Camas Post January 22, 1915
Statement by A.R.Price Relative To Store Management
To Whom It May Concer:
 This is to disclose the TRUE facts concerning the recent changes of 
management of the Price Bros. Store. We are compelled to take this means of 
answering a false and erroneuos statement condemning the course of the said 
change. We leave it to your unbiased judgement to consid the following facts:
About two years ago, Price Bros. of Oregon City, conceived the idea of 
branching out. After due investigation they decided to open a bracnh store in 
this city, with the intention of placing H.I.Prce, a brother, as local 
manager. Due to the fact that he had made other arrangements Sam Price, a 
cousin, was appointed in his stead, with a salary of $75.00 per month and half 
of the net profits. This was placed in his charge without one dollar invested 
by him. On account of quiet business conditions during the past year, Price 
Brs. ( who financed this operation) did not feel financially able to continue 
branch stores and are therefore disposing of them.
About two months ago, A.A.Price of Oregon City, notified Sam Price of the 
firm's desicion and advised him if he wished to retain the store he should 
make financial arrangments to purchase same.He having failed to raise the 
money, Price Bros. were compelled to take over the store and turned same over 
to A.R. Price ( who is not a member of the firm and had $6,500.00 due him from 
the firm) At the close of the deal A.R.Price says Sam Price a four week's 
option to raise the necessary funds to take the store off his hands at the 
same figure. This option is STILL in effect and as a matter of fact Mr. Sam 
Price is now negotiating with local parties to secure fundsto retain the store.
To those who are disinterested and unbiased we ask: Is there ANYTHING 
unreasonable, unfair or unjust in the above transaction?.
