At the close of business Saturday,
October 3, the stone store at Odell,
known as the store of the Connaway
Mere. Co., will close permanently.
This move has been deemed advisable
by the members of the recently organ
lied Consolidated Mere. Co., thus leav-
ing one store to provide for the needs
of customers in OdeIl and vicinity. On
Wednesday, Oct. z, the Consolidated
Mere. Co. will open store in Hood
River in the Sproat building, one door
east of the store of E. A. Franz Co.
1t is with genuine regret we hear that
one of Odell's stores will close. Though
this does not necessarily mean a falling
OFT in business, it lacks the busy, pros
porous appearance and will very likely
result in the removal of those who
have been interested in business here
to some other locality.

what time, perhaps a very short time.
may disclose. Let us then be hopeful,
for even though financial loss be in
store for us. we have had just so many
days less suffering than if we had lived
over and over in advance any trouble
that may be coming our way. And,
again, ours is a pleasant outlook when
to that of the people across
the Atlantic.
