AN OPEN LETTER
To the publio:
Wo wisb to oall the attention of
those not already advieed that we have
established a wood working plant ia
ua uranae equal to any in tne country.
We believed tbe limes and conditions
demanded suoh an enterprise and we
have spent thousands of dollars in e
quipment and improvements.
We are not only prepared to fill your,
orders for mill work but we can fur
nish all klnda of lumber on short
notice .
If yon buy in quantity so we can fur
nish in cur lota to be delivered direct
we can give you prompt shipment and
at prices as low na I he lowest consider
ing tbe Quality of tbe stock and tbe
promptness of delivery.
The prioe varies as to the amount
you buy and the cost of handling.
Before plaoin your order outside
submit yuur proposition to us aud see
if we can handle your business to
please you.
We are a La Grande institution but
we do not claim anything on that ao
o ont only to have an equal show with
our competitor.
After establishing an expensive lo
cal enterprise we want the bueineSB to
keep our 20 odd men at work.
We are not begging for favors but lo
cal enterprises should be built up to
employ our people at home instead of
sending all the money away (or stuff
manufactured in other places.
The monev sent away does not oome
back to us. and it builds up other com
munities at our expense
