Oregon has many abuses. Also
t has many beniticent laws.
Notwithstanding some of the
stanupat press have been calling
Oregon the "fool of the family"
for years, and taking a position
that capital should steer clear,
there is at present a big influx
of outside money coming into
the state. 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. And still, di
you ever consider that you lose
time when you argue with
a person who has gone crazy
on one particular pet theory?

The Cash System
of doing business is the MODERN WAY.
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.
