ANY MERCHANT,
Rend, Oregon.
Dkaii Siu: -
Kindly give nic credit for the flour which I am returning herewith, and in its place send
inu FLOUR MADE IN REND.
The REND MILLING U WAREHOUSE COMPANY manufactures splendid Hour. I
have tried it thoroughly and find it moft satisfactory. All my neighbors use it, the bakeries
use it, and everyone who wants to booft Rend industries uses it.
The "Raid's Rest 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. Rut even if I had to pay a trifle
more I'd rather buy a product MADE IN REND than see 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 its valuable an addition to the town as we possibly could nave. The mill people
have put their money in Rend, and are spending it in Rend, and it seems to me nil Rend women
should ase their flour. Yours for a bigger Rend,
A REND HOUSEWIFE.
P.S.
Ry 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 REND.
