A Dalles firm recently placed an
order with the Pendleton Woolen

entitled to any Office in the gift OF his

If you don't blow your own horn,
no will. The Dufur Dispatch says: "As
,e DufurD Dispatch probably has a much
rger circulation among the Wasco
,unty farmers, than any one other
,blication in the county, advertisers
ould look into this matter in their
vn interest. County officials, in fair
,ss to farmers, whose presence and
bors make the county what 1t is,
ould think of this, too" Comment q
