PORTLAND, OREGON, NOVE3IBER 10, 11)13, yQ- 45 - Postscript It is an old adage and a good one that "Charity begins at home." The prospect of the pre-holiday "rush" has already brought out the "Shop Early plea. ' The gift-buying season is actually close upon us, and we hasten to assure our public whom we have found to be the kindliest in the world that we have long ago provided for the strenu ous Christmas season. No one need be rushed or tired out. for our far-sighted chief of service has already arranged for enough "extra help" to meet every emergency. One of the precepts of our business has always been that the way to best serve our customers is to take good care of our employes. No amount of vigi lance on our part could inspire in our salespeople a really cheerful and in telligent interest in the wants of our cus tomers. But by "taking thought" in every possible way for the comfort and health of our employes, we have been rewarded with a loyalty and a courtesy of our coworkers that is extended to our customers. A position with Liprrian.. Wolfe & Co. has come to mean the acme of ability. It is because we make it a practice to see that each employe shall do his or her quota of work and not be burdened with more during rush sea sons, that we are enabled to keep our pleasant and efficient body of sales people with us year after year. It is with this idea. that we have made our hours shorter than those of ny department store in the United States. We are open for business at 8:30 in the morning (Saturdays at ?:I5). and we close at 5:45 every night except Saturday. The large, sunny lunch room on the seventh floor s as cheerful as we could make it. 3enerous cups of tea and coffee or glasses of milk are provided gratui tously to make the lunches seem more palatable, and a steady stream of alert. 5usiness-like salespeople make use of it -rom 11:00 until 2:00. The rest oom, with its -cretonne curtains, its -oomy wicker chairs and cushioned :ouches. is just adjoining. Books and aagazines abound, and a friendly trained nurse mingles with the girls and attends to all the small troubles that might grow into big ones. How much setter than to worry along all day in jtter misery for the lack of practical aid! . The hospital room is on the same floor, where the "cases," which are bound to come up from 'me to time, we taken care of. You are invited to inspect all of- these places at any time. Another of our "success secrets" is sur aim to be sufficient unto the day. vVe wish to provide for your needs a you call for them and not to force ean tales by enlisting your sympathy. It is for this reason that we wish to announce that we are anticipating the holiday spirit in making ample pro vision for the holiday rush. There will be no racked nerves and tired faces here, for we shall have enough people to do all of the work comfortably.
