be better fed, better clothed, better housed, better sup
plied with the goods and services they want. Jobs pro
mise to be rather plentiful. Pay will be better than ever
before. Taxes will not be higher. Prices are likely to
be fairly stable."
The figures are extremely impressive, even in an
era when we are accustomed to talking glibly in terms
of tens of billions. In 1950, our total spending — which
includes everything spent by individuals, business and in both its residential and commercial branches, seems

MEAT IS THEIR DISH. As an Eastern Oregon livestock marketer,
Samuel E. H ill saw the need for a wholesale meat service in
Pendleton. Three years ago he purchased a small "'custom" slaughter
house, serving only the individual needs of owners of hogs, cattle
and lambs. W ith the help of his wife and son, Clinton J. l( ii l (now
a New York art student). H ill extended the business by providing
fresh and cured meats for nearby markets and restaurants. Now the
H ill Meat Co. is in enlarged quarters and provides seven non-family
jobs. The firm continues to advance its growth through helpful
services of the Pendleton Branch of First National.

PROVIDES BOX TOP5; BOTTOMS, TO O . Louis Rupp
decided in 1945 that Hood River apple and pear orchards
needed a close-at-hand veneer plant to furnish slatted tops
and bottoms for fruit boxes. Assistance from First National
at Hood River enabled him to start the Hood River Box
& Veneer Co. at Odell. The plant is near both the orchards
and supplies of pine and fir logs for "peeling." Today it
provides 21 Oregon jobs directly. Use of modern equip
ment produces 5,000,000 pliable "lids" annually for boxe-.
with sides and ends of regularly cat lumber.
