[or-roots] Ware family (Eugene, Lane Co, Oregon)

[E V Barnes]

HI:

Is there any one in the Portland area that may
recall the Columbia Optical Company of
Portland?  My Briggs line formed it and we
have traced up to 1930.  If anyone has any
thing later on this entiry, we would certainly
appreiciate being notified.
