THESE ARE UNUSUAL TIMES . for THE MERCHANT . . . for THE
CUSTOMERS ... they tell us this is the "sellers market" . '. . meaning that
there are more buyers than merchandise. They tell us also that people who
have9 things to sell need not be as kind and helpful: as they used to be in
normal times . . and frequently we hear that some stores take very little in
terest in their customers. !
v Maybe we're old fashioned . . but as long as there is a Bishop's store, you
will teceive the : same helpful, courteous service, ias well as' the same fine
Bishop quality and outstanding values as during our past fifty-two years of
service to the people of Salem andrOregon, .... that goes in war . . . or in
peace ... in a "buyer's or a seller's market." ; .
Why not stop in and see for yourself? Our salesmen and other-store em
ployees share our desire to serve you.' ! . j .
