Cary, owner of the Ca/.a- dero Mercantile Company will again become an Estacada mer chant, having leased the J. W. Reed building, adjoining tin* News' office, on Broadway where he will open The Graliateria Cash Store. Mr. Cary, who up to a year or two ago, had been one of Esta- cada’s pioneer merchants, will conduct both his CazaHero store and the new Estacada business. The business, as the name im plies will lie onerated along the latest up-to-date merchandizing methods, with the expense of op eration minimum, t he sales cash and the profits quick but small on each individual purchase. This method of store operation is now in vogue in several local- ites. with a large store now con ducting a successful business in Portland on the same principles. In order to reduce the eost of op eration to a minimum, the new store will be open only between the hours of 9 A. M. and 4:30 P. 14., thus eliminating the exiiense of artificial lighting, doing away w i t h bookkeeping, deliveries, telephone and clerk expenses. The store’s stock will be a gen eral one, being increased as the business grows Under this style of merchandising, the patrons wait on themselves in the selec tion of the wares, paying for same on leaving the store. The business men anil people of Estacada and the residents of this community w ill welcome M1-. Cary back again, realizing that with the addition of his hustle, his pride in town and community and his genial disposition, the city will be the gainer and all wish him success.
