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. Mor

we ask our friends to be patient with

JUDICIOUS DISCRIMINATION
Every man when he starts out to buy a piano has the intention of getting a
good one. He wants his home surrounded by the best influences. Since a
piano becomes a permanent fixture in the home, it goes a long way in mould
ing musical taste and intellectual development. If you have a child to educate
in music you want it to develop"" musical talent of refined quality, equal to that
of the child of the millionaire.

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. Men
who never care to roll np their sleeves
nor wear knee trousers, women who
find it impossible to hid their scrawny
necks and pin-point elbows, can now
join the ranks of the well-developed,
plump and successful-looking.
Sargol is Nature's dependable rem
edy for emaciation and all debilitat
ed conditions resulting in loss of
flesh. It also increases the weight of
those who were born thin.
Sargol is not a "fattener." it
simply causes perfect assimilation of
one's daily food. Plump, well-developed
persons have perfect assimila
tion; thin, scrawny men and women
lack this one thing. Sargol remedies
this defect and Nature does the rest.
Those who are lacking in bodily de
velopment are advised to first try a
free 50-ceut package of Sargol, which
will be sent promptly in a plain en
velope, together with convincing lit
erature telling of the various kinds
of thinness and how Sargol puts on
flesh (not flabby fat) in a natural
way.
