' , f ' ' : " ' ' ii Salem's Wholesale ; Paper 1 House Serves Thoroughly j- aGrowing Territory . ; For more than a quarter of a century the Rodgers Paper com pany ; of .Salem has , been, serving a select clientele here in the tral VIHamette; valley. It nasj really- nerer serionsly triad to out grow its original territorial lim its; though; it has enormously In creased Us service, its number of patrons and Its volume of busi ness. . . , .: " : - r The company, serves a territory from Hubbard on the north, down to Eugene on the south, and to he - coast - on the west. ? It is -not seeking ' to ' expand: these ' boun daries; but it is growing as rap idly today as at any time during Its history,' In the addition of new trade 'within Tits own boun daries. -The- whole country,: has grown, and is today growing; to hold, the . supremacy within this limit is to grow as big and as stroag as almost any one conld wish.- 5 EverythIng In paper" Is the practical-motto' of the ' company. There are . some things ' that are not really paper, though they ac company It; wrapping twines and other store supplies that are ,'a part' of the wrappinf business.' The comany. also operates' fan extensive bindery, ' where blank books of all kinds are made,, and where custom magazines and peri odicals are handled. At times the company payroll runs up to 5 0 or. 6 0 people, thongh the usual nncongested business- calls for about 15 employes. ? ; ; H ' V " : For many; years the ' company handled only the - papers made elsewhere east, .west, north ; or south wherever papers were manufactured. But when the Or egon Pulp & Paper company the Salem paper mill, was established, the Rodgers people took over the retail sales, of - all Its products; they are ;the' valley distributors for whatever Is made by the local mills, as the paper company Itself Is not a retailer and does not sell a pound ot paper over the Coas ter. ' , . I .We enjoy, especially .the tale of the ' local papers,", said 7 Fred Thielsea. of the Rodgers company. They make , the very best paper that the trade can buy anywhere. It' is an altogether ; satisfactory product, for the ; dealer ! and tor the consumer. Whatever the fac tory makes, we handler Of course there-are many other things not made here, that we buy elsewhere, but the local mills trade is Ideally satisfactory." , ' 1 $ :; i - :i - The Rodgers company has made "Service" its supreme motto; The quicker and more satisfactorily a customer can-be served;, the bet ter the company ta pleased. A curious little Incident occurred a year or two ago that illustrates what "Service" can really mean. , : Senator Alex LaFollette, living eight miles north of Salem, has a fine peach orchard, and he uses quantities of wrapping paper, to pack, his crop. One day he phoned In to the Rodgers company to say that fce was clear out of wrappers, RDDSEEIS PAPER CO LIVES DiJ SERVfCE YiHOLESAUUG AUD JOBBING CENTER Sclem is growing fc?t cs a isholezdKng find jobbing center, ' 1 v !- ' J - TAe I7iUcnieffe Grocery Co. employs 28 people, inclsAing five: drxsnniers, end it takes goods by . farocfc to every remote corner cf this district - aa ' j - ' .

' Til see if I can eaten that, and ship you some wrappers. Oood-byeirv He flew Into the stock room, gathered up enough: wrappers to meet the demand, wrapped ' and addressed them, and ran to the Oregon Elec tric depot, a block away, in time to catch the train just as it was starting after Its very brief stop. The wrappers were delivered to the patron at his railroad station. Just off his own farm - limits, within. 1 5 minutes from the timf he telephoned the order! .. i ' . , I This i kind of , service has . been the Rodgers company aim - from tbe day it opened lta doors.: There might be times whaji luck wasn quite so kind; but luck almost al ways follows the man who hon- estly means, ' and,: intelligently plana, ;to follow; a good course een-lThe' Rodeers trader has grown larger every year, and harder "to coax or drive away by any kind of Inducements, by reason : ot its super-service. - 1 ; While 'the company carries a very , large and comprehensive stock here in 8alem, . It has ' at command the great paper ware houses of Portland for the filling of unusual orders. The relations between. the Salem house, and the Portland houses are-of a peculiar ly cordial nature, so that the Rodgers people have in effect the equivalent of : a million-dollar stock at their ' command, and a clear field . for extending their own ultra-service business within .their own chosen territory. . The Rodgers Paper company Is a local Institution, started origin ally .by local men, and always maintained as a distinctively local asset. It has built up a clientele on friendly and mutually! helpful lines, and, It baa no rival within Its own chosen fiejd. The; whole saler has It in his power to make or break , his J home ' town,; as ; be treats the outsiders withwhoin be, deals. It has been the policy of the company to make and keep friends, first for their .friendship and; only incidentally for 'the legitimate profit ot doing business on a mutually advantageous ba sis, i On this foundation the com pany has grown into an impreg nable fortress of ethical business, and its growth is limited only, by the territorial limits it sets for itself.-:' u4;;-: ... i"";;",' '' i ' " r PIOuEER JOBBER inn till George E.
