FROM ONE ROOM TO
BIG PLANT IS GROWTH
Miller, Simington & Calhoun, Portland Dry Goods and Notion Whole
salers, Beach Trade of Many States.
PROM the modest beginning or a
single room in the Blake-McFall
building in 1911 to a $25,000 fire
proof brick atruoture of their own in
1914, is the encouraging progress
shown by one Portland wholesale
house that of Miller, Slmington &
Calhoun, dealers In dry goods and no
tions. The stock has increased from
small proportions to what is now val
ued at JltfO.OOO.
Th firm in now emnlovinit 25 clerks
and has 10 salesmen on the road A
new catalogue just issued is Deing
sent to 2000 merchants in Oregon,
Washington and Idaho.
Though orders have been received
from as far as Nome, Alaska, on the
north and Long Beach, Cal., on the
south, the firm of Miller, Simlngton &
Calhoun deals mainly with customers
in Oregon and wasningion ana west
ern Idaho.
All staple notions, laces, embroid
eries, handkerchiefs, veilings, knit
goods, Infant hosiery and underwear
are carried by the firm, which is
gradually branching out stronger in
the dry goods lines. The company is
the Pacific Coast representative of the
Richardson Silk Company, of Chicago,
and handles a complete line of their
silks and art goods.
The new quarters of the firm at
Fifth and Couch streets are airy and
light, covering ground 100x100, and
incorporating many modern time-saving
devices In the handling of goods.
A desk fitted with wheels running on
a small track is used in the billing
department to expedite the work.
Especial attention is given to mail
orders and every endeavor is made to
get such an order out of the shop the
day it Is received. The firm has made
it a rule never to allow any order
to remain on its hands for more than
24 hours.
The stock Is kept continually mov
ing and is almost entirely changed
every six months. Modern methods of
handling make necessary little delay
In the placing of new stock or in the
disposal of old.
The new catalogue which has Just
been sent out is replete with illustra
tions and makes an attractive appear
ance. The majority of the cuts ara
made in Portland, the printing of the
catalogue is all done by a local firm.
