GRESHAM LOCALS
STATES REASONS EOR
GRESHAM CELEBRATION
decided, since Rockwood broke faith
with us, to go ahead with a celebration
of o>ir own which we promise you will
be second to none. We feel that Rock
wood has, by unfair dealing, brought
this justly on their own heads.
We make this statement because of
many minors and reports of this affair
that are decidely misleading and false
to say the least, and we wish to be put
right in the matter before the public.
