Are We Sold on Oregon
The Northern Pacific, Chicago, Btfr
liugton and Quiney ami the Greal
Northern Railway coinpanfts for the
past two years have carried extensive;
advertising of the Northwest
and of the Oregon country. Daring
the unmth of March a beautifully
printed menu appears on their din
ning cars three times a day, with III
menu made up entirely of Oregon pro
ducts, says Herbert Cufhbert of the!
Portland Chamber ojt Commerce in a
publicity letter sent out. this month.
Have Oregon People Vision enough
to realise what this means? These'
big railway companies consider (bar I
Oregon products nr.- of stifiii lent (ual"
it y and of sufficient merit to serve to
their guests. This is at once p.'acnijj
the seal of approval of corpc.raliol! ,. I
with millions of dollars of capital.' on i
a wide and diversified list of the pro
ducts of Oregon. No greater testimony
could he given to their exiellonee.
Are the people of Oregon, showing the J
same confidence and lie same appre
ciution of the proiiuels of their state',1
us these railroads are doing? Are the
people of Oregon entjeiirorfttg to help'
themselves? Are they helping to build
up Oregrija through Its Industries?
Hove they? any Idea pf the fact that
in sonic of our COiaffl oditios, ninety-1
eight percent are sold outside at the-'
state, sold on their merits. If they
are good enough for plnetylght per
cent of the purcha-c.'s la the pastern
states and Europe, surely they are
good enough for ttuJP own people.
And what a marv 'loos change would
come over Oregon if our own people
were sold on the value of (heir own
products.''
