Yes, it's a long way from this processing plant in
Oregon to Los Angeles, or Chicago, or Cincinnati
...or to virtually all of Oregon's larger markets.
The load on this farmer's truck, and the load in this
refrigerated trailer, are a very small part of the
great volume and variety of Oregon farm products
that are trucked daily to distant population centers.
Two dominant factors have worked together to
overcome the penalties imposed by distance to mar
kets. One, of course, is the "Blue Ribbon" quality
of Oregon-grown meats, fruits and vegetables. The
other is the superior quality of truck transportation
developed for those products. Trucks provide the
swift, dependable refrigerated service from farm to
market that is so vital to preserving peak flavor
and freshness.
For example, last year Consolidated Freightuays
moved more than 18 million pounds of fresh, per
ishable farm products from Oregon to California
alone and much more than that to other markets.
Consolidated Freightways is only one of the many
reliable motor freight carriers that serve the Oregon
farmer. The trucking industry is a good neighbor
to the farmer and to all other segments of the state's
economy... serving agriculture, industry and busi
ness everywhere in Oregon... helping Oregon grow.

Good Neighbor in Your Common
By LORAN HASSETT
Connie was here! And Diane
is on her way. Boy did she leave
it wet. we Dulled out of Wash
ington Sunday noon and watched
swollen rivers and standing wa
ter all' the way. As we were aD-
proaching Washington we saw
corn knocKea down all through
southern Pennsylvania. Mary
land, West Virginia, and Vir
ginia. Washington had all the
windows taped for fair. You
could hardly see through them
We got into Chicago three and
a half hours late on a moder
ately humid and hot day. We
moved out of Chicago on the B
and O and spent an hour at 50
or 60, all of which we thought
was Chicago. Actually we had
crossed the Indiana line and
were in Gary a little less than
half of that time. They had held
the Washington train for us in
Chicago so it was an hour and
a half off schedule. We got into
Washington five minutes ahead
of schedule.
Durine the nieht we rjassed bv
mammoth steel mills which real
ly lit the sky around. Later I
found it was Pittsburgh. You
could hardly tell a city was
there. The country was the flat
est I've ever seen and I still
wonder what some of them
would do in the southern Oregon
mountains.'
Washington has enoueh sishts
to last for a month, much less
a day, but it seems we saw them
all. We had trips (including Al
exandria, Va.), to Mount Vernon,
Arlington National cemetery, the
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
and the Changing of the Guard,
the Capitol, White House, Christ
church, the Washington monu
ment, and were shown many
others which weren't open on a
week end.
Church was attended Sundav
morning and then we were off
tor New York. In four hours we
passed through Maryland. Vir
ginia, Delaware, New Jersey and
New York. Quite a number of
states when you consider how
far you would get in Oregon.
New York is big-. It has 8,000,
000 people. And. for some un
known reason, it does
support the population. But of
an the places I've ever seen I
hope I never have to live there.
Never have I felt as hemmed in
and buffeted in my life.
The first night there, after
eating in the most crowded au
tomat in town, a few of us took
in the show at the Radio City
Music hall. All I have to sav
is if that place didn't have such
good accoustics it sure would
make a great hay barn!
The next morning we were
off around the city on a guided
tour. We saw the new Ans?lo
Catholic cathedral that is being
erected there. They started this
church in the 1890's and still
don't know when it will be com
pleted. Then there were trips
through Central Park, Wall
street, and- the UN. all Manhat
tan, the Statue of Liberty, the
tsowery, Chinatown, and the Em
pire State building.
The next day included a varht
trip around Manhattan and Hay
den Planetarium.
