Largest Mill in the West VERNONIA EAGLE EAGLE FEATHERS Skaggs United Stores No. 225 VERNONIA, OREGON The difference between what the producer gets for his product and what the consumer pays for it has unquestionably been too great. In spite of that fact, you see very few retailers getting rich. Waste accounts for *t. The cost of doing business in the average, individually operated store is too high. SKAGGS’ STORES system is doing much to eliminate that waste. Here is just one saving. In 100 average stores there would be 100 buyers. For the more than 100 SKAGGS STORES there 5 buyers—one-twentieth the buying expense! We make many other savings proportionately as important, and our patrons get the benefit.

These deputies used to follow the smell of roasting coffee to seek out those who did not have permits.
