Rug Retailers Forced To Stay In Business

Legislature Wants Final Sales To Finally End Bill Would Limit 'Going Out Of Business' Sales

The Oregon Senate has approved a bill that will stop stores from having repeated “Going Out of Business” sales. This will rock the rug selling industry, whose whole advertising strategy is based on a regular sequence of “Closing Down” sales closely followed by “New Store Opening” sales. A spokesman for the rug dealers said, “This is an outrage, my family has been selling rugs for 2000 years and in that entire period we’ve never had to stay in business for more than three months at a time.”
