V ( in! j " The Pay Less Drugs Northwest, Inc. chain was founded a generation ago by Peyton Hawes, formerly of Spokane, with a drug store in downtown Portland. Eventually, the store's type of merchandising was capable of in cluding a broader base of goods, and so stores now offer a wider range of items to meet needs for the home, out door activities, sporting goods and recreation purposes. The Portland-based chain, in which the Hermiston store is the 81st, conducts considerable research before it commits more than a million dollars in starting a new store. Hermiston's economical climate has made the addition of its new Pay Less store possible. Pay Less likes to iocate stores in shopping centers wnere it can be a part of a ' one-stop shopping experience ', as one store manager puts it. A customer shopping with Pay Less in a shopping center can fill the rest of his or her needs without driving to another location. Pay Less stocks only top grade name brands, and offers lines that will meet many of the customers' needs. The store also carefully selects employees and trains them to establish a personal relationship with the customer. Today the president of Pay Less Drug Stores Northwest, Inc., is a registered pharmacist, as are numerous store managers throughout the 81 -store chain.' Among the many services offered by the Pay Less pharmacy are the hours (open evenings and Sundays) which makes the fulfillment of prescriptions a little more convenient for customers who may have to work late or for other reasons can't make it to the store during the daytime hours. For those customers interested in additional savings, Pay Less offers a full line of fresh generic drugs. In ad dition, the Pay Less pharmacy is eager to serve any customer who may be covered by Public Assistance or in surance plans. Customers who need any kind of assistance or information need simply to contact the Payless pharmacist.
