But the Columbia would ik A be denied! In the warehouses at Troutdale a large number of the completely different Ford automobiles had been hid away, according to the Gresham OUTLOOK, and North west dealers were advised that the nation-wide date of display would ¡find them all well supplied with the great automotive surprise. Now, maybe the Columbia and Sandy rivers were more curious than expected or else they looked with disfavor upon such shenani gans. Whatever the case, as flood waters reached Closer to the cars in warehouses, the Ford company expressed concern and hauled their latest product into a Gres ham berry field. The word traveled fast.
