PERSONAL SERVICE.
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,

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.
