Read the following letter and you will readily see why it is
possible to sell 53 Republic Trucks in one month, also why
there are more than 600 registered in Oregon today:
May Gth, 1919.
Roberts Motor Car Co.,
Portland, Oregon.
Gentlemen:
We have used Republic Trucks in our business
for two years and a half and at this time have 12
of them.
We feel after having tried a variety of trucks
that the Republic is the best for our use and need-
* less to say, think very highly of them.
They are economical in the use of oil, gas and
tires and the upkeep so far has been practically *•
nothing. The service rendered by you is demon
strated by the fact that until this time we have
had no extra car and this has meant that every
car in our fleet mußt run over its territory every
‘ day without fail. These cars have done this for /
the past two years.
Wishing you continued success and congratu
lating you upon your connection with such a re
markable factory as the Republic MotorCompany,
we are,
Very truly yours,
- ROYAL BAKERY A CONFECTIONARY.
Wm. B. Heusner, President.
This letter was addressed to Roberts Motor Car Co., which
is State distributor. We are in a position to offer the same
continued service. Let u£ demonstrate to you.

fires are burning.
Protective agencies throughout
the Northwest took advantage of
the cool weather the last week in
July to put out as many fires as
possible in anticipation of unfav
orable conditions later on. Smoke
has rendered lookouts useless in
places and greatly reduced their
efficiency throughout. This con
dition improved somewhat late in
July.
The accumulated shortage of
rain in many sections together
with the large number of fires still
smouldering in old burns and
slashings make it necessary that
unusual precaution must be taken
to avoid disastrous August and
September fires.

OWN YOUR OWN HOME!
I « IHA T joy it would be to have a home all your own,
built as a home should he built, arranged as you’ve
always wanted your house, everything orded as you want
it, when you want it. There’s nothing like owning a home
to make a man realize that bo’s a substantial citizen, or to
give people the confidence in him he deserves. You can’t
measure the value of owning your own home on a dollar
and cents basis alone—and yet with rents still on the in
crease and the price of building material stabilized, proba
bly for years to come, home building and home owning
never was a better investment. Just add to that the satis
faction and contentment for your wife, a betser place for
babies to grow up in, a more lia b le environment.
JAL-
A Safe Investment
OUR house and lot are as safe as a bond. There is
an unprecedented market now for improved property
—you can “casi in” any time you wish. Five years hence,
even though building prices slowly settle to a lower level,
the tremendous building activity that must come in the
meantime will give your investment a substantial increase
in value.
