either backward or forward, we see
other encouraging signs. The 1922
farm production of $1,000, O0O-which
would have been worth much more
money but for 1922 prices having been
lower than in 1921. and for crops, as
generally over the country, having
been lower than in 1921-will be sur
passed quite certainly in 1923. A fast
growing poultry and egg production is
accountable in considerable measure
for this increase; although, as in the
past and from all present indications
as in the future, dairying leads as the
big Grays Harbor farm industry
Berry production and packing, too. is
becoming more and more a factor in
our farm production.
Tourist Traffic.
Records of Aberdeen and Hoquiam
and other tourist parks OF Grays Har-
Dor county, covering automobile par
ties entertained there, scarcely are
needed to demonstrate the hugely in
creased tourist traffic of 1928 as COM
pared with 1922 figures. Observation
on the part of anyone driving over
the Olympic higaway, or standing on
our city streets, shows the increased
numbers of visitors from other parts
OF the United States. Whether we
regard tourist traffic in itself as an
industry or confina our annraciaffon
to the percentage of tourists who
must be regarded as potential indus
trial or farm colonists, the fact re-
mains that it has been augmented
tremendously in the 1928 season.
Looking at the situation from all
angles, the present of the Grays Har-
Dor territory seems very satisfactory
and the future looms big with prom

posing of any article placed on the shelves.
Today the merchant serves an entirely diff
ferent buying public. If he is to succeed. his
merchandise must be up-to-date, standard in

ally advertised trade marks. His prices must
meet those of host of competitors, locally and
in other cities. His store must be modern,
spacious, daylight building, with ample conven-
fences at the disposal of his patrons He must
be constantly on the lookout for new ways to
serve the trade MAXIMUM QUALITY AND
SERVICE MUST BE MAINTAINED IN Or
