OPENS OFFICE IN DALLAS
Representative of Ohio Trust Company
VIII Locate in This City.

G. Hughes, a former well-known
real estate dealer of Salem and Port
land, is arranging to open an office in
Dallas. He has moved his family to
this city and will become a permanent
resident.
Mr.. Hughes has connections with
the Ohio Trust Company, which is OPP
Grating heavily in Oregon real estate
and bringing hundreds of settlers to
the Willamette Valley. This company
has an office in Portland and deals in
land in all parts of the state.
Mr.. Hughes has sold large amount
of land in Polk County in the last
year, having been instrumental in
placing nearly fifty families in the
Bridgeport and Cooper Hollow neigh
borhoods. He says it is his intention
to bring hundreds of Eastern families
to make their homes in and around
Dallas during the coming year. This
will be made possible by the extern
sive advertising campaign his firm is
conducting throughout the Eastern
and Middle states. He thinks no town
in the Willamette Valley has bright
er future than Dallas, especially as
heavy trade handicaps against the
business men of this city and in favor
of Salem have been removed.
