California, handle pineapples in the 

 Hawaiian Islands, and handle huge 

 quantities of dried fruits and even dried 

 beans, all through one organization, all 

 advertised by one brand. Armour & 

 Co., the well-known meat packers, not 

 only handle all classes of meat and meat 

 products, but do a huge business in 

 dairy products, poultry products, grape 

 juice and canned goods, handling 300 

 products with one brand. Montgomery, 

 Ward & Co. and Sears, Roebuck & Co. 

 and similar organizations are paying 

 huge dividends, millions of dollars an- 

 nually, and they handle everything you 

 need in the home or on your farm. The 

 large department store of the city does 

 likewise, the wholesale grocer handles 

 various products. It is the trend of the 

 times. It is the tendency in the United 

 States, in England and Germany, in 

 every big industrial nation. By com- 

 bining these products overhead is re- 

 duced, the volume of business is 

 increased, the force of advertising is 

 enormous. Each product handled ad- 

 vertises the remainder. It is good sound 

 business, and just as sound for a bunch 

 of fruit growers as for a private cor- 

 poration. 



Turn over the pages of the popular 

 magazines; you won't find Oregon ad- 

 vertisements outside of some splendid 

 "Phez" advertisements, some of Hood 

 River apples, or some Skookum apples, 

 little is known concerning Oregon. Yet 

 the word California is found in all these 

 magazines, and has become so well ad- 

 vertised that it is probably the best- 

 known section of the world today, a 

 household word in every home. \\Tio 

 has not heard of Sunkist oranges; when 

 you say Sunkist you mean oranges, and 

 when you see an orange you think of 

 California. The Sunmaid raisin devel- 

 opment has been marvelous. I have 

 been told that they increased the use of 

 raisins in bakeshops alone from 700 

 tons to 30,000 tons in four years, and 

 they have made their growers pros- 

 perous and have stabilized their indus- 

 try. The California prune growers are 

 going to spend $200,000 this next year 

 advertising Sunsweet prunes. How long 

 will it be before the word "Sunsweet" 

 will be the standard for prunes and the 

 one brand that the housewife all over 

 the I'nited States will ask for? 



It is time for us to arouse ourselves; 

 to advertise Oregon's superior products. 



Our prunes will make a wonderful pie. 

 They are large, tender and sulliciently 

 tart for such purposes. Advertising will 

 bring to us the same results that it has 

 to California. Two organizations in 

 California last year received 20,000 let- 

 ters of inquiry from people in the East 

 who had read the advertisements and 

 were interested in making California 

 their home. 



We are going to adopt one brand, this 

 one brand to advertise all the products 

 which we now handle, and that one 

 brand will be advertised freely in such
