Our Greeting to You! .
THE world is merging. Peoples are drawing together in interests
and activity. Business is discovering the economy of united
action, v
- One of the developments that prove this fact is the growth of
chain store organizations throughout the United States and the
world. The independent retail store owner has been faced with
problems such as have never before in the history of merchandis
ing confronted him.
But the independent retailer has been telling his customers all
these years that he is progressive, operating on sound business
principles .and ready to employ every modern device that will save
money for the people with whom he does business.
: Yet he has been seriously handicapped in the last few years by
the activities of the corporations that have been buying up great
chains of stores and, through the great buying power they can ex
ercise, cutting prices to a point where the little buyer could not
compete.
Now, however, a great group of progressive Oregon retail gro
cerymen have solved the problem. They have pooled their interests
for buying and have associated
buying organization. This gives
United PURITY Stores organization is one of the largest buying
powers in the grocery business on the Pacific coast.
Nevertheless, your grocer remains strictly independent. He
owns his own store. He selects his own merchandise. He deals
with you on exactly the same up-to-date basis that you have en
joyed in the past. Nothing is changed xcept, perhaps, the paint
on his store and its interior arrangement plus this great buying
power with whfch he has allied.
If you have enjoyed delivery service and credit privileges at
his store heretofore, you rtiay continue on just that same basis, no
doubt. If you have found on his shelves the particular brands you
like most, you will continue to find him ready and happy to serve
you in the same courteous, careful, manner. - , .
But back of your friend, the grocer, now stands a vast orsrani
zation created by your grocer and
him to go into the market places of
oi loodstims you want and to sell them to you at a price you have
a right to expect to pay for first quality merchandise.
Your grocer has allied himself with this organization so that
he can buy in competition with the great corporations that, be
cause of this very buying power, have been able to sell formless.
Now the tables are turned, and no grocer can undersell your
United PURITY Store.
i Your grocer has employed the most experienced grocery buy
ers, men who, by reason of their long experience, know what you
wan and what you wish to pay for what you want. They have
the capacity now to buy in carload lots and sometimes even in
trainload lots at great savings. Every nickel of these savings
can be passed on to the consumer.
You know, of course, that several hundreds of stores can buy
more cheaply than one "or a dozen stores. You know that you can
buy a case of canned goods relatively cheaper than you can buy
ntfcan. It is on this same principle that United PURITY Stores
are operating. They are buying In enormous quantities for a great
number of stores and are saving hundreds of dollars for the mem
ber stores and for the customers of each United PURITY Store.
Remember: This great-buying power brings the saving right
Into your own pocketbook. "' , v
Remember: Your United PURITY Store still is your own
handy, friendly grocer, hot some great corporation doing business
many miles away. The United PURITY Store you patronize is
owned, usually, by the man who operates it; the man who lives in
your community and pays taxes in your city or county and state.
In fact, to all the good old friends of each of these fine stores,
and to all the new friends who are going to come to these stores
for the savings that will be offered them, we want to say again
that:
United PURITY Stores are YOUR stores!
We will welcome you in any one of the United PURITY Stores
And we will be happy to have you as a reader for United PURITY
News. .
, We hope to make this little weekly newspaper a welcome visi
tor in your home a visitor that will be entertaining and, per
haps, instructive, to every member of the family.
At least, we can assure you, your careful attention to United
PURITY News each week will be the means-of saving money for
you. .

'! Until about fifty ' years ago chick

this time It was discovered that ad

next President from among the Demo

comparable to that which prevailed In
that strange, turbulent fourth Ameri
can election of 1800 la which Thomas
Jefferson finally was seated In - the
President's chair largely through the
neraonal efforts of his most bitter po
litical antagonist, Alexander Hamil
ton.
Federalist psrty fortunes under four
vears of President John , Adams naa
fallen low. In opposition, Jeffersonlsn
Republicans (forerunners of modern
Democrats) presented such ,a - solid
front that George Washington, then In
retirement, despairingly exclaimed 1
"Let that party set up a broomstick,
and call It a true son of liberty a
democrat or give it any other epithet
that will euit their purpose, ana 11 wui
command their votee In toto,"
Federalists tried to draft Washing
ton 'himself for a third term; but the
"Father of Ills Country" died suddenly
in December, 1709, probably before
these overtures reached him In the
dosL
Federalists then resigned themselves
to making another campaign with
President Adams. Early in 1800 a
caucus of Federalist congressmen se
lected the President as their candidate
to succeed himself, with Charles OL
PInckney of South Carolina as his
running-mate.
Jeffersonlan congressmen. In a simi
lar caucus, picked the' sage of Monti
cello to head their ticket, with Aaron
Burr of New York for vice president.
The factional rift In the Federalist
ranks at once burst open wide. Alex
ander Hamilton, powerful boss of the
anti-Adams Federalists, Issued a vin
dictive letter criticising Adsms as Jeal
ous, egotistical. Ill-tempered, arbitrary.
This pamphlet, designed for quiet cir
culation only among a few of Hamil
ton's Federalist friends, promptly fell
Into the hands of the crafty Colonel
Burr. Be sent copies abroad among
Jeffersonlsn newspapers, which print
ed them In high glee. "Alexander
Pamphlet" became a Republican nick
name for the discomfited Hamilton,
while furious Adam pamphleteers set
to work to refute Ida criticisms.
Jefferson, for bis part, as in the
campaign of 1800, had to sustain much
personal abuse, largely on the score
of his free thinking la religious mst
ters. As election returns from the states
trickled rlowly In, It wss apparent that
the Federalists were beaten. Repub
lican elation knew no bounds. Church
bells burst under too vigorous ringing.
Federalists were facetiously threaten
ed with a raise In the price of shaves
st the barber shops because their faces
bad become so long.
But elation soon gave way to per
plexities with realization that, under
the old system of voting, Jefferson and
Burr had received a tie vote of 78
each. Slxty-flre votes went to Adams,
04 to PInckney, one to John Jsy.
This, of course, meant that the
choice between Jefferson snd Burr for
the Presidency would be thrown Into
the lower house of congress. And there
Federalists, not Republicans, con
trolled a majority of the stste votes!
The house of representatives, with
exception of one sick member, mus
tered a run attendance ror the deci
sive treat Another sick member had
himself carried Into the Capitol In his
bed rather than miss participating In
the voting.
On the first vote, taken by ststes
on February 11, 1801, eight of the
sixteen ststes were found to be for
Jefferson six for Burr, and two, Ter
mont and Maryland, divided giving
neither candidate a majority. 'These
results being steadily maintained, con
gressmen sent, out for pillows and
nightcaps and snoozed In their seats
or on the floor, between the successive
ballots which were taken at Intervals
all through the night.
At the prospect thst Burr might be
chosen President, none wss more
aghast than Hamilton who later was
to die by Burr's band la a duel. Ham
ilton hated Jefferson, but more be dis
trusted the wily manipulator from bis
own state. 80 he did all In bis power,
snd with considerable effect, to In
duce bla Federalist friends to cause
Burr's defeat.
Finally on the thirty-sixth ballot,
taken February 17, one Federalist
from Vermont, by prearrangement,
absented himself, two from Maryland
dropped In blank votes, and these
ststes, which . bad been divided on
previous ballots, cast their choices for
Jefferson,, giving him 10 votes to
Burr's 6. -
Hamilton bad succeeded In electing
bis principal political adversary. Re
publicans derisively gave the toast,
"Alexander Hamilton ; few men have
done more to promote the election of
Thomas Jefferson. The devil should
have hla due."
But "Jefferson, the liammoth of
Democracy." was the more popular
toast drunk In the taverns, and Jubila

acclaimed their victory waxed so en
thusiastic that a t Philadelphia Fed

Faunce had been eadmlrable all
