B. Horner, who, since January 1, 1910, more than 19 years, has served, a large and growing community at Gates, Ore., has the proud distinc tion of holding contract No. 1 with the United Purity Btores. We want to congratulate the people of Gates in having as their leading merchant a man broad enough to visualize the enormous possibilities of fered by this general merger of Independent Oregon gro ceries into the great United Purity Stores organization. Mr. Horner, who for more than 20 years has conducted a general store, has seen more than half a dozen competitors come and go. The facts in his case are that a great deal of credit is due not only tp his enterprise in maintaining an excellent store at all times, but to his able assistant, Mrs. Homer and a trusted chief clerk who continuously wears a sombrero hat. Always On the Job The'se aides are constantly on the job while Mr. Horner enjoys some of the fruits of his long years of activity by doing his daily dozen on the North Santiam, so well known for its good trout fishing. The thousands who read this interesting news item will want to become personally ac quainted with this fly-hook artist. ' Acquaintanceship may, in fact, lead to an en joyable trip. Motor up to that beautiful mountain spot where Mr. and Mrs. Horner have spent so many happy years. Stop at the corner store, at the big gas pump, and meet these wonderfully fine people. If, perchance, your fishing equipment is not the kind to entice the wily trout, Mr. Horner will recommend just the right lure to suit the par ticular season. Not only that, but we know he will be'only too glad to direct you to the place where he caught his last 18-inch speckled beauty.

JO Be BIG AIRSHIP WILL BE READY IN MARCH Britain's Latest Craft to Fly Atlantic London. Trial flights of the R-100, the gigantic airship now being con structed under the auspices of the British air ministry for the purpose of flying the Atlantic, will not be made until March, 1929, according to Information given, at the headquarters of Commander C D. Burney, who will lead the expedition. Although Commander Burney has been pushing his plans with all pos sible speed, there have been several delays as the result1 of manufacturers requiring extra time to supply parts for the mammoth air liner. It Is pointed out, however, that the predic tion of trial flights by March Is a con servative one and that It Is possible the Intervening period will be cut down. x Meanwhile considerable speculation reigns as to who will comprise the passenger list of the ship on its great flight from England to Canada and thence to New York. While the Brit ish air ministry nominally Is In charge of the flight, It is known that Com mander Burney will be permitted to select practically the entire crew, as well as determine who will be carried as passengers In addition to the air ministry's representatives. 'Requests for permission to accom pany the commander on his flight bare been pouring In from all parts of Europe as well aa America, but It la declared that no final selections have aa yet been made.

The Badger Gamer Keen Interest of Housewives Greets Big Grocery Merger From All Parts of Willamette Valley Come Complimentary Remarks About Service and Prices Offered by United Purity Stores; Members Remain Independent in Ownership The intense interest of housewives throughout the Wil lamette valley greeted the first issue of United PURITY News, distributed to some 25,000 homes last week. Not only have many voluntary expressions of apprecia tion of the first issue of an entertaining new newspaper vis itor been received at the office for publication, but scores have volunteered their congratulations to the general office and to individual members for the enterprise shown in band ing together the valley's leading grocers into the United PURITY Stores. The first apparent effect of this great merger of inde pendently owned stores was, of course, the decidedly reduced prices which it was possible to make on standard foodstuffs products. This is due to the huge buying power of the new organization. But beyond the mere matter of prices is the improve ment in many of the valley's leading stores by reason of the more uniform and standardized methods of merchandising made possible through the organization. This will include, as soon as workmen can get at it, the physical improvement of the stores themselves. Changes in Stores Planned These, in all cases, will soon have a uniform color scheme of attractive blue and white for the exterior. Interior ar rangement of stores in some cases will be changed to permit of greater display facilities and more modern practices. Grocer members of the new organization have reported every day within the last week the fine response they re ceived from their customers after joining this organization. These customers have never before been able to enjoy such savings in grocery items. These savings apply to standard brands and highest qualities of merchandise. Theyare made possible entirely by the fact that the neighborhood grocers of the Willamette valley are now in a position to unite for buying and thus they buy for much less than they could possibly do as individuals. They can invade the great markets for group buying and can buy in huge quantities direct from the manufacturers of the nation's finest foodstuffs. Huge Buying Power Gained The Willamette Grocery Co., of Salem acts as a clearing house for the United PURITY Stores and distributes to the many members stores in the organization. Where it was possible before to buy only in small quantities, your local merchant may now share in the price advantages to be gained from buying in carload and, oftentimes, trainload lots. These savings he can pass on to you as a customer. Yet, at the tame time, he is the same independent, progressive, con structive merchant he has always been. His store has riot been absorbed by some great power trying. to crush the in dependent owner or to gobble all the foodstuffs business and thus gain enormous profits for himself. Your own merchant joins in the request that you read of the extraordinary bargains he has assembled for you thli week as shown on the two inside pages of this issue of Unit ed PURITY News. These bargains show very definitely how you can save money in buying from the United PURITY Store nearest your home. Chilean Hotel Workers Campaign Against Tips Santiago. Chile. Hotel employees here are campaigning to dp away with tips, as being "prejudicial to their In terests and bothersome to their clients."
