Statement of the Ownership, Management, Circulation, Etc. 



Required by the Act of Congress of August 24, 1912,

State of Oregon, ) 



County of Multnomah, J '"'• 



Before me, a notary public in and for the state and county aforesaid, personally 

 appeared Z. C. Seabrook, who having been duly sworn according to law, deposes and 

 says that she is the publisher and business manager of "Better Fruit," and that the fol- 

 lowing is, to the best of her knowledge and belief, a true statement of the ownership, 

 management (and if a daily paper, the circulation), etc., of the aforesaid publication 

 for the date shown in the above caption, required by the Act of August 24, 1912, 

 embodied in section 443, Postal Laws and Regulations, printed on the reverse side of this 

 form, to-wit : 



1. That the names and addresses of the publisher, editor, managing editor, and busi- 

 ness manager are; 



Publisher, Better Fruit Publishing Company, Portland, Oregon. 

 Editor, Z. C. Seabrook, Portland, Oregon. 

 Managing editor, Z. C. Seabrook, Portland, Oregon. 

 Business manager, M. R. Seabrook, Portland, Oregon. 



2. That the owners are: (Give names and addresses of individual owners, or if a 

 corporation, give its name and the names and addresses of stockholders owning one per 

 cent or more of the total amount of stock.)

 Estate of E. H. Shepard, Portland, Oregon. 



3. That the known bondholders, mortgagees, and other security holders owning one 

 per cent or more of total amount of bonds, mortgages, or other securities are: (If there 

 are none, so state.) None. 



4. That the two paragraphs next above, giving the names of the owners, stockholders 

 and security holders, if any, contain not only the list of stockholders and security 

 holders as they appear upon the books of the company, but also in cases where the 

 stockholder or security holder appears upon the books of the company as trustee or in 

 any other fiduciary relation, the name of the person or corporation for whom such 

 trustee is acting is given; also that the said two paragraphs contain statements em- 

 bracing afTiant's full knowledge and belief as to the circumstances and conditions under 

 which stockholders and security holders who do not appear upon the books of the com- 

 pany as trustees, hold stock and securities in a capacity other than that of a bona fide 

 owner; and this aflianl has no reason to believe that any other person, association, or 

 corporation has any interest direct or indirect in the said stock, bonds, or other securities 

 than as so stated by her. 



5. That the average number of copies of each issue of this publication sold or dis- 

 tributed through the mails or otherwise, to paid subscribers during the six months
