-The Square Deal Welding works,
operated by C. E. Duncan, is. fully
equipped for electric and acetylene
welding, a process which was
brought to the fore during the re
cent World war and has Wade ad
vances during the post 'war period.
' The firm is equipped to handle
any melding ;br brazing job that
could arise' in the city. Cast Iron,
stceV aieni'hum, 'and air metals
that are Osed in machine fabrica

thus hiaking them as good as new

About the middle of September,
Gaskill and Renfrow began to
manufacture tamales and chili at
the residence of the former.' 629
North Winter street.' Since that
time the business has expanded
into quite substantial propositions.
Mr. Renfrow Is no longer connect
ed with the manufacturing end of
the business, but he is helping In
the distributing of the product and
the mark . of Gaskill an d , Renfrow
is still used on the finished article.
To "Wholesale Trader v" y ;
I Only wholesale trade is solicited
by the concern. - At present repre
sentatives v in SiPverton,. Albany,
Corvallis, Dallas, Independence;
Oregon City, "Aurora and Portland
handle the Gaskill - and Renfrow
tamales and chili. Once or twice a
week these, representatives phone
or write their orders to Mr. Gas?
kill, who then makes the tamales
and the chili called for and ships
it by bus to its destination. Mr.
Gaskill dOes not keep a stock of
tamales on hand, but manufactures
them as they are called tor, and in
this way assures his customers of
the freshness of his product lie
states that since he started manu
facturing chill his sales have mul
tiplied by ten times. This is due
to the fact that most of the chili
purchased - by local - trade . comes
from eastern manufacturers, i and
because of the . distance shipped
and the time thus lost, the chili is
otten spoiled before it reaches the
consumer. . Accordingly' the sale of
the article in this section had been
greatly Impaired. - 4
- " Ia Attractively Packed
The chili ia put Up in' attractive
bricks, of - half pound -and one
pound Twelghls"; To prepare the
chili for tho table, the brick is
merely dissolved In warm water,
and if desired, cooked beans and
cracker crumbs added. " A hair
pound brlclc makes enough chili
for six good plates.- ....

article he uses jl 00 pounds of corn

Hoped for Factory
Mr. Gaskill is very optimistic
