DRIVER AND HIS CAR
PLUNGE OFF BANK
An improvement of no mean im
portance to the people of Beaverton
and vicinity has taken place so quiet
ly that few have been aware that
Chas. Berthold, our enterprising
feed -man, was rebuilding the old
Buchanan warehouse, which he pur
cliased last season, together with
their business in Beaverton.
To the resident of town the fine
new loading platform on the west
with its porch roof and the bright
ness of the new paint all over the
Duuoing, mean that a neretoxore un
attractive spot has taken on a com
mercial beauty as well as utility.
But to the farmer the new floor
and ceiling, installed m a rat-proof
manner and the filling of the walk
between the studding with concrete so
that no mice can harbor there, means
that wheat can be stored without
loss from these destructive rodents
and that Beaverton business men have
an interest in their welfare not here
tofore shown in so marked a manner.
Mr. Berthold is now ready to store
wheat for all growers in this modern
new warehouse and promises the best
or treatment, both as to terms and
storage facilities.
