the first forcible and logical reason given
Portland furniture buyers why any one
could undersell somebody else. "
Furthermore, people knew that we
would be chumps if we failed to embrace
such an opportunity to build up a big busi
ness by putting our prices way down low,
something we could well afford to do when
we had neither rent nor interest to con
sider. An investigation of our prices proved
that we knew what would "bring pepole to
the East Side, and our business growth has
simply been I phenomenal and. has at
tracted widespread attention.'

we are hitting hard.

not refrain from laughing to see. the at
tempt of another to crawl under our tent.
