; they simply will be avaricious whether we see them in that light or not, and to prove it they sign agreements to sell certain goods no cheaper than "so much." What can you do with such people? That is the way they substantiate all the good things we have said of them. Great support, isn't it? Well, if they must prove themselves greedy, we suppose there is nothing else for us to do except to agree with them. But to have to believe such things of your fellow man is not encouraging to high ideals, is it? However, we shall not worry about the dealers. It is with the public that we are more con cerned. The public has given us such universal support that within one year we have become one of Portland's largest and most pro gressive furniture stores. Then how shall we show our gratitude? Had we joined in the game to raise prices on dining chairs, we could not consistently have refused to go into the next card-stacking game presented to us, and soon everybody in Portland would be up against it when it came to buying furniture. Can you imagine baser ingratitude? Why Is It That Merchants Forget the People s Interests after they have grown big and independent? Is that what you call gratitude? Again, suppose we sit idly by, like cowards, and refused to pose tne new movement, refused to spend ex- the necessary money, and shrank from the abuse that falls to the lot ' of those who attack trust methods? Wouldn't that also be base ingratitude to the public? How are the people to be defended if no one is brave enough or interested enough to make the fight? It is up to us to pre vent any trust movement gaining head way, and we hope to give a good ac count of ourselves. Our Mr. S. H.

Until these arrive we ask our friends to be patient with our broken and incomplete line. Having been suddenly cut off from purchasing where we had been buying regularly, from the Oregon Chair Co.

NO NEED BE THIN Easy to Put On Good, Solid Flesh 50-Cent Pack age FREE. One of the most notable of recent discoveries is Sargol, the new treat ment which actually increases the weight of those who use it. Women as well as men are delighted with its prompt and immediate effects.
