You will remember some time ago

men OF Portland came to Grants Pass

and went through the factory which
at that time was yet incomplete. The

In words. for like many people not so

1t as little two-by-four factory
where sugar was made, not realizing
the magnitude and completeness OF
the building and machinery. The
coming OF that body OF men did more
to put Josephine county on the map
as flrst-class place for investment,
than thousands OF dollars worth OF
advertising.
The company has promised that
soon irrigation will come to Josephine

to prosperity. but be right up In the
front row. You can help TO make
southern Oregon famous for some
thing more than the finest climate

most famous place In the world for
sugar beets. and now Is the time to
