Among the things to be thankful for at this

are all grateful for that.
But the owners of the Grabateria are par
ticularly thankful for the handsome business it has
done all thru this year.
It is to our many patrons we wish to ex
press our appreciation for their patronage and
'ood will that has enabled us to be a factor m the
Ife of the best locality in the City of Portland.
So we extend to you all our best wishes for
a Happy New Year.

Many inauurncturcrs nnd in
vestors throughout the east ure
making iitvesligalion or condi
tions in Oregon relative lo es
tablishing industries in this
slttle. Reccnlly numerous in
onirics have been received by
(lie bureau of industries ol the
Portland Chamber of Com
merce asking lor iiirormalion,
including consuming popula
tion, raw material available,
rail and water transportation,
weather conditions, availability
ol labor ami power and oilier
mailers either directly or indi
reelly affecting industries, This
wave of inquiries is said lo be
due largely to the fact (hat rail
rates have been increased to
such an extent thai it is almost
prohibitive for industries to
ship raw products lo the east
and then shin them west again
in their finished slate to supply
their demand on the Pacific
coast anil in the rapidly grow
ing trade territory in the orient.
Manufacturers are also looking
for locations where climatic
conditions ure such that they
can operate during the entire
year and where there is con
tented and efficient labor. Pros
pects are that within the next
two or three years Oregon will
experience a wave of industrial
development beyond the fondest
dreams of the most optimistic.
