MADE IN OREGON.

The multiplicity and diversity OF
products made in Oregon are not as
well known TO the average resident, or
business man, for that matter, as they
should be. Here in Oregon we manu-.
facture perhaps ninety per cent Of the
average requirements Of our citizens
but comparatively few realize the fact
"Made In Oregon" should be the slo-
gan of every citizen. Every dollar
spent for home goods remains at home,
and the spender gets back at least a
portion of his money in one way or an.
other every time he buys q "Madc in
Oregon - product.

great manufacturing states in the
Union, but the time IL will require for

today are struggling for existence, aud

casual investigation Of our citizens will
show that our manufactures In most
lines are turning out goods today tho
equal Of any In the country, and the
Manufacturers Association only asks
that when such goods are offered that
they be given the preference.
This leads to another important phase
OF this question.

duty Of every citizen. We live by the
