deed we cannot fully express our appreciation
The past week has seen ten new names added
to our growing list, while every week there is
one or more new’ names placed on the list.
(J We want to add more and more new names
and to do so we expect to give the news of
the community exclusively, and other news if
we have the space. I o do this, we ask our
readers to phone us or mail us any news in their
neighborhood. 1 hat way we will both profit—
you, in giving the news; we, in publishing it.
ijj If you want the Daily Oregonian, we can give
you it until Nov. I, ’22, and the I ribune a full
year for $5.50. If you want the Daily and
Sunday Oregonian, we offer them to Nov. I,’22,
and the I ribune one full year for $6.50. No
separation, u ust be combined. Offer good un­
til January 31,1922.
ij We are planning an issue of the Tribune to
be devoted to the motor power vehicle industry,
the same to be off the press about the middle of
Febrnary. Elxcept for the cover, we expect it
to nearly approach our Christmas edition. It
will be a humdinger and most of the motor
power vehicles and machinery w ill be on dis-
event—in other words, it
pageant. Dealers are
asked to write for rates and space, if they have
not already received a letter conveying full in
formation.
ij Now a word to our advertisers: We appre
ciate your continued patronage, and we hope
you are reaping good results. We are doing out
best to make ydur interests our main watchword
for if you succeed we also prosper.
About our Job Department: We can handle
most any kind of job work your needs may re­
quire, and we know our prices are less. We
expect our sample line of Calendars any dav
now, and as soon as they arrive our representa­
tive will call upon the trade. Send us your next
order for job work and thus prove to your own
satisfaction that we print quality
