The annual forty million dol
lar buying power of the recently
organized Commercial Associates,
a co-operative association of seven
big furniture companies or the
Pacific coast, will react toVthe ad
vantage of the retail purchaser
in the form of better prices on
furniture, according to informa
tion received by C. F- Giese, man
ager of the local Giese-Powera
store, from Ira F. Powers, pres
ident of the' Ira F. Powers com
pany, Portland, who has also been
elected first president of the Com
mercial Associates.
Mr. Powers said that it is the
aim o fthe new association to pro
mote the sale of Pacific coast
manufactured furniture, orders
for more than $500,000 worth of
furniture having already been
placed with one Portland com
pany. The plan, of purchasing
blankets, robes and other Pacific
coast manufactured articles is al
so contemplated by the new or
ganization. "This organization of furniture
men.'" said Mr. Powers, "is in
keeping with the co-operative as
sociations that have proven suc
cessful in so many other lines of
merchandising.
Cooperation is now a recogniz
ed business force. Commercial
Associates has in mind the pro
motion of better homes, sales ef
forts to bring home-furnishings
to the home owner at as low a
cost a3 is consistent with reliable
goods and fair service, and to
promote the sale of Pacific coast
products."
Mr. Powers, who has been fore
most in bringing the new organi
zation to a successful culmina
tion, said that the association idea
had so appealed to large eastern
companies that membership will
be extended to ten big eastern
firms. j

WHY I AM A PILOT
V 52 YEARS ON SHIP
: tGontiautd from pac 1) -
ed for many years on the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers; as master of
river steamers and owned the his
toric steamers Black Hawk and
Crey Eagle, was one of those in
vited guestS; to witness the com
pletion of a western river steamer.
.-For ten years he bad studiously
avoided coming hi direct contact
with the river clan, not that he
wished to forget the thrilling days
of the- past when a ., race was al
ways welcomed or that he wanted
to cat the brotherhood tie wedded
so firmly in his youth,. but for fear
that the old urge or impulse might
overcome him and send him back
to the ranks in his declining years.
. He finally resolved to form one
of the party, assuring himself that
be woutcT never agaln. be lured In
to service, but failed to foretell
that the fates had willed that his
grandson would be offered as a
sacrifice to the wiles of Lorelei,
a female deity revered by the riv
ermea. "?
Having inherited the lure of the
river, I obtained permission to go
aboard permission, to go aboard
and view the steamer - and soon
had traversed her decks from main
to hurricane. , - ,
- Ia the steward's department
was a; negro cook who. had served
as chef on the Mississippi, and
.recognized in my grandsire a for
mer employer- ;V - ;
Dufing the spinning of yarns of
an - earlier day the subject "of
whether steamboating was an in
heritable disease or not came up
and then I became the center of
attraction or the "it" of the.dis
cossion. When asked if the life of a riv-
erman appealed to me I promptly-
pleaded guilty and the cook, Tom
Washington, insisted that I was
not too young to take up the cross
as he called it and begged that I
might come with hkn on the new
Bteamer. ,
A prompt refusal was about to
be made at the solicitation but
when Captain Charle3 Holman in
terceded I was granted the boon
that I had longingly hoped would
one day come to me and realized
that I was to become one of the
river clan, a distinction not look
ed upon as lightly .as it is. today.
Captain Holman agreed to stand
sposor, for me and Tom was to
see that I learned the ropes, which
in his department meant pots and
kettles. .
The , munificent salary f $10
per month meant nothing in my
young lifet pay day had too joy
or thrill for me. the Bpirifof the
river was in my blood, the hand of
destiny had : reached out and
plucked me as the last in line to
carry on in a vocation that had,
as. our genealogical history of Our
tribe of Smiths informed us," start
ed with Francis Drake on the high
seas and from there to the classi
cal waters, of the.flbio and Mis
sissippi until the mantle of the
Columbia and Willamette fell up
on mypuny shoulders.
; With this seemingly heavy re
sponsibility resting thereon small
blame could be found or censorous
words addressed to me when !
looked -with disdain upon my boy
hood friends and termed them
land lubbers.
