' Fred Bnrrell and William "Bill! Pattern, toiletry and food store managers, respectively, were high ly enthusiastic over the hundreds of exceptionally low prices pre vailing on staple lines as well as on scores of items of merchandise which the Fred Meyer buying de partment was successful in ob taining especially for the "Parade . of Progress- sale. , ." According to store executives, the underlying idea of the huge erent is to commemorate the rap id, substantial growth of the Fred Meyer Salem store wince starting in business here In 1931. At that time, 'Fred Q. Meyer purchased Burns, Inc., then located on Com mercial street. In 1932 the store was moved to the 170 N. Liberty street location which, until 1938. housed both the toiletry and food departments. In tie fall of 193S, after an extenslre modernization and expansion program, -the toi letry section moved to its present modern quarters at 14 8 North Liberty . Then in June, 1939, remodeling and enlarging of the food store was completed. Both units now represent the last word in shop ping convenience and incorporate every new advantage known to the retail world. Unique in the expansion and remodeling pro- . grams was the feat of carrying on the work, using Salem labor ex- clusively, without suspending bus iness for an hour. . The two Salem units maintain a personnel of 40 people.' In ad dition to a large annual -payroll, thousands of cases r of canned "foods J)arlng ;the -MyTe-Fine la bel are purchased here in the mld- Willamette valley. Fred O. Meyer, head, of the organization, is also a prominent stockholder in the flax Industry at ML Angel.
