A PRICE WARNING
Warning against expecting too
much in the way of price reductions
is expressed by the Oregoninn in a
recent editorial of great value at the
present time. . Says the Oregonlan:
"Recent reductions in prices of sev
eral commodities have naturally
ralBed expectation in the minds of
' many people that prices will continue
to fall, and fall fast, but those whose
business commands them to see
clearly into the immediate future
ask what will be the effect of this
expectation and what there is to
justify it.
"The basic causes of falling prices
are that the world is getting back to
work, that production of some staple
commodities is nearer Hemand, that
the most urgent needs for recon
struction have been satisfied, and
that the people show signs of recov
ering from their spending spree. But
expectation of further fall in prices
may be carried farther than eco
nomic conditions warrant. Many
people may delay buying in the hope
' that waiting will enable them to buy
cheaper. By this course they may
force prices down without change in
the governing economic conditions.
But they may carry the policy of
bearing the market to the point
where they will cause unemployment
to the point where decreased pro
duction will raise cost, possibly to the
point where some employers will at
tempt to reduce wages. It behooves
us to consider how far the reduction
can be carried in the near future
without serious disruption of an in
dustrial machine, both in this ,and
other countries, which is already un
der a strain. Disaster might follow
a fall as rapid as the rise in prices
during the war.
"The Immediate future does not
promise to anywhere, near pre-war
figures of the materials of construc
tion, machinery and clothing. Though
we may expect large increase in pro
duction of food articles, their cost is
influence by that of other commodi
ties and by the high taxes which pre
vail everywhere. Price of food can
not fall below an amount sufficient
to meet these high costs and pay a
fair profit without checking produc
tion. Decline of prices is in a meas
ure psychological, as President Wil
son said of the depression of 1914,
and as was the case in a degree of
the war advance. .
"Unless the people regulate their
expectations by the governing condi
tions, which are not confined to this
country, but are worldwide, they may
produce other psychological effects
that will prove disastrous. Shrink
age in values is in progress. If it
. should be gradual, the attendant loss
can be absorbed out of war profits,
and no sound business will suffer.
If it should be hastened and forced
by artificial means by hopes that
are not justified by the facts it may
wreck many a business which might,
and should, survive, and those who
expect to profit would prove the
worst sufferers."
When a .heckler asked Candidate
Cox questions about President Wil
son, the answer came: "Wilson
isn't running for president this year.
Cox is running for president." And
now Cox is busy asking Taft a lot of
questions. Wonder if he thinks Taft
is this year's candidate.

PRICE AND QUALIW
Beware of misleading advertising! Some advertising says what it means but it does not mean what you think it sm'S.' Re
cently one of the country's largest mail order houses announced n great price reduction, which, if not carefully reasoned, would
appear very attractive. In the first place, while "Pigs Is Pigs" does not follow that "Goods Is Good." In this articfl, 'which
gives the appearance of a paid press agent of the mail order houses, not once have they mentioned the quality or clasi of mer
chandise that they have reduced. The article speaks of a reduction in the price of merchandise as a commodity. You 'know
and I know and so does every fair minded, thinking man and woman, that merchandise can not he spoken of or priced as a
commodity. Quality must be the first consideration. . I or any other merchant in the city can price a suit to you'tt $15.00, a
coat at $14.9S, a suit of underwear at $1.17, or a pair of stockings at 19c, but when you came to purchase it and saw tie quality
you would not wear it if it were given to you. Do you see the point? Do you want merchandise of a low grade? No!
You want quality as well as price... And that is just what you will get and what you have been getting if you purchased at
this store. In this advertisement and in each one hereafter we will give you prices of our merchandise. Merchandise that we
will stand behind with a guarantee to be in quality all that we say it is. And the prices mentioned will speak fur themselves.
