THE POINSETTIA Confectionery &Lunch One of the mo.st important manu facturing industries in this district is the Oerding Manufacturing Com pany, Inc., the manufacturing plant of which is located on the waterfront. This company manufactures seventy- fiVe differently designed articles from the celebrated Myrtlewood, in cluding nut bowl, serving trays, can dle sticks, hair receivers, fruit bowls, bud vases, candy boxes, smoking sets, gavels, etc. This, company is owned and oper ated by the seven Oerding brothers.

Myrtlewood, a native wood, which nowhere else in the known “world has attained a growth sufficient to make it a commercial wood other than in Coos, Curry and Douglas counties, years in the manufacture of the high er grades of furnitue and novelties. Articles made of this beautifully fig ured wood have found favor with peo ple who appreciate rare wood and skilled workmanship. The regal beau ty of design in the wood is due to the fact that it'comes from burly wood which twists fibres into many fantas tic shapes. The artistry of the fin- is Without question the most beau tifully grained and colored wood grown. Myrtlewood, as mentioned in bibical days and found in the Pales tine country in the form of shrub growth, is found in these counties, having, attained a majestic tree growth ofttimes of 60 to 80 feet. The butts of these larger trees have been known to attain a size of nine feet across and the various estimates of age of the trees place them from 250 to 1000 years old. The myrtle tree of this district grows in the valleys and on the mountain sides near the ocean, and in its beauty of grain, burl and color is indeed the masterpiece of nature. Myrtlewood is hard, very firm, fine-grained and rich yellowish brown, often beauti fully mottled, has all the colors of the rainbow and takes a marble-like finish. The bark of the tree is dark brown and scaly, while the leaves are dark green, both bark and leaves com taining a large quantity of oil of a very fragrant penetrating odor sug gesting camphor. The .tree bears a berry resembling an olive in both size and color. Myrtlewood has ben in < use for ished wood is» brought out by the creative talen of each craftsman. The myrtle tree, after being cut and trimmed and sawed in the mill into great slabs, is stacked in the open for the sun and air to season it. for two years or more. After this air seasoning the slabs are further seasoned in the storeroom of the manufactory for periods ranging up to three and four years, to assure a perfect condition of the wood when it is. manufactured. ' A great variety of ornamental and useful articles are manufactured, as mentioned above, from this beautiful and rare wood. Improved methods have been developed which have made possible production in sufficient quan tities to meet the growing demand for these products, at a most reasonable cost. This company both wholesales and retails selected myrtle lumber and veneer and novelties. Oerding Brothers are acknowdged as the most expert woodworkers in the. country. They are efficiently trained in the knowledge of how best to handle the work this most beauti ful and difficult wood to attain the uniformly high claps of products which they manufacture. ' They also are now prepared to do all kinds of building construction work, handling general building con- ■ tracting complete, with plumbing, Wir ing, papering or plastering and paint ing. They have installed a complete planing mill and a completely equip ped special sash and door mill. They also own a compete saw mill and equipment for the handling of hard woods, doing an extensive business in alder, ash, maple and myrtle. This is. the largest myrtlewood factory in the world.

Insurance is the only form of sav ings that many people have besides the money invested in a home or in carrying on a business. It is there fore very important that as many as possible of those who are supporting families carry insurance as a protec tion against the. inevitable conse quences of sickness, accident and death. Ned C. Kelley is the agent for all kinds of insurance, including fire, life, casualty, automobile, health and accident and maintains the only ex clusive insurance office in Coquille. Mr. Kelley maintains an office on South Taylor street next to the Co quille Hotel, where information and" rates can be had. This information will also be supplied by phoning Mr. Kelley, whose number is 36L. It is the watchword and the policy of the Kelley insurance office to- ac cord every patron full insurance safe ty and service at the lowest minimum cost commensurate with adequate protection to the insured. This agency also handles all kinds of in surance as well as those lines of in surance before mentioned, including also plate glass and liability insur ance. It is to such estabishments and men as this one and its proprietor, Ned C. Kelley, that are building up the high reputation which Coquille has gained throughout this section for responsibility and satisfaction. It affords us pleasure to, devote this space in our Anniversary Number to this most worth-while Concern and one of the most active boosters of the city. Anyone not having a policy with one of the companies which Mr. Kelley represents will do well to in vestigate the many advantages he has to offer.

These officers are experienced in this line of work and are Valued citizens of this district. They have gained ex tensive experience in abstracting work and are by nature careful and their responsibility is realized by every one who has had business deal ings with them. The work of an abstract search ‘s not the easiest thing in the world, and it is absolutely essential that the person looking up the records must be familiar, with the court dockets in order- to know where to look for the instruments. When an abstract is completed by this office and its seal placed thereon, it can be depended upon to be right, as shown by the records. This company is also prepared to care for all kinds of investments for non-residents and to look after as sessments and taxes. They have had considerable experience in these lines, and are well qualified to han dle anything covered by these Tines. This establishment has been brought .4.0 ri .position of unusual pro minence in the past due to the repu tation of the .management behind it, and we feel free to forecast a consid erable ' increase in its business during the year. The personnel comprising the company are popular business people and have a host of friends throughout this community. They are s,ome of the progressive citizens who at all times stand ready to do all in their power to make the city and county more prosperous by bringing more people here. They are foremost in all undertakings for the betterment of the community and give of their time and money to these efforts FRED VON PEGERTS RANCH HO ME ON THE HIGHWAY INSURANCE H. E. HESS’ FARM HOME ACROSS THE RIVER FROM COQUILLE The Holycross Cigar Stand located at 452 West Front Street and con ducted under the personal supervision of its owner, J. L. Holycross, is prov ing itself a necessary business es tablishment in the life of the com munity. The establishment handles a fine assortment of cigars, tobaccos and candies and dispenses“ a high quality of soft drinks and is the representa tives for the Oregonian in Coquille. A pool room is also maintained through which recreation of a high and clean order is afforded. It is equipped with both carom and pocket billard tables, both of which ' are maintained in first-class condition, and makes possible the playing of either carom or pocket billiards as games of high skill. This form of recreation, which is restful to the nerves, is one that is beneficial in many other ways. It develops a keenness of vision and judgment of distance and dexterity in the appli cation of force as imparted to the cue ball. The many technical shots and combinations of shots made in thèse game by the more expert players are possible of exact execution on the tables found in the Holy cross estab lishment. The presence of such establishments as this one, under the active manage ment of its proprietor, J. L. Holy cross, is a decided asset to the com munity, furnishing a clean, whole some form of amusement and relaxa tion for the tired business man, and thoses who find time hanging heavy on their hands will find a game at this'place a source of amusement and recreation when played against an adversary of equal or greater skill. These gaines will stimulate effort to excel, helping to develop the will, the eye, and correlate the muscles of the body to respond to the immediate judgment of the eye. We number the Holycross estab lishment and its owner as among the assets of the Coquille community. One of the concerns, which has been particularly active in the move ments to upbuild Coquille and the surrounding district and which has been active in bringing to the notice of the investors and developers the possibilities of this district is the Title Guarantee & Abstract Company at 355 South Taylor. The present managepient acquired control of the company recently, ) and have inaugurated several pertin- ent lines of work, prominent among which is the bringing down of a com- plete set of tract abstract books, making the records held by this office ooth complete and absolutely reli able. The services rendered by an ab stract company are very important. The possibilities of court actions can be' removed with very little expense and trouble by consulting a reliable abstract firm and obtaining advice on the necessary procedure. It is only safe in the purchase of land and the accepting of mortgages as security to have a search and ab stract made by an expert, and it is also advisable .for those owners of land in this district who have ac cepted l'and without having had a title search made, to have that work done now, the cost of this being small. It makes possible the remov ing of stny cloud which may be against the title which might at some time be the cause of expensive liti gation and possibly a loss to heirs. The Title Guarantee and Abstract Company is one of the best and most generally known in this district, this company conducting an office at Marshfield as well as at Coquille. The officers of the company are E. W. Smith, president; and E.

( Tragedy Recipe While visiting in Nevada with his son recently, L. D. Frakes was struck with the following recipe which he found posted on one of the bulletin boards at a railroad station: “Take one natural born fool, add three big drinks of bad liquir. To this mix ture add a fast high-powered motor car. Allow fool to soak well in liquor and let him go. After due time, re move him from wreckage and place in black satin-lined box and garnish with flowers.” J. L. STEVEN’S MEAT MARKET ‘THE PEOPLE’S MARKET"
