A GOOD EXAMPLE
FOR PAPER USERS

Here is hint for paper users in this
district, copied from the Orange Belt
News, California newspaper:
The Daily Orange Belt News, when
it announced Its intention Of publishing
a daily newspaper, was hard pressed
with statesmen representing various
news print paper houses, including the
Swedish brand which is sold in Amer
lea much more than American made
papers.
an deciding the brand of paper we
would use on the roll news, The News
took into consideration the matter of
the MIRA and American-made paper
For more than ten years this newspaper
has been dealing with an institution
which sells American-made products.
The news print formerly used in our
weekly and tri-weekly papers was also
American-made. However, the real
significance of the this situation as af-
fecting the use of American-made
goods which carry the MIRA Blue Eagle
was brought home to lis yesterday
when representative of the Inland
Empire Paper Company of Washington.
Mr. S. r. Whiting, made a personal
call at The Orange Belt News plant.
I'm discussing the manufacture of the
news print, Mr.. Whiting stated, The
news print you are using is the only
all American-made paper used west of
the Rocky mountains. Everything that
goes into the making of this paper is
American-made.'
in view of this statement, we be-
lieve that we are the only newspaper in
this county using exclusively 100 per
cent American product and one that
carries the MIRA Blue Eagle on every
roll"
