Tuesday, July 18, 19,22 THE HEPPNEfc HERALD, HEPPNER. OREGON PAGE FIVE TO VISIT HEPPNER Local dealers throughout the stale are awake to the great opportunity presented by the plan tor a huge car avan ot automobiles, trucks, tractors and implements which is being as sembled in Portland and will begin its itinerary of the state near the southern line in. the near future and work its way northward. The schedule of stops will be announced soon which will include this locality. A similar demonstration in west ern Washington last year attracted fully 10,000 persons in some of the more populous sections, and crowds of from 1000 to 5000 were common. Local business men will cooperate with the exhibitors and their repre sentatives for the convenience i' comfort of the crowds which will gather wherever a stop is made. The tour will cover about three months, using the highways exclu sively. Associated in the enterprise are the Ford Motor company .featuring Ford Trucks and Fordson tractors, the .Standard Oil company, Oliver Chilled Plow Works and allied manufactur ers of a complete line of farm imple ments for which the Oliver concern is the Northwest distributor, the Er sted Machinery Manufacturing con pany, showing the Ersted hoist; Tal bot & Casey, with flie Trailmobik and a number of tractor specialties and attachments, Parsons-Gordon Comany, Northwest distributors o the Lee Line Trailers, contracto dump bodies and similar, equipment; the Francis Motor Car Co. with Her cules truck bodies for various com mercial and industrial purposes; Modern Appliances Company, dem onstrating the Delco Light and a number of electrical specialties, incu ling many for use in the modern farm home; to which exhibits innum erable features will be added to meet local demand for special demonstra tions of a widely varied character. In, the neighborhood of 40 trucks and tractors will be required to handle the entire apparatus. It is estimated that approximately 4000 miles will have been covered by the date of the last demonstration. Co operating with the distributors will be their respective local representa tives In about 150 cities, towns and villiages in Oregon and a portion of Washington along the Columbia river. More than 50 mechanics, dri vers, lecturers and technical experts will participate in the various demonstrations. Civic organization throughout the course of the tour will cooperate in arranging special features. At Oakland in southern Oregon, there will be a great barbecue to which the whole countryside is being invited. A clambake will be a prominent event at Seaside, and special programs are being arranged at Lebanon, Grants Pass and many other points through out the entire state. Daily radio concerts will be given, there will be motion pictures, illus trated lectures, various prize contests refreshments on the grounds and in numerable entertaining and educa tional features. The entire plan was originated by W. H. Goodwin, Portland branch manager of the Ford Motor Company who staged a similar project In west ern Washington a year ago. That at traction proved so highly interesting to farmers, contractors, engineers and business men that requests tor a similar tour come from hundreds of points throughout the entire Norui west, and it is in compliance with so widespread a desire that the various manufacturers and distributors are putting on an) entirely new industrial and power farming tour in Oregon this year. This year's show will differ great ly from that staged a year ago by the same exhibitors. Upon reaching a demonstration point, instead of set ting up all equipment and apparatus in a single field, a distribution of the equipment will be made in accor dance with local demand. Thus, if a farmer wishes a demonstration of mowing or plowing it will be conduc ted at a point convenient to all who are interested in such demonstration. Should a contractor desire first hand information concerning special bodies trailers, hoists, road building mach inery, etc., such demonstration will be given at a spot apart! from the ag ricultural show. A business man wishing to be shown the advantages of delivering merchandise may have the free use of a vehicle specially equipped to meet his requirements. A tabulation of operation costs will be made in connection with each demon stration of truck trailer tractor and their special equipment, and upon conclusion of the several demons! ra- entertainment and educational pro gram for the entire crowd at the headquarters of each show. Tim onvunn i-itl nut pontine itself to the highways and main traveled j roads, but will go into the back coun-J try in order to give the more remote i sections every possible opportunity to witness each demonstration. , The itinerary will be announced ', within a few days', but it has been definitely determined that the cara- . van shal proceed under its own i power southward to the California line, malting brief stc;-3 en: route and witholding actua 1 demonstrations until the caravan reaches its ex treme southern destination at such points as Ashland, Medford and Grants Pass, from which points a re turn will be made for f. huge show in the vicinity of Portland before leav gin for towns and cites! clswhere in the state. Watch for date of arrival of the caravan in Heppner announcement of whichwill be "made later.
