Retail merchants of Oregon last
week went on record as boosters for
home industries, by adopting resolu
tions to that effect as one of the Im
portant acts of the annual session of
their association held in Astoria. The
resolutions were adopted after As
toria had been the scene of one of the
best home-industry exhibits ever held
in the state, in which nearly every
store in the city participated and
prises for the best exhibits were
awarded by the Associated Industries
of Oregon.
The resolutions, which are held to
mark an important step toward closer
co-operation between the retail mer
chants and the manufacturers of Ore
gon follow:
"Whereas, The merchants of Ore
gon believe in the actual and poten
tial possibilities of this etate becom
ing one of the great industrial cen
ters of the United States, and,
"Whereas. The building up of pay
rolls through support of factories is
the one practical way of furthering
the interest of the retail trade In
general, and,
"Whereas, We recognize the splen
did educational value of the exhibits
of Oregon-manufactured products on
display in the store windows of the
merchants of Astoria, and,
"Whereas. This should bring home
to each delegate at this convention
that he has a community responsibil
ity in undertaking to promote the sale
of Oregon products, therefore, be it
"Resolved, That we extend a vote
of appreciation to the Associated In
dustries of Oregon for initiating these
displays and to tin Astoria chamber
of commerce and the merchants of
Astoria for co-operation which re
sulted in bringing to the attention of
visitors and others the significance of
payrolls in Oregon; and be it further
"Resolved, That during 1920 and
henceforth we and each of us agree to
further the sale and use of Oregon
products jn our respective lines of
business and thus aid in increasing
ine mills and factories and the pay
Cask Prises Are Awarded.
In the competitive window displays
or uregon products, three prizes, o0,
$2S ar.d $15, were offered by the As
sociated Industries of Oregon. Nearly
every store in Astoria had exhibits of
Oregon goods in its windows and
committee from among the visiting
merchants was named to judge the
windows.
Charles V. Brown, president of the
ttetail Merchants' association, who
operates a shoe store at Astoria, won
first place with an exhibit of "Son
Skid" soles and heels manufactured
by the Portland Rubber mills. The
exhibit also showed raw rubber and
the various stages of manufacture
from the raw state to the finished
product.
The second prize was won by the
Bee Hive store, with a large and
varied display of knitted goods and
wearing apparel manufactured in
Oregon. Products from several Ore
gon factories were shown. The
Creasy Anderson Hardware company
was awarded the third prize, with a
display of woodenware, brooms and
drag saws, representing the special
ties of several Oregon concerns.
Children Alo Participate.
Another competition under the aus
pices of the Associated Industries of
Oregon and held in connection with
the home-products exhibit, was that
of the school children, who fc-ere
asked to write essays on the sub
ject, "Why Should We Patronise Ore
gon Industries?" Four cash prizes
were offered and great interest was
manifested in the contest by the
school children. Several hundred es
says were handed in, and the result
cf the judging showed four students
of the Astoria high school to have
won the first, second, third and fourth
prizes, respectively, as follows: Maur

TJRING the next week Oregon
citizens will be privileged to
Provide funds for an essentially
home diarlty when they will be asked
to contribute $35,000 for the building
of a home for aged and worthy poor
at Plsgah Colony. "Old Forks at Home
Week" will be ushered in today, when
the pastors of Portland churches will
speak of the debt owing to the pio
neers of this great commonwealth
and the atmosphere of days of yore
will be carried through the week
with old-fashioned entertainments,
the melodies of days of old, and will
culminate with a great concert In the
auditorium Monday, March 1, under
the auspices of the Monday Musical
cluo and kindred organizations.
Next Saturday will be tag day
("Let s Build Them a Home Day1
when people on the streets will be
solicited for their gifts. There will
be no milk bottles about, but booths
and workers will be located at prin
cipal points about the city so that all
those interested in this work can give
their tithe towards helping the old
folks out. Headquarters have been
established in room 617 Gasco build
ing, and the work of the week will
be directed from here. Remi-tances
should be made to this -office payable
to C. Henri Labbe, treasurer. The
management of the campaign is in'
the hands of Mrs. Louise Palmer
Weber with Mrs. Hattie B. Lawrence,
the "Pisgah Mother," as co-operator.
Campaign Opens Tomorrow,
Much of the work of solicitation
will be done by means of small crews
of workers who will strive to get In
contact with the business men of the
city. Already some large contribu
tions have been received from a pre
liminary canvass.
Yesterday the first gun in the cam
paign was fired when troops of boy
scouts went over the city distributing
the advertising matter telling of the
objects of the campaign. From now
on additional impetus .will be tl-
lected into the work from day to day
by crews of speakers and workers
who will comb the city to coax the
reluctant subscribers out of hiding.
Plsgah Home, called "Oregon's Hu
man Repair Shop" by George M. Corn
wall, was founded In 1911 for the sal
vaging of human derelicts from the
slums of the Portland of that day.
Though the residents of Oregon have
been asked for large sums of late for
the carrying on of charities and other
relief work, this Is tne first appeal
that has been made for some time to
the residents of the state to help
their home folks.
Another Interesting home-products
display has been installed at the

HE
T LOST
OF
But Rheumatism and Indiges
tion Are Gone Now Since
. Taking Tanlac.
"I have gained thirteen pounds since
taking Tanlac and I am feeling as
fine as I ever did in my life." said
John Peppes, 10-1 South Ivanhoe St.,
Portland, Oregon, while discussing the
merits of the medicine a few days
ago.
"My health failed a year ago," he
continued, "and since then 1 have
found out what it means to suffer
with indigestion, liver trouble and
rheumatism. My stomach was so up
set that I couldn't digest the very
softest kinds of food, even eggs half
boiled disagreed with me. I had
awful pains and cramps in my sides
and stomach that would nearly draw
me double, why. many a time I woke
up in the middle of the night from
pains, and I would lie there in misery
for hours. After eating I always felt
nauseated and stuffy and could hardly
get my breath. My liver was slug
gish, I suffered from constipation all
the time and had to take a laxative
every night. If my work had re
quired me to use my arms very much
1 woirld have had to cive it up be
cause I suffered terribly with rheu
matism In my shoulders. I lost sleep,
fell off in weight and became ex
tremely weak and rundown.
"But now I am a different man and
if ever a person was satisfied with a
medicine perfectly, I am certainly
satisfied with Tanlac Tanlac went
straight after my troubles and today I
can eat anything set before me with
out a sign of Indigestion afterwards.1
My liver never troubles me at all and
I am free from constipation. The
rheumatism has left my shoulders and
1 can use my arms as freely as I
ever could In my life. Sleep, why I
sleep like a log and when I get up
of mornings I am ready for a good,
hearty breakfast. As I said, I have
gained thirteen pounds, am as sound
as a dollar in every way and am feel
ing fine all the time. It Is a pleasure
for me to say a good word for Tan
lac." Tanlac Is sold In Portland by the
Owl Drug Co. Adv.
Oregon Woefully Lacking.
Oregon Is woefully lacking In places
for the care of her indigent unfor
tunates. Though the state boasts with
glowing pride of the wonderful stock
that pioneered here and made pos
sible the present-day residents, and
incidentally Oregon has a greater
percentage of home-born population
than any other state in the union.
she has neglected to provide proper
accommodation for the old folks who,
through some hard buffet of fortune.
are unable to care for themselves.
The feeling has arisen that the people
owe them some consideration, and the
situation has reached such a point
Mrs. F.E. Bay2eys Son is
a Jiuskt Got
that many of these worthy Orego
niana. bereft of enough to care for
their actual needs in the fall of life,
are actually without a place to lay
their heads. Present-day conditions
of high-living costs have tended to
aggravate this situation to a great
extent, until at the present time Ore
gon finds itself confronted by a real
problem.
Old residents of the state, most of
whom have given their very best dur
ing their hale period of life to the
community, now find that they have
no place to go. Private and public
Institutions are crowded to capacity.
and worthy cases are turned away
every day. Some provision must be
made for these people who have done
so much for Oregon and who cannot
now fend for themselves. During next
week the general atmosphere of the
past will be recalled in order that
some realization may be had of the
duty that is owing these honorable
aged.
Movement Endorsed.
The state of Oregon, through its
charitable committees, has approved
the movement, and Portland and state
business organizations have recog
nized the necessity for the work and
also indorsed the plan. Headquar
ters in the Gasco building will have
full information for the public as to
the work now being done and the
plans for the future. - Among the or
ganizations and firms that have al
ready Indorsed the work and approve
of the plan for raising the funds are

Pisgah home has established a col

At the present time there are about

part-time labor of Plsgah residents,
for the entire structure was built by
the elderly workers without any out
side aid during their spare time mo
ments of the past three years. Most
of the materials were salvaged about
the city or contributed piecemeal by
friends.
Shelters Now Are Shacks.
At Pisgah colony near Scappoose
the old people are now domiciled in
shelters that should rightly be called
shacks. However, it is the best that
they could do, and during war times
the patriotic old folks would not al
low any solicitation for their aid, as
they felt that all the country's efforts
should be devoted to the alleviation
of suffering in the battle zones or
caused from that source. The result
has been that their lot has gradu
ally become harder each day, until
now it is barely possible to care for
the people who have been at the home
for some time, much less for the
constantly increasing numbers of new
cases that clamor for admission.
With want at Oregon's very door,
it is not thought that the state or
Portland will turn down the worthy
cause of these pioneers and refuse
to aid them In their plight. In a visit
last week to the Woodmere Old Peo
ple's home the peaceful, pleasant time
the old folks were having accentuated
the necessity for more similar accom
modation when it was reported that
15 cases had to be turned away by
the colony during the past month on
account of lack of room. Oregon Is
proud of her name and reputation.
and the expectation of the manage
ment of Old Folks at Home Week
is that the citizens will pay proper
tribute to the sterling virtues pos
sessed by the state s fathers and
mothers by contributing in a liberal
manner to the aid of the helpless old
folks in the drear winter of their

rubber and hides. Local plants en
gaged in manufacturing such articles
as rubber soles and heels, shoe leather
goods, belting, etc., have installed In
structive exhibits in the lobby of the
second floor of the library. Miss Ann
Fossler of the technical department
of the library, who had charge of the
industrial displays the past winter,
has arranged the exhibits.
One of the most comprehensive of
the exhibits is that of the Portland
Rubber mills, manufacturers of "Non
Skid" soles and heels, leather and
rubber belting and other rubber
goods, and in connection with this
exhibit if is announced that a lec
ture will be given at 7:30 o'clock
Wednesday evening, February 25, by
H. C. Huntington, president of the
company.
Several reels of films showing the
history of the local rubber Industry,
from the time the sap is gathered by
the natives in South America and
other southern countries, until the
raw material has been converted into
rubber soles and heels for Portland
shoes, will be shown, views or tne
Portland factory will be given, with
special attention given to the local
nrocess of manufacture. The public
is invited to attend the lecture, and
iudeinfir from interest shown in pre
vious industrial programmes at the
library there will be a good attend
ance. .

the door of Oregon Investors, ac
cording to the report of George

A CONSOLIDATION OF THREE . COMPANIES
Sea Beach Packing: Works. Established 1894
Pacific Fisheries & Packing Co Established 1910
Pioneer Packing-Co . Established 1916
INTO THE PIONEER PACKING CO.
BUSINESS
The Company operates four canneries located at

operating at Taholah, Wash., and in addition con
ducts a general brokerage and selling business.
A SHORT HISTORY OF THE
ABOVE CONCERNS
All of these compaies have been tinder the same manage
ment since their organization. The Sea Beach Packing Works
was established way back in 1894, and has operated continu
ously since that time, making a specialty of "PIONEER"
Brand Minced Sea Clams. There are very few persons in the
west who are not familiar with this article. It is nationally
advertised, and is sold in every state of the Union, and also
shipped to many foreign countries. The Pacific Fisheries &
Packing Co., established in 1910, has been operating and
handling salmon at Aberdeen and clams and salmon at
Moclips. This company has many well and favorably known
brands, and has been distributing its products over a wide
territory. The Pioneer Packing Co. was organized in 1916 to
operate the salmon and clam cannery at Cordova, Alaska.
. The personnel of the consolidated company comprises the
competent, conservative business executives under whom the
respective concerns have steadily prospered.
The consolidation insures increased efficiency, increased
output and distribution of the company's products. The
largely increased volume of business and necessary provision
for logical expansion and further contemplated additions to
the company's properties, justifies the increased working cap
ital which is being provided by this issue of Preferred Stock.
