Traveling Man Says It is
Finest on Pacific
Coast
HAS SEEN ALL OF THE COAST BEACHES
Mr. Ered M. Rowley, representing
th<- Equitable Savings X Loan As
sociatioi. of 1’ortalnd was in Bandon
the latter |\art of last week ami in
conversation with a represi-ntativ t
ot the Recorder, expressed himself
as being much pleased with the
conditions sitrr.-tinding our little citv
an 1 among other things took oc
c.ision to say that he had visited all
the beaches along the Pacific coast
including the famous Redondo beach
of California, and to use Ins ‘own
words “the Bandon beac skins flit in
all a city block.”
Mr. Rowley
was very enthusiastic over the stir
roundings and also stated that he
had some property in Portland which
he hoped to dispose of anil if suc­
cessful he has his eye on five acres
along the beach which lie hopes to
buy and will probably invest more
money here in the near future This
i ll-
is Mr. Rowley's first visit to
don, but it was the sam<- old Stol V
of “seeing is believing, ' anil as all
others have been who have taken
the trouble to investigate, he is
thoroughly convinced that there is
no better place than Bandon and the
whole Coquille River Willey to tn
vest money.
Mr. Rowley said lie
had great faith in the future of this
country and was willing to take a
chance on it.
