The Oregon Shoe company for the first year or two will not have as its main object a matter of making money. The real object of the store will be to produce real volume sales which will en able us to buy In quantities and after a time will show a profit and still hold to the low prices that at first did l not show a profit. This method of doing business is not entirely new. Ten years ago the Price Shoe company or iginated .Wednesday rubjer heel day at half prices. For the first year these heels were put on at an actual loss but after that time connections were established with large factories taking enormous quantities of heels, buying them at such a low figure that today they are pnt on the shoes for Just half the amount they formerly cost and there Is a small profit realized on each pair. We expert to carry this method out in the selling of shoes, while we may not be able to cut the price In two at the beginning we hope to prac tically do so in time. Shoes sold at 17.00. $8.00 and HO.OO we are going to offer you it SS.95. M 93 and $5.95. One thing we want distinctly understood we are not going to sacrifice quality In any way to produce these prices. A low sell ing cost, quick turnover, twenty years of buying experience and unlimited credit must be respons ible for the low cost of shoes to you. Every pair of shoes sent out must give perfect service as our guarantee is Just as good as vour money, and has been recog nized so for a great many years. Av. I1TI0N SUBJECT! HOME ECONOMICS COX FEB-!

The first connection will be made Monday. January 30 The hours of operation for transatlantic telephone service to Dutch points will be from 7:30 a m. to i if! m. eastern standard time, the same as that now in use for British and Belgian points The rate for the Netherlands will be $3.75 higher for three minutes and $1.25 higher for each sue ceeding minute than the present rates from the United States and Cuba to London. Thus a Portland call for Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague will cost $90.75 for the first three minutes and $26.25 for each minute thereafter The route traveled by an Aaaeri can-Dutch call will be the same as any other transatlantic call as far as London. From London, how ever, the call will reach the Dutch subscriber, by means of a submar ine telephone -cable under the North sea, which establishes direct communication between Amster dam,. Rotterdam and The Hague. The first such cable was laid In June. 1922, and the growing traf fic between England and the Netherlands has required two ad ditional cables since that date any of which may be used for the American-Dutch call.
