Demonstration Plant will be Built in Oregon in Early Summer 

 Produces Finest Quality of Prunes, Apples and Other Fruits 



We have considered the problems of the fruit 

 growers of Oregon and are preparing to demon- 

 strate how they may be solved. 



We expect to build a plant of commercial capa- 

 city in the heart of the prune district of Western 

 Oregon in the early summer. 



Pacific Evaporator is the need of the Oregon 

 growers. It is the best in the market and will 

 enable you to produce the best quality, get the 

 maximum quantity and insure success. 



You can build your own evaporator. 



Rigfht to build and operate, including plans and 

 specifications, are for sale by Pacific Evaporator 

 Company. Write for detailed information. 



With these directions and the instruction of our 

 superintendent, who will come to your ranch and 

 explain to you or your contractor how to proceed, 

 you can build for yourself, using your old mate- 

 rials, old buildings, surplus lumber, anything. 



The construction is simple and inexpensive. 



Or we can arrange to have sent to you a com- 

 plete unit or units, practically all materials cut to 

 size, with the same superintendence. 



The heating plant will take almost any kind of 

 fuel— oil, wood, coal, distillate. The complete con- 

 trol of the temperature and the circulation of air 

 through the drying compartment enables the oper- 

 ator to prevent any harm to product under course 

 of evaporation by holding sufficient humidity or 

 running dry air, as the ease may demand. 



We would advise you not to take up any other 

 plan until you have investigated ours. 



If you will write now, stating variety of fruit 

 and tonnage, we will give you an estimate of your 

 needs. When the plant is built in Oregon we 

 will notify you and make an appointment for an 

 inspection. 



Pacific Evaporator will efficiently dry any fruit 

 or vegetable. 



It will appeal particularly to the prune men. 



We recommend it to the numerous growers of 

 Italian prunes in Oregon. 



The owners of Pacific Evaporator are thoroughly 

 familiar with the handling of the Italian prune. 

 They have planted several orchards in California 

 and half of these are devoted to this variety. 



Pacific Evaporator will greatly improve the 

 quality of your product and inei-ease your output. 



John T. Wann, inventor of the Pacific Evapor- 

 ator, was raised in Oregon, and is familiar with the 

 needs of the orchardists of that state. He is also 

 thoroughly familiar with the various types of 

 evaporators now in use in Oregon. 



Pacific Evaporator has proved successful in the 

 prune districts of California. It has been used for 

 years and has proved itself capable of quality pro- 

 duction in commercial quantities. 



As to quality, the prune, evaporated by this 

 process, has proved itself superior to, and has sold 

 at a premium over the famous sun-dried fruit of 

 California. 



Pacific Evaporator will give you a product that 

 will command premium prices and the expense will 

 be less to you than by any other method. 



Professor W. V. Cruess of the Agricultural Ex- 

 periment Station, University of California, speak- 

 ing of evaporators and their advantages at a fruit 

 growers' convention in Chico, said: 



' ' The most beautiful dried prunes that have ever 

 come to my attention were dried by the Wann 

 brothers of Healdsburg." 



The prunes to which he referred had been dried 

 by the evaporator invented by John T. Wann, now 

 known as Pacific Evaportor.
