PURCHASES ARE MADE
ON IMMENSE SCALE
Large Stock of Supplies Car
ried to Meet Purchasers'
; Immediate Demands.
The operation of a purchasing de
, partmenf, of a big establislimrnt such
as Iiallou & Wright's is nclence plus
experience and foresight In regard to
what wtir.be in demand..
With th) company in question the
' purchantngr department lias been bo
perfectly Systematized that a casual
Inquirer watching It work, would get
the Idea that h could step in and run
lt himself.
, The system Js simplicity itself. That
' 1h one of the reasons It operates so
;. successfully. But back of the method
Is the experience of years with a buy
' Ing public, a thorough knowledge of
what wjll inert with favor and a de
termination not to put on the shelves
any article for (sale that appeals to the
' "faddist" but has no real use.
Three big lines are handled by Bal
lou & Wright automobile and motor
cycle accessories and supplies, motor
cycles and bicycle, and the work
which the purchasing department must
do is not small.
Kuch year almost 91, 000.000 worth of
goods are purchased. This means that
articles are bought from virtually
every state of the Union and some
from Kurope. Something over 20,000
. requisitions are made and hundreds, of
. factories are called upon- to fill them.
C. K. Wright, vice president of the
company, supervises, the purchasing
departments of both the ' local store
FROM OFFICE BOY TO .
PURCHASING AGENT
Fred Nowotny, Entered Em
ploy of Firm as Errand
Boy Several Years Ago,
When Fred Nowotny, manager of
the purchasing department of Ballou
& Wrightk started out as a youth to,
learn the plastering business, constant
elevation of his arms above his head
made- them ahe. .
"This 1m no" business. for a man of
my temperament," he said. "If I stick
to this, I'll lick something." :
"So," he explained, "I decided
would lick stamps," and. got a job with
Ballou & .Wright, as general office boy,
errand boy, and everything else.
That was some years ago. He grew
up with the firm, so to speak, and
when the business got so large that a
separate purchasing department waa
organized Nowotny was" placed at its
head, which position he has since re
tained. He was born in London in 1884, but
arrived with his parents In Portland
when a year old, and has lived here
ever since.
We Recommed This Tandem
and the Seattle branch. In Portland
Fred Nowotny is the head of the de
partment and G. Gray Lemley, assis
tant manager at Seattle, takes care of
the "requisitions there.
Advertising is not a new art but is
a new emphasis to the old art of sales
manship. Emphasize your business in
your local newspapers, and they will
reciprocate by accelerating your aales.

.Reading Standard.
Bicycles
are built for discriminating
riders. They never have
and never will be sold on
the consideration of price.
In their construction SAFE
TY comes FIRST, and each
machine is built to provide
a margin of safety ample to
meet the most severe serv-'
ice -abuse even. Style and
finish are, of course, appar
ent in every detail and there
is also a quiet distinctive
ness in Reading Standard
Bicycle design that enhances
their more intrinsic value.
THIS line is one of the oldest lines on the market
and made by one of the most substantial com
panies engaged in the bicycle industry. Reading
Standard Bicycles have won the most enviable reputa
tion for satisfactory service in use. The 1914. line is
completestyles and prices to accommodate the great
est number of riders. Each year the practical better
ments of Reading Standards give them the higher rela
tive second-hand value. And, finally, the excellent
service Reading Standards give their owners adds regi
ment after regiment to our already overwhelming army
of enthusiastic boosters. You can cash in on all this.
Write and we will tell you how.
