GLENWOOD BUSY TRADING CENTER FOR CAMAS PRAIRIE

Glenwood is the trading town of the Camas Prairie Valley. We have the white church on the corner where on Sunday we congregate. Then on the corner of Main Street, the Glenwood Trading and Development Company store. The Glenwood post office and Mt. Adams café, the August Kuhnhausen store, who has opened once more, which gives our town a boost of another good store. Glenwood's new cheese factory has been a new edition. A barber shop too, and the Service Garage, the Pool Hall and Drug Store and movie house too.
There is Wyers freight and stage barn, Mac's Confectionery, the Weck's Meat Market and combined grocery store, Mt. Adams Garage, Standard Filling Station too. And on the next corner, Grandma's Kitchen, eating house where pies and cakes are baked to order. Then comes Glenwood's big school District 201 and across the street of the Variety and Millinery store. A big dance hall, a shoe and cobbler shop then up the street one block is a blacksmith shop or two.
There is also a Grange Hall No. 94 which is outside of the city limits. Also Mt. Adams Pine Sawmill which employees a hundred men or more. Then we have Herman Kuhnhausen's Glenwood to Portland truck which hauls your freight or your cattle, hogs, chickens or what have you. Then right through our valley and goes the Pacific Power & Light Co. power line which we hope will improve our industries in time. Our town and our farms and also the Mt. Adams Pine will all want to electricity in a short time. And soon Hell Roaring waters will irrigate the farms which very badly need to raise bigger hay crops to fill our barns.
A good word for our roads which are improving from year to year. The Farm to Market Road bring Glenwood from the rear a little closer to our neighbors city. So our friendship grows most dear. And then our town is also on the line of the Yakima, Glenwood, White Salmon, Portland Scenic highway. Someday a bus line that may travel on this route. This author also has a dream that in the near future shall be a railroad with a monster engine, a string of cars will go streaming through this beautiful valley of ours.
