Dkau Sin: Kindly give me credit for the Hour which I am returning herewith, and in its place send me FLOUR MADE IN BEND. The UEND MILLING U WAREHOUSE COMPANY, manufitftures splendid flour. 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 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 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 as valuable an addition to the town as we possibly could imve. The mill people have put their money in Bend, and are 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 men 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. . : ' i I 4. --------- Kvery Uauo of Tlio Hullo tin. rooonls the process of Central Oregon ft ml tlio Demi country.
