NEW STORE TO OPEN
W. F. Cary To Become
Estacada Merchant Again
On Saturday, November 18th.
W. F. 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.
