The Enterprise, White Salmon, WA., February 6, 1931, page 2

GLENWOOD NEAR MT. ADAMS

With Wyers stage coming out from White Salmon,
With the dear old postoffice where we look for our mail,
And the Yakima highway which used to be only a trail,
And the little church on the corner nearby,
That more could attend if they only would try,
Then right on the corner without traveling much more,
Is the Glenwood Trading and Development Store,
And from there if you go across the street,
You’ll find the Mt. Adams Café to get something to eat,
And right down the line is August Kuhnhausen’s Store,
With H. Kuhnhausen’s truck backed up to the door,
Unloading more freight to give a supply,
So go over there if you’re wanting to buy,
Then cross back again and the cheese factory you’ll find,
With about six others right on down the line,
There’s the barber shop where they trim you up gay,
Then Simpson’s Garage, not out of your way,
And Dinty’s Pool Hall where the men get their smokes,
And hang around a lot telling funny jokes,
Then the drug store with medicine, ice cream, dry goods and all,
And at the next door is Hanson’s movie hall,
Then there’s Weck’s Butcher Shop where we must go for meat,
And Mack’s Confectionery right across the street,
Then down a little farther before you make the turn,
Is the Mt. Adams Garage and the gas you can burn,
Then right across on the corner is a nice home to sell or to rent,
Whoever buys it will think their money well spent,
But before you go around the corner at all,
Go back a few blocks to B. Hanson’s dance hall,
Then back down the street where you started before,
And call at Mrs. Jebe’s Millinery and Variety Store,
Our nice big store is right across the street,
But no gymnasium for you to see who could get beat,
Then in and out of town are homes, farms, sawmills and all,
And where the road forks you’ll find the Grange hall,
Where they have Grange meetings and sometimes a ball,
To turn your partner and promenade all,
And when the Hell Roaring ditch is completed and the highway too,
We will all want to live near Glenwood and so will you.

Mrs. J. Troh
