Kindly give me credit for the flour which I am returning herewith, and in its place send,
me FLOUR MADE IN BEND.
The REND MILLING Ac WAREHOUSE COMPANY manufactures splendid flour. I
have tried it thoroughly and And it mot satisfactory. All my neighbors use it, the bakeries
use it, und everyone who wants to boost Bend industries uses it.
The "Bend's Best Patent" retails as cheaply as any really first class flour I can get, 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 buy a product MADE IN BEND than sec my money go out of town for stuff
made somewhere else.
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 nave. The mill people
have put their money in Bend, and arc spending it in Bend, and it seems to me .all Bend women
should use their flour. - Yours for a bigger Bend,
A BEND HOUSEWIFE.
P.S.
By the way, send me 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.

east Is a huge dry farming area, em
bracing moro than 260,000 acres of

with deep soil, no trees and rocks,
and with well water obtainable at
