We do not claim that St. Helens will be as large as
Portland, but what we do claim is this :
St. Helens will have 5000 people in three years.
St. Helens will have a new manufacturing plant on the
north within iS months.
St. Helens will have something else shortly.
It now has a payroll of $2500 per day.
There is no town of 1200 people in the State with half
as large a pay roll.
Building improvements for the last year were $100,000,
not counting our $50,000 water system.
We do not hesitate to say the j-ear 191 1 will double the
present year for improvements.
Non-reidents are buying St. Helens property. Why?
Because they appreciate good investments.
