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

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

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. 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

■• Insurance has become recognized
as one of the most important assets
of any community and the well, being
arid happiness of the people is very
often governed by the amount of in
surance carried.
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.

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
