, The chamber of commerce is the center of information for all
the tourists and trarelers. coming through Saleai. Issuing of
pamphlets and maps and information of scenic stopping places has
been a prominent, task of the' chamber.
Another phase of champer work to 1 reach lare proportions

farming tn the Willamette Valley. i 5 t
" During the year between Fix and" Seven' hundred meetings,
civic and committee, hare been beld" in the rooms of the chamber

available for the meetings f civic clubs.

another task in which theihawbe'helped. There are now over
