Barnhart brothers have just finish
ed these decorations. The WALL

The one thing that Oregon needs
above all others is advertising. Mar
can not improve upon her resources
her climate, her fortunate geograph
ical location nor the number ant
direction of her rivers. 1hes
things are her own and were her
before she knew the white man
Man can deSelop her resources, en-
joy her climate, take advantage o
what nature offers. Those Of III
who are hefe owe it TO ourselve
and the people abroad to let tn
world know wherein Oregon excels
To do this we must advertise. w
