the spring, as he has business matters

mains long in the country where he
has been resident for years, as he

strated on number of occasions in
the bailiwick that he knows how to
sell goods, passed through Oroville
Tuesday by auto on his way to his
home at Spokane after having conduct

B. c. Mr.. Gregson never fails to make
good VITA sales campaign, and his
success is not only due to his genial
personality but because he does BUSH
ness strictly on the square, and honest
methods and fair dealing spells sue
cess every time. Mr.. Gregson was able
to spend but few hours in Oroville,
and hence could not meet the many
friends that he made during his var
ious sojOurns In OrOville.
