for the advancement of the Inland Em- 

 pire interests. In assuming the presi- 

 dency of the Apple Show, he made the 

 one stipulation that the exposition 

 should be primarily one to exploit the 

 apple, and that its leading features 

 should be approved by the men who 

 know the apple business and who re- 

 alize its importance to the Northwest. 

 President Hill promises plenty of 

 amusement features and liberal enter- 

 tainment programs, but he wisely in- 



sists that first, last and always this 

 shall be an Apple show. 



Since the first National Apple Show 

 was horn in Spokane in 1908, it has 

 been a big factor, if not the biggest 

 factor, in drawing the world's atten- 

 tion to the wonderful adaptability of 

 the Northwest to the production of 

 the apple. At first the show was held 

 largely to advertise this fruit and to 

 encourage its consumption. This was 

 during the time of the big carload dis- 



plays, a feature which has never been 

 attempted by any other apple exposi- 

 tion. Along with the advertising came 

 the conventions of fruit growers and 

 fruit shippers who annually have met 

 for the exchange of ideas and who 

 have constantly labored for a higher 

 standard of commercial apple grow- 

 ing, until now the Northwest virtually 

 sets the pace for the entire country in 

 fruit excellence. This feature alone 

 has made the National Apple Show in- 

 valuable. 



Marketing problems have grown 

 even as the apple orchards have in- 

 creased. They are far from solution 

 yet but recent years have proven the 

 futility of several marketing attempts, 

 while at the same time they have 

 proven the value of others. The ideal 

 method is yet to be evolved and the 

 annual conferences at the National 

 Apple Show are most helpful in this 

 respect. 



The National Apple Show has al- 

 ways been a money loser. The people 

 of Spokane expect it always will be. 

 No such an exposition can be held on 

 so big a scale, give the prizes which it 

 does to stimulate competition and fur- 

 nish such big entertainment programs 

 without being conducted at a loss, be- 

 cause it is impossible to charge an ad- 

 mission price which will bring suf- 

 ficient return to meet receipts and be 

 within reach of the general pubic. But 

 the people of Spokane believe the Ap- 

 ple Show is a big advertising asset to 

 the community and they realize that 

 it brings much business to the city, 

 indirectly making returns for the 

 money they cheerfully put up each 

 year. Consequently they are backing 

 the Tenth National Apple Show with 

 the same optimistic spirit that has 

 characterized the nine previous ex- 

 hibitions.
