KEfP TOUR MONEY AT HOME
Don't sand it away for sugar grown by
the half naked inhabitants of the islands
but sustain tha high standard of labor
that is employed in the production of
sugar from our own soil and sunshine.
La Gi inde sugar means work for all and
thousands of dollars are distributed among
the working classes of this valley every
' month. The working class in all lines of
! business should stand as a unit in sup
porting any industry that helps to support
them.
Buy La Grande sugar and patronize
yourselves instead of the cheap labor of
other lands.
La Grande sugar is as good as the best
and invites comparison for purity and
sweetness.
