Bend Booster Special BootCer Day SATURDAY October 23 TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE BOOSTER DAY SPECIAL PRICES WHAT BOOSTER DAY MEANS TO BUYER Merchandise Priced at Cost and Less in Merchant As sociation Member Stores During tho past two yoars tho na tion has soon a generat wavo of wise Investing. Never boforo In tho his tory of tho country has there been such a universal disposition to put money Into something that would guarantco roturns or help to curb tho extreme high cost of living. Tho condition of under production, scarcity ot labor and an Increased do mand for every manufactured prod uct forcod prices to a level nover reached in such a general way before There havo been times when some products have been high In price, each In Its turn, and each adjusting itself without causing a material change in tho modes and methods of buying and without affecting the dis position ot the public at large. But the present period of high prices has been so universal In affecting every thing bought by the Jobber, retail merchant and consumer alike that It ihas affected a complete change In the buying markets. The buyer, whether a retail mer chant or a consumer, has accustomed himself to buy only what he thinks Is reasonablypriced or what will direct ly and quickly reimburse him. This fact has been more conspicuous among the consumers than among other buyers. This season, in all Unet of manu factured products, a decided increase in quality has been noticeable. In this way prices have been substan tially reduced, but to date few ot the commodities most In demand have reflected a price decline. SJnce the organization of the Bend Merchants' association the problem ot how to sell merchandise at the very lowest price has been the prin cipal consideration. To aid In this endeavor. Booster day was origi nated. Each member of the associa tion prices at least one article, and not more than three, at cost, and, in many Instances, less than cost, and otters these articles for salo on a set day of each raonth-r-Bond Booster day. With tho bargains ot each store combined in ono great salo comes the possibility to save on many need ed articles, and those who nro taking advantage ot tho big bargain day nro to a great oxtent beating tho high cost of living.

Two boys were, selling oranges In Minneapolis In 1884. One was get ting ID cents for two oranges, tho other was selling his three for 10 conts. Toward evening the two-for- a-dlme orange peddler had to attend to an errand and told his compctl tor: "I've got 30 oranges In my basket, and you have 30 In yours. Mix 'cm up and sell them five for 20 cents.1 When the oranges wero sold, the boy found he had $2.40, but he only gave the other lad $1.40 when ho re turned. This young merchant claimed he had $1.50 coming, as he had consigned 30 oranges at two for 10 cents. It was pointed out to him, though, that by selling at tlvo .for 20 cents there was a loss of 10 cents In the transaction. Who should lose the dime, and where did it disappear? Address yonr answer to Editor Bend Booster, carp Bend Bulletin, Bend, Ore. The person having tho correct answer will be notified through the Booster ot next month. BUFFALO, N. V., Oct. 21. De claring that It's n big mlstoko for manufacturers ot women's nppnrel and millinery to produce so many styles ot gnrmontn and hats, Mlas Eleanor Gilbert ot Now York, export on tho probloms ot womon's npparol, advocated stamlardliatlon ot stylo , advocated standardization ot stylo and price In womon's linos, In ad dressing a mooting of morchnnts and advertising men. 'Women today nro unnblo to toll whether or not they uro getting tholr money's worth whou purchas ing suits, d reuses, millinery or other Items ot fomlntno npparol," said Miss Gilbert.

She de clared that manufacturers ot men's clothing, hats, caps, etc., havo tho right Idea ot fashions. Miss Qllbert said that, 'although manufacturers ot men's appnrol change tho styles from season to Bea- ton, tho garmonts aro so standard ized that production costs aro low ered and quantity production Is keynote ot tho factories. Sho point ed out that In women's apparel man ufacturers only mako n few garmonts of each stylo or design. This, sho contends, adds to tho cost. Tho advertising men were warned that women shoppers no longer caro to havo tholr Intolllgonco Insulted by advertisements containing sonsclcss exaggeration. "For years," sho said, "tho favor- llo sport ot (ho women nt tho conn try was trying to conceal (holr rent thought from men, ami It only tins Imon recontly thai conditions havo changed. Wo in on should iu longer bo treated ns children, and women havo n considerable degree of Intel ligence. ' "Somo ot tho men who havo mndo this discovery nro those who havo carried wild, unbollevablo tnles In advertising directed to women, In tho publicity tor articles, purchased almost exclusively by women, a lot ot silly advertising Is being dono.
