WHERE'S CECIL?
To the Editor of Heppner Gazette
Times:
I have read very carefully your
45th Anniversary Booster Edition
of the Heppner Gazette Times and
was very much impressed with all
I read and also took great pleasure
In looking over all the pictures of
so many places In your county
which show what fine boosters you
have among you. I had no idea that
Cecil had faded from Morrow coun
ty's map. In private I shed a few
bitter tears for Cecil; "with all thy
faults I love thee still." It may be
that some good Cecil booster has
devoted a, whole section to your
booster edition, and it has failed to
arrive with my paper. If so please
Bond me one dozen codes and I will
humbly apologize for what I have
written.
HnwftfT I cannot resist recalling
what I saw and knew to be correct
while living at Cecil and I believe
in giving "honor where honor Is
due " I can vouch for the following
notes and I expect even better re
ports have been going on every year
since. About six year ago as far
b T ran remember. 3501) tons 01 al
falfa were grown on land from
Cecil to the county line, and some
ixnti harf nf rattle were fed around
Cecil and shipped to the Portland
markets, and about 30,000 head of
ehoon were wintered at Cecil on the
various ranches, to say nothing of
the thousands of the earliest lambs
nihirh first saw davlieht at Sunnr
Coril and toDDed the market later
on for weight and price. Thousands
of pounds of wool were shipped
from Cecil. The best honey was
nrodueed from a Cecil ranch; also
nmiltrv and dairv Droducts. not for
getting the thousands of bushels of
vntvi wheAt which was raised on the
various hill ranches and shipped
from Cecil warehouse. Can you
wonder at me wondering why Cecil
was without a good Dooster.
Yours respectfully.

As the principles of conducting
most all lines of business, and es
pecially the merchandising business,
have materially cnangea curing uie
past few years, and in order to keep
pace with the trend of the times,
wo oro mmnelled to revise the pol
icy of our business, ana piace ii un
a basis which we Deneve win ue
beneficial to both our patrons and
rmrcnlvon
The old-time custom of extending
indefinite credit from the source of
tn the consumer is being
rapidly done away with, all the way
from the manuiacuirer 10 uie con
sumer. We are not going on a cash basis
and will extend credit to all whom
we deem worthy, on a basis of six
ty days' time with a discount of five
per cent for cash upon delivery of
goods, which Is equal lo imny per
cent per annum; or we will allow
two and one-half per cent discount
at the end of thirty days, which is
also equal to thirty per cent per an
num; or sixty days net If the ac
count remains unpaid at the end
of sixty days, an interest charge of
eight per cent per annum will be
added to the account every thirty
days thereafter. There will be no
interest charge on-any item unless
it shall have run for sixty days.
As stated above, the policy that
we will adopt will be beneficial both
to our patrons and ourselves; this
is shown by the discounts which we
will allow, whereby our customer's
money is earning for him a thirty
per cent per annum Interest rate,
nnH the mnnev we receive enables
us to replace our stock by buying
for cash and taking tne discount al
lowed us.
A customer who Is In the market
for one hundred dollars' worth of
merchandise, and does not have the
pAQttv rnftnev ran ea to his banker
and borrow the money at eight per
cent per annum and Duy nis mer
ohnnriisA which would be sold him
on sixty days' time and take a five
per cent discount, on tne money
which he borrows at eight per cent
per annum he will be making a net
saving of twenty-two per cent per
annum, while the banker who sup
plied the money would realize only
eight per cent for his money. You
may not, upon your first interpreta
tion of what we have said, realize
that It is nossible that such savings
might be made, yet they' can be. We
have given you facts wnereDy you

great savings that might be made

Indicated, we are in ousmess iu

and we are in position to offer you
standard merchandise at a price
that should command your favor,
and by fair dealing, courteous treat
