Congratulates lhe Ei|lt
Portland, Ore,. Dec. IB-
Mr. Paul S. Robinson, Vernonia,
Ore.—Dear Sir: We have just been
handed a copy of the "Chistmas Edi
tion" of the Vernonia Eagle, issued
Friday, December 14th, and are tak
ing this opportunity to write you for
two reasons:
First, to congratulate you on such
a splendid issue. The people of Ver
nonia should be proud to mail this
issue to their friends, as it certainly
will prove an “eye-opener” to those
who are not familiar with Vernonia’s
rapid growth and development.
The second reason is to ask if you
will not please send us an additional
copy or two of this paper in order
that we might forward same to our
officials in San Francisco—we know
of no better way to back up the argu
ments made to our officials at the
time we asked for an appropriation to
install a distributing plant in Ver
nonia, than to furnish them with a
copy of the Christmas edition of the
Vernonia Eagle.
Thanking you very kindly, we re
