Salem Stores'
Growth Rapid
Sales Event jo., Celebrate
FirmV Strides With
-f two Units Here
. ;',"', -
The largest Tolume of adTertls
ini erer placed in a Salem news
paper by a Salem retail store to
publicise a specific merchandising
eyent is that of the two Fred Mey
;er units here food and toiletry
stores whose six pages of adver
tising elsewhere in' today's iasae
of The Statesman announce ' tbeJ
Fred Meyer "Parade of Progress"
sale, i ! '
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.

US Bacon May

Go
Danish Dairy : Products
r Cut; Rayon Industry
May Be Affected
WASHINGTON. April
The spread of war to Denmark
and Norway was bad news for
most " American business today,
but economic experts in the com
merce department' said - England
might turn to the United States
for some of the large bacon or
der formerly placed in Denmark!
To a lesser extent, they said,
the United States might furnish
some of the butter and eggs for
which the Danes were famous.
The chief blow to American
business, they added, was the
potential cutting off of a special
kind' of Scandinavian 'wood pulp
vital to the rayon industry Ja
pan's rayon industry ' may be
similarly ffeeted.
American Investors own about
189,000,000 of Danish bonds and
about 165,000.000 of Norwegian
securities but the experts said
it was too early to predict the
fate of these Investments. '
American automobile, petrol!
enm. agricultural implement and
other industries have branch and
assembly plants in Scandinavia
which might be imperiled. Most
of them are In Sweden, where
American property Investments
total 226,000,000.
None of the three countries Is
an Important debtor of the United
States government. They, owed
this government nothing from the
last war, and had, used only a
small part of the credits recent-t
ly extended them by the export-j
import bank; . J
Warren h". Plerson,1 president
of the export-import bank, said
today that Denmark had used
none of its 810.000.000 creditj
Norway only about 1500,000 of
Its $10,000,000, and Sweden
"only a little" of Its $15,000.-i
000. 1
Pierson and Jesse H. Jonesj
federal loan ' administrator, said;
they would have to wait until
President Roosevelt stated this
government's position on ' the in
vasion of Denmark and Sweden
before determining what il any
thing, is done about continuance
of these ; Scandinavian credits.
