The trouble with Or egonthe real trouble is the foolish cant going out in some of the standpat press. If these simple-minded journals woul quit their 'knocking, old Oregon might get into the galaxy of Western states that are doing business at the old stand and adding new commerce and new capital every day.

Jobbers and Manufacturers are shortening terms and cutting down credit. They are making large concessions for cash. The Retail dealer must follow suit. By doing business on a cash basis we eliminate all loss, buy cheaper, sell for less, give better service, and do away with the time and expense ot Bookkeeping. OUR CASH SYSTEM briefly stated, is simply this WE SELL for CASH or BANKABLE NOTE. In order to carry out this system and not deprive anyone of it's advantages .we have originated an Acceptance Form. This method of purchasing may be used by the farmer who sends for goods the contractor the man who purchases by phone or by employee, and on city, county school or road district business. All we ask is trial. Come in and let's talk it over. a E ALLEN SucwiMor to Nelon Hardware Co. A verv oleasant time was pni.iv ed at the Kasmussen Brothers farm, four miles south of town Saturday.
