REFORESTATION PLAN
FROM OREGON'S ONLY
(& LARGEST) BREWERY
TO PROMOTE THE 1959
OREGON CENTENNIAL -AND
WASHINGTON, TOO
y , . . '
Last spring, the lives of over 63,000 people out
there were made greener and more meaningful by
the Douglas Firs, suitable for planting, which Ore
i gonians sent to promote the Centennial. When you
add to this number their families, friends, neighbors
arid passers-by who will also benefit from the shade,
the figure runs much higher. To millions, maybe.
In addition we received requests for 13,000 trees
that we couldn't fill because tree -shipping season
ends promptly April 30th. Trees have seasons just
like strawberries, apples, or swimming suits.
Well, here it's tree -planting season again. So fill
out the coupon at the bottom of the page and well
send a free tree (2 years old . . . about a foot high)
from you to anyone in the United States outside
of Oregon. And Washington.
This time Washingtonians are cordially invited
to get in on the fun, too. After all, Washington was
originally a part of the Oregon Territory and will
doubtless be more than happy to lend Oregon a
hand in promoting its Centennial. We're sure that
Oregonians will reciprocate in 1989 when Washing
ton's Centennial Year comes up.
The tree, then, will be accompanied by a tag say
ing it is from you, with your name on it, and a booklet
that tells, (a) How to plant and care for it, (b) About
Oregon's Centennial and the fun they can have, arid (c) How
they ought to visit Washington as well. As long as they're
coming all this way they ought to see the other magnificences
great Northwest, don't you agree?
who to send the trees to? Even those of you who sent a tree
must know a lot of other people. Here are a few suggestions:
l J. FRIENDS. THEY'D LIKE A LIVING INVITATION TO THE CENTENNIAL AND
A NORTHWEST VACATION, NOW WOULDN'T THEY? f2 RELATIVES. YOU MUST '
HAVE LOTS OF THOSE OUT THERE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU USED TO LIVE SOME
WHERE ELSE. WHY SHOULD YOU BE THE ONLY LUCKY ONE IN THE FAMILY?
BUSINESS ACQUAINTANCES; LODGE BROTHERS; THAT MAN YOU WRITE
TO ALL THE TIME BUT HAVE NEVER MET. f 4 SOMEONE THAT YOU WOULD
LIKE TO KNOW OR HAVE ADMIRED FROM AFAR, f 5 J EVEN SOMEONE YOU
DON'T PARTICULARLY LIKE; MAYBE A LIVING TREE WILL SOFTEN HIM UP
AND MAKE HIM MORE ENDURABLE.

... you get the idea. Oh, one other thing: we've gotten back several
reports of trees that died. We think we can blame this one on the
weather. It was an unseasonably cold spring in some places. If you
have heard of any such hardship cases and haven't reported them
to us, just fill out the coupon and we'll send them another tree.
And one more thing, we'd enjoy knowing where the trees end up
and how they are doing. Only if it's convenient, of course. Don't feel
you have to write, though we like to get letters. And answer them.
