6 New Year 1912 Greater Salem and Western Oregon Development Edition Daily Capital Jeurnal Saturday, December 30 SALEM WOOLEN MILLS SUCCESSFUL INDUSTRY FOR THREE GENERATIONS The Thomas Kay woolen mills are the successors ot one of the oldest Industries in the Willamette valley. Several generations of the Kay fam ily have devoted their lives to woolen maunfacture. Thomas Kay, Sr., who built the Salem mills also established and conducted woolen mills at Brownsville, and other places. The natural combination of climate, wa terpower and production of raw ma terial make the Willamette valley a splendid location for this Industry. The Salem woolen mills, under the management of Thomas B. Kay, the present state treasurer of Oregon, have enjoyed almosUconstant growth and prosperity. Mr. Kay personally buys the various grades of wool that are worked np In his plant In Salem and another woolen mill at Eugene. The products of these mills have a large sale In Oregon; but by far the greatest amount of the blankets, suit ings for men and women, shawls and robes are shipped to New York and San Franicsco and other large distrib uting centers. A large quantity of men's and women's clothing are man ufactured from the Salem woolen mills products and sold In large re tail establishments at Salem, Port land, Grants Pass and other cities in Oregon. The demand for "Made in Oregon" products from the Oregon woolen mills Is steadily increasing. It Is the pride of the men and women In Oregon to be dressed and to sleep under bedding made In Oregon mills and grown on the backs of Oregon sheep. This feeling and this pride in state industries has always been fos tered by Mr. Kay and he is ' one of the staunchest advocates and best liv ing examples of the successful Oregon Industry. THE NEW TOGGERY STORE RECENTLY INCORPORATED IS ONE OF THE MOST MODERN SHOPS IN THE WEST OREATLY ENLARGED FLOOR AND SHOW WINDOW SPACE PUBLICITY THAT IS EFECTIVE. The completion of the new Toggery Shop at the close of 1911 marks a mercantile event in this city which demonstrates a remarkable growth due to progressive methods In retail ing. The Toggery firm, which was re cently Incorporated, is in charge of Dave R. Yantis and Al. R. Hurst. Hoth men are well known In the mercantile life of the Capital City. The modern ideas utilized In the ar rangement of this Ideal shopping place were gleaned from various sources during Mr. Hurst's five years' employ ment as store equipment and fixture editor with the Root Newspaper Asso ciation of St. Louis. These were worked out In detail by 'Architect Geo. M. Post, with construction work placed by Wechter & Wood. . Every detail was carefully consid ered from the standpoint of efficiency nnd better service to the customer. This combination of modern ideas complete a store which Is conceded by traveling moji and others, who are competent Judges, as one of the most modern In the entire West. The Modern Ideas. A synopsis of the modern const ruc tion IdeaB in which the store differs are as follows: First, the show window glass Is set In brass metal bar strips, this prevents the windows from frosting and sweat Jng by a ventilating process, thereby eliminating an evil which often ren ders displays uscleBj In cold weather. The vestibule Is of tile, with the Btore name and monogram worked out in contrasting colors. This decora tive scheme, harmonizing with the. win dow base, which is of beautiful Ped rora onyx In brown veins. This onyx is mined In lower California. Two chipped Jewel electric signs set at the top of the window glass con struction are used on either side of the veBtlhule entrance, the upper por tion of the front is equipped with a prism light construction to transmit dayllptit Into the Interior. The Window Ilurkirround. The window background is arranged in leaded glass and wooden panels, which are detachable, permitting un limited decorative treatment, as well as affording access to any portion of the display without disturbing the re mainder. This is an item of great im portance, as much merchandise at the present time is sold through the Bhow windows. The celling of the window Is of chip ped glass instead of wood as Is usu ally employed. This scheme gives more daylight with the veutlbule and tack portion of the window, as well as a more decorative high-class finish. Receding Awning. Another modern Idea, which is the first of its kind on the coast, Is the re ceding awning. This is unique, In the fact that It is operated f-om the inte rior of the store, and the cloth roll, which is protected from the weather by a wooden canopy, is all that Is seen from the exterior vlvew of the build ing, thereby eliminating all unsightly rpds, which often mar the appearance of an otherwise modern front. This awning may be let down to any length desired and the close Is always taut. The Interior. Many Improvements of a modern na ture have been installed in the Interi or of this high-class shop, namely: liberal use of mirrors, counter cases, lavatory, bulcony with skylight, base ment for reserve stock, also enlarging the cleaning and pressing department, where the Hoffman steam pressing machine Is used, the only one of its kind In the city. This store now runs from Commercial street to the alley, ocupylng a total floor space of 4266 square feet. This firm now employs the services of nine men, not counting the Toggery Bird, which Is worthy of mention, in the fact that this publicity stunt, which has been used lesB than 12 weeks, Is known to practically every man, woman and child in Salem and vicinity. HIb cut Is used In the news naners, show cards, picture slides, in fact every kind of publicity employed by the Toggery. This gives publicity which Is effective. In the fact that It Is different. 7T v ' .' ' ' .
