THE HOME TESJEPMOWE M TELEGRAPH COMPANY
TITE MORXING OREGOIA, SATURDAY, 3IARCH .2, 1912.
OF PORTLAND, OREGON
Is a Strictiy Independent Telephone Company.
The company is owned and controlled in Portland, Oregon, by Portland people.
The Home Telephone and Telegraph Company of Portland, Oregon, has no agreement
or understanding, secret or otherwise, with any competitive telephone company.
The support given this independent company by the citizens of Portland prevents tele
phone monopoly here.
In merging the Independent Telephone plant in Seattle with theirs, the Bell Telephone
monopoly states it will not ask to raise its rates for two years. What will the people of Seattle
think of the prospect of increased rates in two years, so plainly promised by the Bell people?
Ours is the telephone company "of the people, by the people and for the people," and it's
here to stay. Its prosperity is the people's prosperity it is a home enterprise and deserves
the support of every loyal citizen.
The names of our Directors should be proof of our assertions:
A. L. MILLS, President First National Bink, Portland, Oregon. EDW. COOKINGHAM, Vice-President Ladd & Tilton Bank, Portland, Oregon.
HENRY L. CORBETT, Vice-President First National Bank, Portland, Oregon. THEO. B. WILCOX, President Portland Flouring Mills C6n Portland, Oregon.
ELLIOTT R. CORBETT, Assistant Cashier First National Bank, Portland, Oregon. SAMUEL HILL, President Home Telephone & Telegraph Co. of Portland, Oregon.
WILLIAM M. LADD, President Ladd & Tilton Bank, Portland, Oregon. EBEN F. WELLS, Treasurer Home Telephone & Telegraph Co. of Portland, Oregon.

for the total amount of lumber ranged

fact that freight rates on Government
shipments of lumber are extremely low
from Portland and vicinity, beinK only
about 11.25 per thousand feet, of the
14 bids there was only one which was
not lower than the bids of the two
