The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1909-12-16

The pictures on exhibition in the window Of Drum
heller & Ennis bona fde, and portray conditions
exactly as they in Pendeton described IN the
descriptive matter under each photograph. They
portray existing conditions better than the tongues
of men.
Regardless Of the fact that Will IL. Moore OF Pen
dleton or any other person. in public meeting de-
nounces these as false representations we defy any
contradiction of the facts have secured and made
public.
Under each picture is a full description giving
true data regarding 1t.
We never made the claim that all Of these build
ings were vacant at the time but we do make
the statement and back by facts, that there is
demand for the buildings shown, permanent places
of legitimate business. We further claim that some
of the buildings shown being used for storage
purposes advertising purposes and Tor temporary
sales rooms such as one building that has been
rented for period of six weeks for the sale OF
pianos.
In addition to these photographs, published
list of twenty three buildings where the rent had
been decreased approximately 81 300 per month or
$4,000 per year This published statement has been
confused with the data regarding the photographs.
To dispe this misrepresentation we wish to impress
upon the public, that they separate but both are
facts.
In copying the data the only possible error that
could occur would be the street number but to pro-
vide for this possibility give the names of the
building and the of the owner.
Again. we assert that every statement we have
made regarding Pendleton is inconrovertble fact.
We defy contradiction.
