T R A D E PROSPECTS IN N Y S S A
A R E A ARE G O O D
Prospects for the development of
trade in Nyssa from outside the city was
substantiated by City School Superinten
dent Henry H. Hartley at a meeting of
the Nyssa chamber of commerce last
week.
The population of the Nyssa union
high school district, based on the school
census, was estimated by Mr. Hartley at
approximately 4500. In addition merch
ants have an opportunity of reaching 3000
more persons in Adrian, Arcadia and Val
ley View districts, making a possible 7500
in this trading area.
As an example, the merchants of
Baker, which has a population of approxi
mately 9000, have a population of not to
exceed 13,000 to draw from, except for
other towns in the county. In contrast to
the Baker situation, the handful of merch
ants in Nyssa each has great possibilities
of developing business because of the
greater proportion of population to num
ber of business firms.
This very pleasing situation is go
ing to be enhanced by the restriction on
automobile travel, caused by the shortage
of tires and tubes, Nyssa residents will
naturally trade at home more and as they
become* better acquainted with local
stocks they will continue to trade with
the men who are riding on the same
wagon. Everyone in this community is
traveling the same road and any lack of
cooperation is going to hurt the entire
community.
INTEREST T A K E N IN FARM ERS
Local business men, through their
civic organizations, are to be congratu
lated on their interest in the farming in
dustry in this section.
Recently the Lions club contrib
uted $10 to the chemurgic council, which
is studying means of developing new farm
crops in the Idaho-Oregon territory. Last
week the chamber of commerce voted to
give $12 to send 4-H club leaders to a
conference to be held in Union.
The chamber of commerce has also
been cooperating in other ways in trying
to assist the farming interests. Farmers
o f the community are also showing Their
appreciation of the local merchants’ at
titude.
