FIRST NATIONAL LETTER
When the Chamber of Commerce
Yesterday, the F irst N ational Bank is manned by a board of open-
of Ashland mailed to their depositors minded, aggressive boosters, th ere'
and citizens generally a splendid cir­ will be less euts and more go-get-em.
cular letter on the value of co-opera­
tion in financing the industries of
the country in times of stress, and
showed how the country had been
tided over the crisis by the hanking
interests, and how the banks had
been able to do so through the money
the people had placed in their hands.
The letter was timely, and the state­
ments therein were tru e and logical.
Great things are always accompished
and can only be accomplished,
through hearty co-operation.
Just so. with A shland’s other large
enterprises, a tourist hotel and san­
itarium . for instance. Ashland now
faces a crisis. She has expended a
large sum of money on mobilizing
her mineral waters and improving a
great park. This expenditure has
proven burdensome for lack of the
finishing achievem ent— preparation
to accommodate those who must be
brought here to increase the tax­
able wealth of the community and
relieve the burden. In the past she
has lacked the hearty co-operation
of one citizen with another to bring
about this great accomplishment.
Instead of this very vital co-operation
there has been backbiting and in­
nuendo against individuals. That
condition must be changed or the
larger community good can never be
accomplished. The Chamber of Com­
merce policy must he advanced to a
broader view
Citizens must h e art­
ily co-operate for the common good,
regardless of personal feeling or
grudge before Ashland can go for­
ward to the big accomplishments.
W ithout this broad view; w ithout
this wholesome co-operation: w ith­
out this forward policy. Ashland can­
not accomplish a splendid destiny
any more than could the banks of
th e country have tided the industries
of the nation through the crisis that
has just past w ithout the coopera­
tion of depositors in placing th eir
funds at the disposal of the banks,
by keeping all the money they could
on deposit so that it could be used

IVfiy We Should Buy
Oregon Products
By George L. Beker
Mayor of Portland
np H E prosperity o f a state is dependent
largely upon its industries. If employment
is available, the labor problem and many
others correlated, solve themselves.
ARAGEMEN everywhere write us of their big sales of
Cycol Motor Oil. There is just one reason: The
superior performance of Cycol in the motor. One dealer
tells us: Cycol is almost too good for the garageman. Once you
sell a customer he drives his car 500 to 1000 miles before he needs
more and only a measly old quart then. How can we make any
money out of an oil like that?”
G
It is true that a motorist will use less of Cycol than of ordinary
oil. But other motorists by thousands are discovering the
greater lubricating value and economy of Cycol. As a result,
Cycol dealers increase sales rapidly, while Cycol users decrease
operating and maintenance costs.
Cycol is the motor oil free from destructive “sulpho” com­
pounds. These impurities are removed by the new Hexeon
Process used only by us. Only Cyclo-Naphthenic base crude
petroleum is used in making Cycol.
The people of Oregon owe Oregon their loyal
and steadfast support. To support Oregon
means to support its industries, which in turn
is a support of its citizens.
Prove the superiority of Cycol for yo irself. Flush the crank
case, not with kerosene or so-called “riu hiug oils,” but with the
grade of motor oil our lubrication chai t recommends for your
engine, and refill with the correct grade of Cycol.
In the interest of prosperity and a greater Ore­
gon, it is the duty of every citizen to give
preference to our home factories and products
— not on the ground of sentiment, but as a
pure business proposition.
Different brands of motor oils have different bodies. The
safest, surest way to get the best performance from your motor
and avoid expensive engine troubles due to incorrect lubrication
is to use the grade of motor oil specified on the Lubrication
The net result of general support in ***** line
will be continued prosperity for Oregon.
