have advantage of competition in freights
which you cannot have any other way.
End. By storing on the river you have a
chance to sell to the mills at Albany, Salem.
Oregon City and Milwaukee, as well as to
the exporters at Port, land.
3rd 1t often occurs that the mills pay
more for wheat than the exporters will
offer.
/ will be prepared this season to buy
wheat as soon as it is threshed.
Pointing with pride to the successes of
the past in marketing your wheat, respect
fully ask your patronage for the coming
