PINE NEEDLE FACTORY.

The Oregon Pine Needle Fibre Co, f,
whose factory is located in the old
school house building, is now running
continuously and is consuming about
a ton of pine needles per day. From
this amount, they secure about 600
pounds of pine needle fibre which is
shipped in bales to Portland and there
made into mattresses which sell at
from s. to $40 each.
The company had been short on
needles and they feared the necessity
of shutting down their works, but a
little judicious advertising brought in
plenty of needles and they are now
assured of continuous supply, Suf-
ficient orders are in now to keep the
factory working for several months.
