$79 billion this year, according to the Grocery 'Manufacturers of
America, Inc. Retail food store sales for the first four months of
1958 were 9 per cent ahead of the first four months of 1957. The
upswing in food sales is due to higher prices, advanced merchandis
ing standards and new processing and packaging procedures, and
not only to the fact that people have to eat
VALLEY BUSINESS NEWS Construction has begun on a new
$10,000 building at 315 S. Bridge St. in Sheridan for Davison Auto
Parts, Sheridan and McMinnville Auto Supply firm, according to
manager Grant Rea. The 60 x 50 foot concrete block structure will
be ready for occupancy about July 15 and will allow significant
expansion of the five-year-old firm's inventory ... A 6,500 square
foot addition to HiWay Products Inc. boat division near Aurora will
be completed by June 1. The firm, on Highway WE between Aurora
and Canby, turns out four boats daily . . . A new cleaning establish
ment is being opened at 148 Box St, in Sheridan by Mrs. Frank

WOOD PRODUCTS ADD VALUE Manufacture of lumber and
wood products "added by manufacture" some $1.2 billion to Oregon's
industrial output during 1956, according to U.S. Department of Com
merce. The value added for lumber and wood products was $625.6
million. Lumber and wood industry labor force was 72,609 produc
tion workers who drew $309.6 million in wages.
RAILROAD CARS ON ICE Southern Pacific Railroad has de
veloped a new ice machine which "ices" refrigerator cars in the
freight yards, thus eliminating the process of switching them to an
ice dock. The 6elf propelled icing unit pulls ice trailers to the
cars, crushes the ice and load it into the refrigerator cars with
conveyor belts. The new process, in operation at Eugene, also
eliminates icing in transit at Klamath Falls and Portland.

Stock Market
Action Mixed
NEW YORK U - The stock
market was highly selective and
mixed Wednesday with trading
fairly active.
Considerable profit taking was
apparent after Tuesday's big ad
vance. This was especially notice
able among the leading steel
shares which were active and a
bit lower.
Rails staged a technical advance
and utilities were firm. Motors
were mostly lower. Oils, base
metals, aircrafts and farm Imple
ments were irregular.
The optimistic speeches by Pres
ident Eisenhower Tuesday night
and by Treasury Secretary Ander
son Wednesday were not regarded
by Wall Streeters as having any
particular effect on the market.
The Associated Press average of
60 stocks closed unchanged at
$168.60 with the industrials down 40
cents, the rails up .60 cents and
the utilities up 10 cents.
Volume was 2,580,000 shares
compared with 2,500,000 Tuesday.

Grain Prices
Close Higher
CHICAGO lV Mo6t grain fu
tures closed substantially higher
on the Board of Trade Wednesday
after drifting along most of the
session at prices near the previous
finish.
The buying was moderate but
fairly broad.
At least some of the demand for
wheat was related to weather and
crop reports in the Northwest, the
northern Great Plains and West
ern Canada. In some sections of
those areas the moisture condl
tion has been reported in recent
trade advices as deteriorating
rapidly.
In southern Montana the winter
wheat crop was reported as hav
ing begun to fire and in western
Canada there has been some dust
blowing with little relief indicated.
At the close, wheat was 1-1
cents a bushel higher, corn Ve-lVi
higher, oats unchanged to Vi low
er, rye 2-3V4 higher, soybeans
1-1 higher, and lard unchanged
to 13 cents a hundred pounds
higher.

committed offers.
Some 400 tons on which commit
ments have already been made
will be bought by his office, Beyer
added.

PLYMOUTH SAVES YOU HEY ON GAS...
MQBILGAS ECONOMY RUN VICTORY PROVES IT!
New "Fuel-Saver" Choke that' helped clinch
title is standard equipment m all Plymouth V-8s
by Jean Komaiko
Confidence in water it
gained or lost in a child's
early years. Parents can help
overcome the greatest
enemy of water safety fear
by following a few simple
rules. They're described in
an article in the

Exclusive in this area in
t .'
Pound for pound, Plymouth uses less gasoline than either of. the "other
two" cars in the low-price "3"! This was proved beyond doubt 'when a
1958 Plymouth V-8 was officially declared winner of the low-price car
competition in the 1958 -Mobiles Economy Run. Plymouth's competitors
also entered cars with 6-cylinder engines (supposedly more economical)
but Plymouth beat every car in. its class V-8s and 6s alike!
This title-winning Plymouth is exactly the same Belvedere V-8 with
TorqueFlite Automatic Transmission that you can buy right off your
Plymouth dealer's floor.
These tests prove that every Plymouth has built-in econbmy features
not found in the "other two". For instance one of the most important
TODAY'S BEST BUY. . .TOMORROWS
factors in Plymouth's smashing win is the new "Fuel-Saver" Choke that
you get. at no extra cost on all Plymouth V-8s. This ingenious device
employs a triple-stage vacuum piston and a new thermostatic element to
.reduce the amount of fuel you use in warming up the engine. So it can
save you even more on short-distance drives the kind most people make.
' Among the many other savings Plymouth gives you is the $140 you
save on standard-equipment Torsion-Aire Ride. The "other two" charge
'up to that, much extra for their best suspension systems. And there are
dozens more economies, too!
So if you are dollar-conscious, better hustle over and talk terms and
trade with your Plymouth dealer. He's ready to give you a great deal!
