' ' " DkauSir; ' l Kindly give me credit for the flour which lam returning herewith, and in its place send mc FLOUR MADE IN BEND. ' The BEND MILLING U WAREHOUSE COMPANY manufactures splendid flour. I have tried it thoroughly end find it moft satisfactory. All my neighbors use it, the bakeries use it and everyone who wants to boosVBcnd industries uses it. '"'i.' f c I The "Bend's Best Patent" retails as cheaply as any really first class flour I can gets and the "Deschutes Straight Grade" is the biggest kind of a bargain. But even if I had to pay a trifle more I'd rather buv a product MADE IN BEND than see my money cro out of town for stuff sc. made somewhere ci The other day I went through the , local mill. It is splendidly equipped, clean as can be, and altogether as valuable an addition to the town as we possibly could have. The mill people have put their money in Bend, and arc spending it in Bend, and it seems a mc all Bend women should use their flour. Yours for a bigger Bend, A BEND HOUSEWIFE. P.S. By the way, send mc a sack of. PILOT BUTTE GRITS. My neighbor says it is the best breakfast food she ever tried, and that it is very cheap. It sounds good to me because it is MADE IN BEND. t .w.nl 4 '" hK-f ? - ' Y ft r , 'T "& ' r 1m. fy r 4 . t "I 1 vr ,'. . .,'?'
