Tips On
Titles
A MAN

"A MAN
came rushing into our Office and
wanted an Abstract in hurry. He
seemed to think we kept them on
hand and could pass the one he
wanted right over to him. 1t was the
first time he had ever required an
Abstract. He had an opportunity to
make an investment which gave
promise OF rich returns. 1t was an
unusual chance. He had no ready
money 30 had gone to his bank to get
it by placing mortgage upon his
land. The bank, according to its Gus
tom, demanded an Abstract and re-
ferred him to us. Now the man had
lived on this land. He had paid good
money for it. He held Warranty
Deed. He thought it was his. 1t
was, but there was "Cloud upon the
Title" which had to be cleared be-
fore he could obtain any money upon
his land. There were defects in the
instruments as recorded which could
be remedied only by decree of the
Court. This required time. Mean
while the opportunity for the promIs-
ing investment had passed.
This is not fiction. 1t is not even
exceptional. 1t is the sort OF thing
that is occurring repeatedly.
You own land in Hood River
County. You intend, some day, to
have it covered by an Abstract.
Why Not Nowl There is nothing
to be gained by delay and may be
much TO lose. 1t matters not what
you think about your land, your
title is only as good as the records
show. The business of the Abb
stracter is to give you the record OF
your title.
Some people seem afraid to enquire
into the title to their land They
prefer to play "ostrich" and try to
think there can be nothing the trouble
with it. When the day comes. as it
surely will, that they must have an
Abstract they are disappointed that
they have to wait for the Abstracter
to do his work. But they can't blame
the abstracter. 1t takes time to pre-
pare correct and complete Abstract.
Besides there are always other hurry
orders ahead which must be finished
before new work is begun. 1t is even
more annoying TO learn that the title
you thought good is imperfect. The
trouble may be slight and of nature
which could be readily removed, but
still sufficient to cause an exasperat-
ing delay at time when one wishes
to make quick sale or raise monev
upon a mortgage.
Be wise enough to have your Alb
stract made NOW, while there is no
urgent need for prompt action.
Come in and talk to us about it, we
may be able to make a few sugges
tions of benefit to you.
We have been searching Hood
River Titles since 1885, and il there
is a flaw in the Title we can find it.

Discussing the fruit situation in Eu-

notably apples, will be scarce in Eng

as result of heavy frost damage, and
that prices the coming year will un-

better every year. Mr.. Day, who
