ENTERPRISE BEST

E. B. Wheat Says It's Ahead o.
Willamette Valley Places.

Willamette Valley Places.
e. B. Wheat, the jeweler, who re-
Gently returned from a trip of sew.
eral weeks, during which he visited a
number of Willamette valley towns
and also several on the coast with
view to finding a new business loca
ton, said to a News Record repre-
sentative, Tuesday, that he TO md
nothing so good as Enterprise, and
he has come back to remain here
permanently. No place he visited
combines the advantages of a beauti
full and healthful residence town wit
present and prospective business op
portunity as does this city. Further
he says he saw no town while away
anywhere near the size of Enterprise
that is as up to date in it's buildings,
improvements and business stocks.
Mr.. Wheat is showing his faith in
the town and county by adding great
ly to his large stock of musical in.
struments, jewelry, watches, cocks
and silverware. He has put in con-
plete Edison catalogue of records
every record made by Mr.. Edison is
found on his shelves. This is proba
bly, not duplicated in all Eastern Or.
egon. Mr.. Wheat has sold scores of
monographs and it will be COOL
news to those who have bought and
to prospective purchasers that any
record listed in the Edison catalogue
is in stock at Wheat's.
In this connection it may be men
toned that the wonderful Wm. ]
Bryan records will be secured by Mr.
Wheat as soon as they are put on
the market by Mr.. Edison. These
are the records made by Mr.. Bryan
himself. AS a favor to Mr.. Edison
the famous orator made 16 records
at his Fairview farm home, ten
which have been pronounced perfect
and will soon be for sale. They are
the first made by Mr.. Bryan him
self, and the exact tone of his voice
is heard as he talks as only he can
talk on various public questions.
