OREGON TOGETHER
In 1930. Vearl and Elsie Lehrman
of Bend began making novelties
from Central Oregon’s juniper trees.
\ \ ith a g ift lathe, powered by their
washing machine motor, Lehrman
turned out colorfully-grained items
of his own design. Today their
Western Juniper Novelty Co. is in
a new building, w ith living quarters,
modern shop and display room.
They have mastered the individual
istic wood, learned the public's sou
venir tastes and developed far-flung
sales outlets. "Ours is a product
t)pical of Oregon which First
National helped us devel
op," Lehrman says.
In all parts of Oregon people arc working to better themselves-
and in the process keep our state growing. We introduce some of
them here. In each case they’ve made effective use of the constructive
servtces of our First National Group banking offices. We believe
that by helping individuals toward prosperity, we help build Oregon —
anuly by family, farm bv farm, business by business. W hether vour
financial needs are large or small, come in and talk over vour situation
with us.— Let's Build Oregon Together."
