  • HAMPION EMPLOYEES* STORE ^nuiTiidnrjT.inrrfr SSEr Hunter Library The above cut shows the store conducted by the Champion Relief Association, YOUR STORE. The building was erected by the Champion Fibre Company, and presented without charge to the Relief Association for their use. All Association members are privileged to deal with this store and to share in its profits in proportion to their purchases—coal and wood are handled on a basis which net the Relief Association a small profit, while at the same time the member obtains his supplies of those commodities at prices very much under those prevailing in other communities. REMEMBER the RELIEF STORE is YOUR STORE. Purchases are made on the lowest possible basis. The store has no expenses other than the salary of the Manager and assistants, with some minor incidental expenses, and all, of whatever profit is realized comes back to you in the form of dividends proportionately with your purchases. THE MORE YOU TRADE WITH YOUR STORE THE BIGGER YOUR DIVIDENDS AND THE LOWER YOUR PURCHASE PRICE.
