J. C. PEfJNEY COMPANY THE GOLDEN RULE
SHOES ARE BETTER AND COST LESS
Daring the past four months we have been supplying our patrons with Shoes at prices
far below the wholesale market price. Our early purchases and the great quantities
we use in all our stores has enabled us to do this. Had we been on a par with the
one-store merchant and bought shoes In small quantities we would have to pay the
prevailing market prices and would have been forced to raise our selling prices ac
cordingly. Fortunately wc new own and have in stoc more shoes than we ever hare
anticipated carrying. Just now when the prices of shoes are going sky high we could
raise our prices materially and still be under regular retail pilces the one-storo
merchant is compelled to a&ic. BaSg-c. ... -
But We Are Not Going To Do This. We Have Never Taken Ad
vantage of Our Patrons and We Are Not Going To Begin Now.
Wa wil take our legitimate profit and the savings between our low prices and the high prices you will have to pay elsewhere will go straight into
our patrons' pockets. It is true we have had to advfonce the price some but our advances are slight compared with the wholesale market would

DO YOU KNOW WHETHER YOUR CHILD HAS PERFECT
EYESIGHT?
A little chap of ten put on glasses for the first time in
our office the other day. He gazed around a moment and
then in a voice of wonder exclaimed, "Why mother I can
see," and his mother broke-down and wept.
Never in his life had this youngster seen correctly. He
had been backward in school and had been punished for
it. He had headaches and had swallowed many a bitter
dose unnecessarily. When he was nervous and irritable it
was attributed to "temper."
Of course his mother did not know, and he did not know
that it was all because his vision was only 50 perfect.
They found it out by accident, and now the mother blames
herself because she did not have his eyes examined long
agojust as regularly as she did his teeth and throat.
Perhaps you have a son or daughter who stands in need
of glasses. Perhaps you do not suspect it. If you are not
sure it is up to you to find it out. Do not handicap your
child by depriving him of perfect sight. Remember, al
most nine out of every ten children have imperfect sight.
Now is the time to act before it is too late.
I will make an examination free, and will not recom
mend glasses unless needed.
Perfect professional services and 34 years of experience
guarantee your absolute satisfaction. Our .charges are
moderate in the extreme.
No drops or drugs used as they are dangerous.

Te month of August was a fine
month for harvesting as every day was
sunshiny with only tree partially cloudy
The wind was from the north 26 days
and from the south five days. The aver
age maximum temperature was 86 and
the average iriinimum, "". The last mois
ture that has fallen in Salem was July
28 with an official record of .02 of an
inch, which is little more than a trace.
The last real rainfall was on June 30
with au official record of .22 of an

Monday being Labor Day the average
citizen will be called upon to change
the eustomary routine of life about as
follows: No banks open; postoffice gen
eral delivery and stamp window open
from 9 until 10 a. m.; Salem Public
library closed; state house and county
officials off on a vacation; business
houses but one morning delivery of
mail; barbers working until noon; stores
oo just as the proprietor thinks best:
several groceries to close at noon; mem
bers of labor unions do not work at all;
and everyone who can gvt away is get
ting away for two days. Very little
business will be transacted as when the
banks take a holiday, things rather
quiet down.
Some one once said that competition
is the lite ot trade. If this be true, there
will be considerable life in the bread
business of Salem beginning next Tues
day as the Haynes-Foster Baking com
pany ot Portland has made arrange

bread. One grocerymau this morning
said tne new rum was coining m on
account of the general complaint
rgainst the present conditions. , While
there will be competition among the big
bakeries who bake entirely by machine
it may be said that the home hand-made
product is still on the market giving
from 27 to 28 ounces for 13 cents in
two loaves.
