campaign of education among the peo
ple to bring home to them the ideals
and purposes under which the associa
tion is conducted.
The membership campaign which
brought the association up to its pres
ent strength was conducted by means
of personal canvass from store to store,
and the growth of the organization was
as silent as it was rapid. But even while
It grew it steadily pounded away on
the cardinal Ideas on which it was
founded.
Square Deal Emphasised.
"To the members the Ideal was to
create an organization, membership in
which shall be to the general public a
complete guarantee of the Integrity of
the merchant and of honest goods, ef
ficient service and square treatment to
the customer," says M. A. Reed, as
aistant secretary of the association.
who has been in charge of the details
of the work for several months.
Mr. Reed outlines briefly some of the
revolutionary achievements that the
association has made to carry Into ef
fect its Ideal.
The old "hieroglyphic" price mark
has been abandoned and members of
the association have been Induced to
mark their goods in plain figures so
that the buying public can read. Mem
bers of the association have been in
duced to adopt a most liberal policy of
exchange and refund for the benefit of
customers, and the association is de
veloping many important features
which will strengthen and make more
effectively serviceable its mediation
between merchant and customer. 1
Instruction Given Employes. ,

service.
In carrying forward the educational
campaign to awaken the interest of the
public in the aims of the Greater Port
land Association, speakers have been
sent to give lectures before various
women's organizations, and this method
of public education is to be extended
through the coming year.

Powers as chairman is working to

for advertising purposes to about $2000
