people of this community an attraction
that is said to be entirely different
from anything ever attemnted in the
past. The outfit consists of about 100

cnestra, tnese leatures constituting
part of the program for Saturday
evening.
Another event thnt has nttmptnH
marked attention aloncr the entire
route of the caravan is the Ford
owners' parade. To stimulate an in
terest in this affair, it has been the
CUStom elsewhere to offer inmimpmhlo
prizes for competition on the part of
Ford owners and drivers. Hood River
Will Drove no exeention to the, (ranoml
rule, local merchants hnvimr e'ntererf
into the spirit of the occasion with en
thusiasm. As a consequence, a sub
stantial prize list is to be found else
where in this issue, and a perusal of
the list gives promise of considerable
merriment ana entertainment when
the various Ford owners line up for
the big parade
"We certainly are pleased wit the
spirit shown by Hood River business
men upon this occasion." said C. Mans
field, of the Bartol-Mansfield Motor
Co., in discussing the splendid cooper
ation tendered hin firm n nrrnnn-inr
for a celebration calculated to surpass
that of any other community as yet
visited by the caravan.
"The Ford caravan really is a more
pretentious and elaborate affair than
can be realized without actually hav
ing seen it in action. Associated with
the ford Motor Company and its deal
era in Oregon and a portion of Wash
ington are a numDer or America s
foremost manufacturers of automobile
appliances of every sort. Naturally,
being possessed of tremendous finan
cial power, it has been possible for
these interests to go far beyond the
limitations of any single concern, and
the result is a show that is quite start
ling. "Our local people seem particularly
alive to the bigness of the enterprise,
and needless to say. we are deeply
grateful for the tins spirit shown in
cooperation with us for the success of
the caravan. The caravan has visited
j about 60 towns and cities thus far. In
some instances the crowds hav been
as high as six and seven thousand, yet
1 firmly believe that Hood Kiver is
destined to have the finest Bhow of
them all."
Leaving Portland July 8, the cara
van journeyed as far south as Ashland,
where the. first show was staged. Re
turning northward, the caravan visited
all towns and cities on the highway
and many that are situated a goodly
distance on either side of the highway.
The Tillamook loop, involving a trip
from Portland to Hillsboro. McMinn-
ville, Sheridan, Seaside, Astoria,
thence to ClHtHkanie. St.. Helena and
over into eastern and central Oregon
complete the territory now being cov
ered in a state-wide tour. The rar.
van a total mileage, whollv under it
own power, is approximately 4,000.
ine present enterprise is an elabora
tion and extension of a similar project
initiated and successfully phch(pH in
western Washington about a year ago
by W. H. Goodwin, then associated
with the Ford Motor Com nanv s S.
attle branch, but now manager of the
Portland branch. The territory
ered last vear anDoximated RIO miles
which compared with the 4.00(i-mil
tour of the present caravan, will give
one an idea of the relative size and
scope of the two caravans.
Iiinspired to greater achievement Mr
Goodwin has planned an attrartinn
that draws immense crowds at every
stonpine place whether it he an sari.
cultural community, lumbering center,
nsning, mining or other form of indus
trial town oritv. for the show ia nn.
that ia said to embrace practically
every phase of the whole automotive
indUfctrv. Exnlainincr the nnrnua f
the caravan, Mr. Goodwin said:
"We are nimnlv o-ninc in tv,

folks who, as individuals, cannot con
veniently or profitably come to see us.
We are showing them equipment which
they could not ether wife inenert ex
cept by visiting the plant and show
rooms of each of the several mnnoma
associated in this enternrif e. That, of
course, would involve a prohibitive ex
pense.
"But we know." continued Mr.
Goodwin, "thst the whole industrial
world is on the alert for the neweU
i industrial methods and ideas. We
j know, and the really successful farm
! cr. engineer, contractor or bus-inens
; man knows that industrial coraitions,
methods, tools and machines change
: with startling rapidity, ami we have
ought to devise a plan to keep all
i mustrial operators fully abreast of the
times. That, in brief, explains the
purpose back or the plan, and the truly
immense crowds that greet the cara
i van from day to day testify eloquently
to the popularity of the idea as exem
plified by our traveling exposition."
J. I). Jordan, arsistant manager of
the Ford Motor Company's Portland
branch, is in direc t, personal charge of
ine caravan, ne r.as with him execu
tives of the revert! associated exhibit
ors and a corps of skilled mechanics
and technical experts. Having led the
caravan into a score or more of Oregon
tnwns and cities. Mr. Jordan comes to
Hood River highly enlhused with the
success of the show and the fplendid
reception that has been ni versa Uv
accorded the exposition.
"Farmer. busine men, state,
rourty and municipal officials, lumber
men, rcsmmercial clubs and similar
todies have received cs so wonderfully
t t at eomr r cr woul.-i mt
fair." ad Mr. Jordan. "We mho
are within and r,rt of the great1
automotive industry lortr have tn I
are tf its t.erf.mer rtriies." ccn
tir.ued Mr. Jordan, "but it remsred
for the caravan to cpen our on eyes
to tie widtifreai realization oftfcis
development on the part of the general
public. We have found not merely a
genuine interest in the automotive
neiu, Dut also a very lively and accu
rate knowledge of it everywhere, and
our present experiences point the way
tojan even greater development of the
wnoie inaustry.

like to point out with pride to visit
ors," said Mr. Johnson, "and you will
find that it pays you. It will cost but
littln more than an arrhitnrhiml nlmm.
ination. Some of the most successful
creameries 1 know of are in towns
where the creamery buildings are even
handsomer than those occupied by the
panics.
