So he supplied some “conservative estimates,” which ought to be interesting to the farmer, anyhow.

Opens Stock Subse HE time has arrived for the most important forward step yet ta in advancing the fruit and berry industry of Western Wash- ington and Western Oregon. Intensive co-opera- tion on the part of the public means swift devel- opment of the industry until it is bringing into the two estates from $50,000,000 to $100,000,000 a year, with large profits to those who are part- ners in its growth. We are glad, therefore, to announce for today formal opening of the subscription books of the Oregon-Washington Canning and Preserving Company, which has been organized to meet the needs of the berry and fruit growing interests and to provide adequate canning, preserving and marketing facilities for this newest and ‘most promising of the Pacific Northwest resources. The Oregon-Washington Canning and Preserv- ing Company is incorporated under the laws of Delaware with capitalization of 100,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $100. 100,000 shares of Common Stock, no fixed par value. This stock will be issued only as the develop- ment of the company requires. At present 5,000 shares of each, Preferred and on, will be made available to the public of Seattle and King County. This Preferred stock, bearing 8% inter- est, cumulative, will be sold at par. The nominal figure of $10 per share will apply to the Com- mon, which carries control of the company’s management. Common stock will be sold share for share with the preferred, though preferred may be bought without the Common. . Subscriptions may be made at any of the offices of the Oregon-Washington corporation or At any of the banks and other financial institu- tions indicated in this or subsequent announce- mente. As the plants of the Puyallup and Sumner Fruit Growers Canning Company at Puyallup and Sumner, Washington, and Albany, Oregon, are to be the first acquired by the new corporation, facts as to the volume of business and earnings of that company have a vital interest to prospec- tive investors. SEATTLE— Seattle National Bank National City Bank John E. Price & Co. The Bank of California, N. A. Metropolitan National Bank The following banks and financial sented to co-operate with the organization committee in accept- ing subscriptions to the stock of the new company: PUYALLUP— Citizens State Bank Puyallup State Bank SUMNER— Farmers State Bank ription Books Today Organized originally with a capital of $2.700 seventeen years ago, the Puyallup and Sumner corporation last year operated on a capitalization of $1,000,000, distributed among 1,800 berry growers and other stockholders. These figures represent the gross sales of the last eleven years: 1910....$ 500,000.00 1915... .$2,000,000.00 750,000.00 1916.... 2,000,000.00 - 1,000,000.00 1917.... 2,300,000.00 +. 1,250,000.00 1918.... 2,700,000.00 1914.... 1,500,000.00 1919.... 3,500,000.00 ‘ owing how the canning and preserving industry BRINGS IN MONEY it may be noted that 95% of the sales volume last year was in territory east of the Rocky Mountains. Four- fifths of the product went out under lebels adver- tising Pacific Northwest fruit. Profits in the canning industry ordinarily rep- resent a clean 10% or more of the annual turn- over. Last year net manufacturing profits of ° the Puyallup and Sumner Company exceeded $500,000.-Wholesale selling prices of products are based on 10% advance over all costs of pro- duction. As a canning company is,expected to do a vol- ume of business each year of from two to five times its capital stock, the investment feature is at once apparent. An 8% dividend on the pre- ferred stock is an excellent return to the investor, while allowing attractive margin for participation of common stock. Whatever CREATES "WEALTH, brings in money from outside, expands the home payroll, means prosperity. The people of Washington and Oregon cannot wait for others to build up these home industries. The opportunity is ours; ours will be the profits. i The Oregon-Washington Canning and Preserv- ing Company is semi-public in its widespread functions. It is destined to have a profound influ- ence on the 20,000 berry and fruit growers of these Western slopes. They look to this great organization to stabilize the industry, to provide markets, to assure their hopes and the future of their homes and families. 1 institutions halve kindly con- TACOMA— National Bank of Tacoma The-Bank of California, N.
