M if it i tilt L .in Qregou9Q (Bwn cumU QDmlqj Smgmir Suimtes OREGON Oregon's newest major industry, beet sugar, is grateful for the unprecedented support givenjo it since it was established in the fall of 1938, with the completion of our two-and-one-half million-dollar plant, America's newest and finest. To show our appreciation, the Amal gamated Sugar Company launches this state-wide campaign to "sell" Oregon's communities and indus tries to Oregonians, in which we shall subordinate "self interest" and speak mainly about "the other f el low." Eventually we hope to pay tribute to every section, and to ev ery major industry. Save these advertisements.
