Few people of this county
realize the great Uiiiounl i,f ;ub-, .ii
licity and wlvcrtisiiin wo Frej
gettintr nownuayn. it is a ciaiiaoi
advertising that will nioslt -fleet,
ually retard dt vcinpiM-nt :
counteract rill b-ptiniate jull:
city work done ly tin I'lj-fu
ationi and resident r;d ;
men of tli couiniunit v. li i i
a character that will Uriyn th
bona fide homes' eker away fr rv.
us instead of brinKintf him to us.
An example of thT.j work: ()t
on the train any Sunday iiki.c
in i; at Portland and come ami;
ns fur a Scnppoose; you will fiol
on the train a real ettatc man
from I'ortland huvinjr in I v
several people IVk bur fur a pi. ee
of (f!-und on which ihey r i,
locate arid make u h"te. Juit
follow them durin;: the dayund
you will find Mr. Ileal VM.lv
Sharper take these pernio back
in the hills where the land is
covered with timber and suuupF,
no 'roads that are passallu for
farm wnjrons and on the sides of
a hill that u coat would have
trouble in cli:nbinjr. Tin the
prospective home, t ekcr is talked
into buying ii portion of this
land, makinjr a payment down
and Kettinjra cor tract. The price
paid for the lrnd i.i tren.-rally
double or tnUc what the land
is ivallv worth, o after a cabin
U built and work is started the
duped homebuihh r finds himself
in a predu anient where he has to
h im iu'tr his contract ami lin-e
the money he has paid besides
the work he has done. As a con
science there tire hundreds of
deserted cabins throughout the
county, btandinjr as ir.inumer.ts
to the ureal salesmanship of the
r.al estate fakir. The resultant
advertising from the ; eople who
1,,.,,. .lllTXM . Ilt tbl'T
money, time and energy, is cr
tainly not the kind of adw-t iisin;.
that will do a country any rood
Kvvrv man who has been dupei
becomes a knocker, and ju.tly
o, instead of a booster, while .f
the land had been pr..;ilrly
shown, conditions properly ex
plained and sal -i made on the
square, every man who Ins built
a cabin would be there today im
proving his land and making a
home.
What is true of the Scappoosc
portion of the country is also
true in other sections and it cer
tainly seems that some st.-i

In addition to the Di ou.it ('knii fio.r Cue Me'chant, you also use the Minia

The Tad's System U not limited to children b,rn sinre June 1st, 191)7, but
ANY rhilJ under sixteen eari of atre nay have the same opportunity by
Depositing the initial 1.00.
The educational feature commends the ideti to every good citizen, and where
in use it is strongly endorsed a an trir-c-rtiit factor in the upbuilding of the
community. That a large percentage of the growing Ktr'erat'n ' children will
be provided with sufficient funds to ei:ttr into hniness, or for educational
punmses, seems like a fairy tale, but the Tad's System will ,'surely accomplish
this result.
