The growth of the Morey Mercan-
tile company's business in western
Colorado since the opening of its
branch house in this city is nothing
less than wonderful. A year ago its
stock carried In Grand Junction did
NOT exceed S. ,000. On May / 1t had
grogu to about $4,000. but today
fully $4,000 worth OF goods are
carried on hand regularly and the
investment OF the company in this
city is close to quarter of a million
dollars.
These figures representing the
amount OF goods carried in this city
and the growing Importance OF Grand
Junction as the cOmpany's seat OF
operation do not give an adequate
idea OF the increasing volume of
their Western Slope business.
Two years ago when George b.
Christensen took charge of the CON-
nnys trade In this section, the an
llsl business handled out OF this
ty was about s250,000. A year
go II had grown to t75o.o9e. and
his year II will easily double that
anocnt and 1t Is confidently pre-
ttisd that the volume will reach
100000.
How important the Western Slope
isrfitory Is to this immense company
can be appreciated when it is known
that from one-fifth to one-third OF
lis total business will be done on
his side OF the range and from the
trand Junction headquarters.
Wide Trade Territory.
The horey trade territory reaches
a. lar west as Provo on their staple
INES and even into Salt Lake City on
some manufactured articles. The
oihiah country, Moab and La Sal sec
noh, as well as Green River and
rflee as regularly visited by Morey
salesmen while other men go as far
south as Durango and Dolores.
Iunnison and Leadville on the
sas' are reached by the local travel
ls men for the company and big
parrel post shipments are going into
ale Hoifat road territory. In fact
sne parcel post business of the local
aoase is a tremendous factor in the
%l.i shipments and fully so per
'en' Oh the orders come in by mail.
