THE GRESHAM OUTLOOK
Knowing what a merited achieve
ment it is for a small newspaper to
succeeds, we take a great pleasure in
joining with its many friends in wish
ing the Gresham Outlook continued
success in its semi-weekly publication.
Harry L. St. Clair is the president-ed
itor of this worthwhile paper which
has made its imprint upon the life and
activities of the people in the com
munity it specially serves—Gresham.
And judging from the patronage given
it by merchants in that vicinity, the
people recognise and appreciate its
importance to the progress of the com
munity.
