A Skaggs Store manager is vitally interes­
ted in pleasing his customers. He virtually
owns his store in so far as reaping the re­
wards of his work is concerned. Yet he
has back of him the tremendous volume­
buying power of 300 stores. Every Skaggs
man is chosen for his ability, intelligence
and “humanness.” These high-type men
are attracted to the Skaggs organization

with it the privilege of sharing in profits and the right of self-expression in
submitting ideas for better service. Get acquainted with your nearest Skaggs
