Personal service is the greates. factor in the world that is found back of a strong selling force and it seems to be the thing today that is makinfc for success in business. Take an) of the nationally advertised goods They are handled through a local rep resentative in every city, town ana village in the country. They are goods that have an iron clad guaran tee and the local salesman has at his back the manufacturer of those goods to make that guarantee gooa to the purchaser. Hence the man who is buying at home, no mattei what he buys, is dealing with the agent direct and that agent, in ordei to give absolute satisfaction, is de termined to hive a satisfied custom' er. Take the woman who sent to a mail order house for some dress goods and a pair of shoes. She founo after receiving the order that there was not quite enough of the goods for her dress and the shoes didn't fit. A party was on in a few days and she simply had to have the dress but did n't have time to send in a sample to match for enough more of the goods to make the dress. How easy ii would have been for the lady if she had been buying the dress at home. You say such things don't happen often, but how about the man who bought a piece of machinery from a mail order "house and later, when he needed an extra for repairs, founo that his M. 0. H. did not have tht piece in stock and that the man would have to wait an indefinite per iod until it could be received from the factory. What a difference ht would have found had he bought a standard machine from his own home town merchant. And the conven ience of dealing with the agent di rectly on the ground would have meant more to this man than all the difference in cost, if there had been any difference. Yet on standard made nationally advertised goods the price is the same the country over. Personal service is something o. rare value to the man or woman whe is buying goods and that is just the service you receive when you folio the plan of buying at home. Did you know that the total bank ing resources of Morrow county are over two million dollars and that the four banks of the county carry de posits of over one million six hun dred ihousand dollars? Put a two-million-dollar wheat crop on top oj this and you will have a pretty good idea of the sound financial condition which exists here... Then did you ever stop and think that there are- several thousand dollars, yes hun dreds of thousands of dollars laid away in strong boxes in the form of Liberty bonds and war saving stamps, 1-5 THE AMERICAN LEGION. Through Dr. Harold Bean of this city The Gazette-Times has for dis tribution a number of copies of the American Legion Weekly, the official publication of The American Legion. Soldiers, sailors and ex-service men may have one of these copies by call ing for the same. The first edition of The American Legion Weekly, in the words of its editor, "is born on this one hundred and forty-third anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Inde pendence. Appropriately so. The principles and ideals of the epochal document in human liberty are those of The American Legion, which The American Legion Weekly represents. "The Legion itself is a spontane our expression of purpose by those millions of Americans who helped crush autocracy. Out of their com mon experiences through the "dark months of the war has grown a com radeship and a patriotism which is vitalized by their organization into this single concrete force which will stand always as a barrier against the forces of greed, ignorance and chaos." "The American Legion is the epit ome of that Americanism for which it stands. Its voice is the majority voice of its members; its will the will of many. Spontaneous in inception, it has been democratic in its develop ment. There are no titles recorded on its rolls, it is free of rank, of cast and of partisanship. If it seeks in i full measure to serve those who .ere in service, it seeks in fuller .teasure to serve America." Ihis is the spirit with which the vmerican Legion has entered upon s misson, and if guided aright by ae men who will steer its destiny .irouh the future, then the Ameri an Legion will indeed be the one .reatest factor in building up a per ict Americanism in the Uniteu Jtates. There are many ex-service men ..ho will be interested in the Amer :an Legion. As the Grand Army ol ae Kepublic was to the men of '61 o will the American Legion be tc ae men who participated in the late ar. Here in Morrow county are reat many of these men. A pbst ol he Legion will probably be formec n Heppner. A post should bt ormed here and it is hoped tha .ome of the ex-soldier boys will take teps toward getting a charter. leppner Young People Left On Automobile Trip To Coast, Leaving Heppner last week In then ar, Misses Leta and Evelyn Hum hreys and Roland Humphreys start d on an extended motor trip to Port and and coast points.
