DAV75 Cor Greenwood & S;Ave. La Grande. La Grande uses more cement than any three cities and towns in Eastern Oregon and Idaho combined, excepting Boise and Weiser. The commercial importance of La Grande is the best in Oregon and Idaho outside of Portland and Boise' and is approached by Idaho Falls only from the smaller cities' sources. There is better normal bus iness and the normal business standard is higher, in La Grande than any city in Oregon outside of Portland. These encomiums were chanted in La'Grande today by "Red Devil" Ed wards, the well known drummer, who sells Red Devil ' cement to Eastern Oregon and Idaho. He said it withj "malice of forethought" too, for a ; group of men were discussing condi-! tions when the commercial rank of towns came up. j "Last year we sold 52 carloads of, cement to La "Grande. This is just our! brand' and does not refer to the other j grades of cement sent in here. "For the past three years and again' this year, the trade has been normal- ly excellent. At Weiser there was one enormous order that put that town' up in the front rank of cement using towns, yet the trade there is not asj normal and continuous as it is here. Boise alone can keep up with La drummer. "Permanent improvements make a town and it is permanent improvement that has been going on in La Grande. I have no hesitancy in saying that among traveling men who make East ern Oregon, the stale at large or any of the northwest states, that La Grande is in the forefront of them all commercially." .
