America is full of examples Of in

Take the case of the Misrawaka

Ind. This company manufactures

Footwear, worn by over eight and

For many years they have manu-
factured rubber boots, shoes and arc

They have never made light rub

GETTING TOGETHER IN A
COMMON CAUSE.

~ NE by one the different
w sections of the county are
enlisting in the cause Of
a road program that will pro-
vide this county with the bene-
fits of the open river.
This is logical because every
section stands to profit by the
move. Highways to the river
mean lower freight rates on
produce and consequent higher
prices to the growers in every
part of the county.
Connect with the river and
the people all over the county
will secure cheaper coal,
cheaper lumber, cheaper oil,
cheaper sugar, cheaper salt,
cheaper canned goods, cheaper
nails, cheaper barb wire and
cheaper merchandise in every
line where the freight is an ele-
ment in the cost.
Saturdays meeting at Mil
ton shows the east end people
are taking an intelligent,
broad minded interest in the
new road movement and will
desire a connection with the
hard surface road Walla Walla
county will build to Wallula.
They are entitled to such SER
vice because it will mean many
thousands of dollars annually
to the people of the east end.
With Walla Walla building a
road to Wallula it would be
gross stupidity not to connect
the Freewater- Milton country
with that highway.
The east end of the county
will also be in line to profit by
the Cold Springs road. 1t is
planned to have a branch of
that road connect with the
Wild Horse road to Adams or
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1915-03-29

So the "Ball- Brand" line Is to in
clude light rubbers. In order that
deliveries can begin January, 1916,
work on an enormous new plant has
begun and will be pushed with all
possible speed. This means the en-
ployment OF at least 1000 more per-
sons when the new buildings are COM
pleted, or a total of 1900 employed
for this company.
Hundreds of new homes will have
to be built to take care Of the new
workers. The building of these
homes will offer a further market
for labor and material.
It is difficult TO imagine the wide
spread influence Of just this one
case.
The new buildings and equipment
will cost in excess OF half million
dollars. over ten thousand pairs OF
the new lightweight rubbers will be
produced daily these to be marketed
direct by statesmen to over $4,000
dealers.
This great increase in business in
the fact OF competition and supposed
ly depressed times speaks well for the
stability OF the Mishawaka Woolen
Manufacturing Company and its cele-
brated products.
It Is typical example OF the cour-
age. faith and ability Of the Ameri-
can business man.

together with the Milton-Pen-

which will be paved some day
will give the east end of the
