WHY ?
Eor Wiis property holds the key to the future water transportation of
of Tillamook Bay.
For it has the command of the fresh water harbor.
For it is absolutely removed from the destructive toredo belt.
For it is the only harbor on the bay sheltered from wind and storm.
For it has the natural fresh water impoundment for saw logs.
For nature has provided the only adequate deep water channel for
commerce.
.
For it is bound to be the second largest Commercial Port in Oregon
within 10 years, and from an investment standpoint these strong factors
mean much to you-
For it is the logical and geographical Point from which the vast
timber belt of Tillamook County must be Concentrated for water trans­
portation.
For it is in Close Proximity to Portland and its Vast iMarket advan-
tages and should equal if not Surpass Portland as a Lumber Manufactur-
ing Point within 20 years.
