H. L. Summerfleld', vice-president
of the coast-wide Food Buyers' as
sociation, came to Medford a week
ago from the Oakland, California head
offices to personally supervise plans
for the Western States Grocery com
pany's food show. Under his direction
the new wholesale house on South Fir
and Eleventh streets has been trans-
formed Into an unusually effective
show place making an Ideal setting
for the artistic displays which are be
ing Installed.
Last fall was the beginning of the
Food Buyers' association in southern
Oregon, the first members signed
were at Marshfleld. This organization
is primarily designed to give the in
dependent grocer an opportunity to
purchase his stock at lower cost and
Improve his business through con
sistent advertising programs and mer
chandising methods which have prov
ed successful, according to Mr. Summerfleld.
Since the founding of the Fod
Buyers' association last fall undrr the
sponsorship of the Western States
Orocery company, membership has
grown to over 3500 stores on the Pa
cific coast. Savings to the Individual
grocers In the organisation Include
reduced coat for office equipment
and fixtures In addition to the other
major benefits,, Mr. Summerfleld
pointed out.
Mr. Summerfleld has been ldentl
fled with the retail and wholesale
grocery business over long period
of years, and la well-known on the
Pacific coast for his work In behalf
of Independent grocers. Many of nla
sales promotion and advertising pro
grams have been copied throughout
the country. "During the food show
I hope to meet many of the southern
Oregon grocers and other valley resi
dents. I am confident of the success
ful future of our new Medford plant,"
Mr. Summerfleld stated, and he is
very enthusiastic as to what he will
be able to offer the retail grocers of
Oregon through the Food Buyers As
sociation, now that Western States
have nine wholesale houses In Ore

than Marcantonlo, although they have
yet to meet the floor of a patrol wag
on face to face, as he did.
For example, Ohio congressmen
have been plagued with complaints
that unskilled workers get 55 a
month in Cleveland, 60 In Detroit
and CS7.S0 in the comparatively email
city of Mew Castle, Pa.
The workers are organizing and de
scending on their congressmen, de
manding what they call "equal treat
ment." Authorities on that subject have
long suspected no complaint-proof

terestlng contentions as more or less ,
unofficially representing hit current i
personal viewpoint: j
The federal reserve board will not
be as effective In Influencing price
levels as Chairman Ecclea thinks It
can be. j
A continuation of present admlnls- 1
tratlon policies will Inevitably lead
to a further cheapening of the dol
lar. The only thing whleh has been ef
fective in bringing about a better re
lationship between basic commodity
prices and administratively fixed
prices was raising the price of gold.
But before consideration Is given to
raising the price of gold further, ,
some automatically operating formula
should be passed by congress and
given to some responsible body to
administer which will be effective In
lowering the price of gold as well as j
In raising It. .
This Is essentially the commodity
dollar basis. Warren's friends con
tend It would not be Inflationary, but
reflatlonary. It la not being consid
ered seriously in Washington now.
The new dealers have chosen a dif
ferent course, for the present at least.
Warren's remaining personal con
tacts within the administration, how
ever, have deep respect for his price
views. Representatives of certain large
corporations and banks secretly slip
up to Ithaca from time to time to get
his line on prices.
The original money man of the
new deal was Prof. Farren of Cornell,
who rarely speaks In public. Some of
his friends who are In a position to
understand his slant on money, how

The best house cloakroom laugh of
the week was that of the new deal
ers at the expense of a Pennsylvania
republican congressman who runs a
shoe factory. He Is one of the severest
critics of the administration, but his
factory recently sent out a letter say
ing Us business Is the best in history.
The republican can see no Joke in
that. He contends business is better
In spite of the new deal, but that has
not diminished the merriment.
Downtown apartment dwellers have
heard that the new deal is going to
take over more of their buildings.
The war department has already tak
en one. A somewhat panicky rent sit
uation has thus been caused by ex
panding government departments.
