Heavy Responsibility Thrown Upon Washington and Oregon Because of Fruit Shortage Throughout che made new highs for the day during the last | | Killing Spring frosts throughout the Middle and Eastern States have wrought havoc to the orchards and berry fields. Not in many years has so large a portion of the country suffered equal devastation. The resultant certain shortage of fruits and berries this Summer and Fall at once had its effect upon the market. Prices stiffened; demand stantly improving position. This condition throughout the Nation throws tremendous responsi- bility upon the Pacific Northwest. Here prospects are for perhaps the largest crops of berries and small fruits ever harvested. They must be packed and marketed. Otherwise the loss will run into millions, and the country will suffer serious deprivation. The Oregon-Washington Canning & Preserving Company comes into being at just the right time. With large capital, wide influence and seasoned managerial ability, it steps in to put the fruit preserving, can- ning and marketing business of the two states in an unassailable posi- tion for years to come—with great benefit to the fruit interests and large profit to those who are partners in the enterprise. Merged into the new company is the successful Puyallup & Sumner organization that for years has paid dividends and whose achievements are recognized as adding greatly to the development and prosperity of eee Now is your time to profit. Act immediately for your own benefit and that of all the Pacific Northwest.
