Grade of Silo on
the Market
The Idea that una haa to send away
from home to buy the beet kind of
equipment l disproved by the Cam
rrun, Oregon Hilo Manufacturing Com
pany, which la turning out tha brat
product of Ita kind on tha market,
"Made In Albany" ehuuld be areit on
every alio in Linn county, and from
tha manner In which farmera have
been buying thia particular brand of
goods It will not be Ions until every
farm ia equipped with thia necessary
stock raiting adjunct. More than 300
Linn county farmers already own
Cameron-Orvgon.ailoa out of the 600
or more that have been turned out of
tha factory in the laat three year.
The success of the Cameron Silo
ia due to the fact that a patent spring
takes up the alack and carve for the
e ipanalon due to damp and dry weath
er and all adjuatmenta are made r.t
the door of the ailo. Thrae spring
are placed every 10 feet up the ailo
and bold tha banda In proper poai
tion and take rare of the action of
the elementa without thought or wor
ry of the owner. The hinged roof la
another feature, permitting the filling
of the ailo to full capacity.

Needs of Growers and
Business Houses
Fortunate indeed are the farmers
and fruit growers of Linn and Ben-
ton counties, in that they do not have
; to send away from the city to buy
their cratea and boxes. Much money
is saved in freight and cartage in ad
dition to keeping Linn county money
in Linn county through the operations
' of the Cabinet and Box factory oper
ated by Roner brothers at Water and
' Jackson Streets.
j J. C. and A. M. Roner were born
I in Bohemia and learned the cabinet
; making trade in their native land,
j They emigrated to America and lived
for a time in Nebraska, going Irom
' there to Scio, where they lived three
years. They came to A Ibany 18 years
ago and bought the old From ahop
near the site of their present mill.
) During their 18 years in this city
: they have built up a substantial buai
neaa, and with the development of the
! amall fruit industry they are looking
forward to a great increase in the
use of their products. While their
ousineas w niosuy uxu at present,
. they ship large quantities of boxes
( and crates to Medford, Grants Pass
! and other fruit growing sections of
the state.
In addition to making fruit boxes
they furnish crates for packing and
shipping butter, meats and other pro
ducts shipped from Albany.
They are expert cabinet makers and
have turned out many beautiful ex
amples of their art in library tables,
stands, cabinets, floor lamps and
other wares.
Although Roner brothers do most
of their own work, at times in the
year they employ considerable ad
ditional help, which adds to the pay
rolls of the city.
