TENT Cn SrtA THE SEATTLE OPENING SUNDAY! ALDERWOOD MANOR Piat No. 6 With five divisions of the coming greatest Poultry District in America already dotted with attractive homes and thriving egg producing plants, another unit, Alderwood Manor No. 6, will be formally opened to the public next Sunday. The new division lies close to the wonderful $150,000 demonstration farm, immediately adjoining it, in fact, and within a few minutes’ walk of the elec- tric interurban station. Scores of applicants, who have been waiting for the completion of surveys and blue prints, may now se- lect their little 5-acre farms in this newest plot. Now is the time to begin preparations for the season of 1920. Plans can now be arranged for the little home and the poultry houses; the planting of filbert and fig trees, berries and fruit trees, and the laying out of the family garden plot. There’s a great future for the man or woman who possesses a poultry and berry farm near Seattle. Al- ready the big canneries are in the field making 10- year guarantee contracts at big prices for all the ber- ries and fruits that can be raised in this section of the Pacific Northwest. “Three-Story” farming is the new slogan for the modern tiller of the soil; chickens for egg production, bush berries and tree fruits. And do you know that Western Washington produces the finest berries, cherries and pears, and that the supply doesn’t begin to meet the demand? The “little landers” already established at Alder- RICH PROFITS | wood Manor are going to reap rich profits next-year NEXT YEAR _ and the years'to come. The district has long since passed the pioneering’ stage in its wonderful develop- ment. There’s good neighbors on every side—new houses and poultry plants are building at the rate of about 10 or 12 a month. The new $15,000 departmental store building, located at the main en- trance to the demonstration farm, is well under way, a fine type of building that will mark the beginning of a “Spotless Town” at this point. INDEPENDENCE AND . HAPPINESS Here will be the chief market center of the Alderwood Manor communi- ties: the place where the thousands of dozens of new laid eggs, those fine big “fed-for-flavor” variety will be assembled for shipment to Seattle. And this brings to mind some of the most attrac- tive features of the beautiful Alderwood Manor plan; advantages that will rob Poultry farming of a great source of waste effort and insure absolute finan- cial success to those who engage in this fascinating industry. BUYING FOOD AT COST Under the Alderwood Manor plan vast stores of poultry feed of all kinds are bought by the Puget Mill Company when market prices are lowest and stored in the huge granary built for that purpose at the demonstration farm. This is sold, when wanted, to the individual poultry raisers at actual cost, plus a small carrying charge. In this way the problem of high priced poultry feed, due to buying in smaller quantities, is solved in a most practical and profitable way. Then, too, the marketing of the eggs is reduced to Poe apt a science. Instead of paying fare to Seattle and stand- A TAG s ing in a market stall all day to dispose of your eggs, you simply take, or send them, to the Alderwood Manor demonstration farm and the Puget Mill Company will market them for you, getting the highest ruling prices, without added cost to you. —Since 1853— PUGET MIL Sales and Display Rooms 218 Pike Street.
