ALBANY MERCHANTS
ARE NOT 'PIKERS'
" In fairness to the Albany
mcicuauis me t-euanoii n
tenoii snouid puousu an ex
planation as a ic&uit 01 an tu
torial wnica acai s at last
weens issue, me criterion
goes into a- tit oi luiy oc
cause tne Democrat calieu
tne attention 01 Aioany mer
cnanis to tne scnemes 01
Portland department stores 10
get up-state money into tneir
treasuries by onering to pay
railroad tares to Portland pro-
viaea tne up-state patrons
. tought ten tunes as much
goous as their tares amounted
to.
The Democrat wishes to be
clearly understood in stating
that it was solely responsible
for the article. No merchant
in Albany uttered a word ot
protest. No one said the
scheme was not a good one it
Portland stores could 'put .it
across,' to use the vernacular.
But the Democrat did read
the Portland ads and felt that
something should be done to
stop the How of Linn county
dollars to the metropolis. It
uttered two protests and call
ed the attention of Albany
shoppers to their duty to
trade at home. What effect
this had is uncertain, but thus
far we have heard of no local
people who took advantage of
the offer. If they did they
should be shamed to return to
Albany and ask other local
people to support them with
their trade or by paying them
salaries or wages.
We are surprised that Bro.
DePew did not get our point
that by properly advertis
ing their goods and wares in
the local papers and letting
the people of Linn county
know what they have, there
would be no excuse for peo
ple going to Portland to trade.
If Albany merchants attract
Lebanon and other Linn
county patrons it is because a
few of them have pep enough
to reach out for this trade and
through the newspapers and
otherwise convince them that
they can and do get big values
here;
Lebanon merchants can do
the same thing through their
own papers. A careful look
through the Criterion fails to
disclose one merchant offer
ing his goods to the public.
One progressive firm boosts a
corn planter; Mr. Robinson,
a progressive barber, is ask
ing the people for their trade;
a pressing establishment urg
es its line, an uptodate jewel
er is pushing kodaks, but
there is not one word or price
quotation about drygoods ,
suits, and other things dear to
the heart of woman. Lebanon
merchants aio overlooking a!
big bet in not having a good, '
live, snappy ad in every issue
of the Criterion and Express. I
With the amount of advertis
ing in this week's issue of the
Criterion we fail to see how
Bro. DePew can pay labor'
and paper bills, and still put
out such a fine paper. Per
haps this is what is eating on
our contemporary trom the
strawberry city, and the in
jection ot a little 'trade at
home' dope into his system
will effect a cure.
A BLIND BARBER
One of the blind men in
whom Sir Arthur Pearson is
interested, was a barber be
fore he went 40 war and lcjt
his sight. After he returned
to his home, he longed to re
sume his old occupation. A
man was found who willingly
consented to being experi
mented upon by a blind bar
ber, and the result justified
his faith. The blind man
shaved him without a scratch.
and now has a better business
than he had before he went to
war. Me is said to do nis
work with accuracy and del-
icasy unknown in most prac
titioners of his trade.
The incident may not be
important, but it is interesting
as illustrating the growng
confidence of the blind in
their own ability, and the
kindness of the public which
would cheerfully risk its neck
to help a blind soldier.
