For Commodore Cobolini during
his more than 80 years Of life had
accumulated a vast store Of knowl-
edge on a great variety of subjects
and among the subjects on which
he was posted was navigation con-
ditions along the coast.
So Gen. Jadwin often asked Com

Vol. /, No. ] reveals an honesty of
purpose which should create conf
dence in the proposition in the
minds of prospective purchasers and
cf those who already have bought
land.
Here is the stand the publication
takes with reference TO matter
therein contained:
Every effort is made to verify
every statement printed in these
columns. Supporting data is re-
tanned in the files of E. NJ. Good
win, Incorporated, for every state
ment printed
A large part Of the material con-
tanned in the four three-column
pages is clipped from Valley news
papers. Only stories which reliable
newspapers have believed to be true
and Of sufficient merit to warrant
printing are used.
There is quite a contrast between
this and some Of the wild claims
made by press agents Of land de-
velopers in years past.
Evidently the motto Of the Good
win organ is.
sThe truth will sell the Valley
nvny exaggerate?'
