Will Not Build Pendleton Office by Women of Woodcraft
Women of Woodcraft in Pendleton abandon plans to erect a modern office building on Main and Water streets near Hotel Pendleton. The venture, valued at several thousand dollars, is dropped and may not occur at all, despite earlier announcements and expectations of a neat addition to the business district. The report notes public improvement and civic sentiment amid local views on lawful behavior and progress. The piece contrasts the calm of Pendleton with broader Western reform and mentions Weston police influence on street conduct. A Phoenix Insurance calendar sent to Constable J M Bentley features an old barn door titled Good Luck decorated with symbols like a horse shoe rabbit's foot wish bone and four leaf clover.
