WIN

On the curl: Bastian Bros Co, Rochester, NY

The brainchild of the Ford Administration, this was an acronym for "Whip Inflation Now." But rather than the grassroots wave the President was hoping for, the WIN campaign became the butt of jokes from a cynical public weary of Watergate and politicians.

Cowlitz Landing

"At this place Hudson's Bay Company traders from Puget Sound loaded furs in canoes for transport to the Columbia River in the years 1836-1846. Then American settlers came up the river by bateau, barge and raft. A landing was built on the donation claim of F.A. Clarke and a hotel on the adjoining land of E.D. Warbuss. American settlers held a convention here in 1851 and petitioned for a new U.S. Territory north of the Columbia River. Steamboats came in 1858. They served the Cowlitz Valley until 1917."

"Erected by the Washington State Highway Commission."

My own ancestors may have landed here in the mid-1870s. This historic marker is within a stone's throw of the biggest "EAT" sign on Interstate 5 in Washington.
