Why Golden Rule Stores Have Grown

Sixteen years ago we opened a small store in
Boise in room 60x28 with floor space of 1880
square feet. Today the Golden Rule in Boise oc-
cupies three with balcony total space of 16,
944 square feet, an increase of nearly 1000 square
feet for each year.
The Emmett Golden Rule Store occupies seven
thousand five hundred square feet of floor space.
You'll find Golden Rule Store identified with the
Boise store at Emmett, Caldwell Weser, Payette,
Midvale and the seventh store is opening this week
at Mountainhome.
We've tried to make these Golden Rule Store
true to their name. We want you to get fair and
square treatment in every transaction. No
transaction is complete until you are salts
fed. If you will give us the opportunity to make
right anything that you find wrong this willingness
to treat you fairly combined with certain principles
upon which this business has buided account for
Golden Rule success Just word about the princi-
pies underlying our business-the foundation stones
upon which we have builded
ONE PRICE-Not a new idea now, but quite
new and nearly untried sixteen years ago.
CASH TRANSACTIONS-No credit business
saves much in losses on bad accounts and losses in
excessive office work and collections. Paying cash
for merchandise enables to buy in any market and
under most favorable conditions.
MONEY BACK---Whenever any purchase is I'M
satisfactory you get your money back unless the
purchase is hair goods or brushes or few such
things, which cannot take back for sanitary

 Mrs. Pickens was assisted in hospitable office by Mrs. Meigs, who was attired

Miss Sinnott was gowned for travelling, her navy blue serge cos- tune being completed by a gray velvet picture hat faced with lace and showing a becoming introduction of rose pink with a large aigrette at the side. Her flowers were bride roses tied with cluster of white tulle.

MRS CAROLINE BARTLETT CRANE Who Will Birmingham No vember II the Chamber of Commerce

 The Smiths new home is four miles from Fayetteville, Tenn. The roads about it are smooth and beautiful. so that an automobile ride is fraught with comfort as well as pleasure; the roads connect with several nearby points of interest, so that the guests who will from time to time be included in Mir. and Mrs. Smiths household will number this among their pleasures. But the attrae- tions are more numerous than those or mere surroundings. for MT. and Mrs. Smith entertain with a lavish freedom and good humor that will make their hos pitality famous.
 A party of relatives composed the per sonnel of the guests who attended the house warming-a week in duration. They have just returned and paint glowing picture of the good old fashioned times they enjoyed. Mrs. John C.
