The announcement by the Oilden
Rule Mercantile company today of
their anniversary celebration this
month calls to tho attention of Med
ford and southern Oregon people the B
remarkable growth of that firm In this
section. Thjs growth has been noth
ing short of phenomenal and reflects
credit -for the sound business policies
and enterprise of C. W. Whillock and
C. A. WhlUock, the proprietors of the
Golden Rule stores. . Nine years ago
the first store was established in Med
ford. . Now the Golden Rule Mercan
tile company owns stores both Id this
city and Ashland, and on April 1st, will
open a store In Dunsmulr, California,
with A. L. Drown in charge. , -
In 1915. when the Golden Rule store
first opened. )n Medford, they boasted
8000 square feet of floor space. In
1917 this space was Increased to 5400
square feet. In 1920 the Golden Rule
company purchased the two story
building at the corner of Central street
and Sixth, which they now occupy,
and have jn use 2035G square feet of
floor space, 9000 square feet of this
being used In the stock and whole
sale departments, The Ashland Gold
en Rule store under tho management
of C. P. Evans, has 4950 square feet
of floor space devoted to sales rooms
while the new Dunsmulr store will
have 3500 square feet. The total floor
space used by .the Golden Rule storeB
under the supervision of C. V. and C.
A. Whillock aggregate 28.806 square
feet, more than nine times as much bb
the space used by the original store
in Medford nine years ago.
The Golden Rule chain of stores
were first established twenty-twa
years ago. It Is Interesting to know
that, with few exceptions, the mana
gers of the present line of stores came
from one town; llumansville. Mo.,
which was then the home town of the
Whillock family. Humansvtlle then
had a population of 1500 people. As an
outgrowth of this buslnesB enterprise
Sit busy stores now comprise the Gold
en Rule chain. . ,
The 89 stores In the Golden Rule
chain of stores are all closely asso
ciated In buying. Buying by these
stores Is combined and purchases are
made direct' 'from manufacturers
through committees for all lines of
merchandise. C. W. Whillock has been
in the east for the last several weeks
with other representatives of Golden
Rule stores - buying merchandise for
the coming season. Orders for mer
chandise placed by these 89 Btores to
tal several million dollars every year

McNary Would Rather
Coax Than Use Club
Senator McNary, of Oregon, whose
select committee of the senate has
been hiking around the country for
the last nine months collecting con
tradictory and Irreconcilable advice
reforestation bill. McNary merely
plans an extension of federal co-operation
with the state in devising re
gional forest policies that will have to
he sponsored by state laws. The fifty
fifty Federal appropriation Is to be
increased from J400.000 to about 12,-
500,000. This will be divided among
the states that adopt progressive poli
cies In regard to protection of forests
against fires. There are also provis
ions for the enlargement of the scope
of federal purchases of land for na
tional forests, authorizing the presi
dent to annex public domain to the
forests, and providing for the formu
lation of stnte laws' of forest tnxutlon
that will encourage owners to re
forest. McNary wants to coax the
lumbermen Into reforestation and riot
club them into It. His bill proposes
to tax them $5 a thousand feet on
their lumber output and then refund
4.86 of It if they are nice and docile
and manage their properties the way
the department of agriculture tells
them to. March Sunset.
