BETTER FRUIT 



Page 35 



Fruit must be handled quickly — 



Prompt shipment and a minimum of han- 

 dling are necessary to deliver fruit in the best 

 condition. A Mathews Gravity Roller Con- 

 veyer will save not only time and handling 

 but it will save labor as well. 



GRAVITY ROIil^ CONVEYER 



The sections of steel ball bearing rollers 

 can be set up in portable units or permanent 

 systems. Just a man or two at each end for 

 loading and unloading — gravity supplies the 

 power. Boxes and crates glide quickly and 

 smoothly over the rollers, straight ahead, 

 around corners, to any point you wish. 



Curves, switches and other special devices 

 make the Mathews System adaptable to prac- 

 tically every need. Upkeep is negligible be- 

 cause of the unusually sturdy construction. 



In almost every line of business Mathews 

 Conveyers are paying for themselves in labor 

 and time saved. Find how they can help 

 you. Write for our illustrated literature which 

 gives full details.

•SUPPORT OREGON FOOD FACTORIES" 1 



Dehydration Develops Agriculture 



To support dehydration every grower of vegetables and fruit in Oregon and Washington should 

 be vitally interested in growing vegetables as a business and not as a side line 



Dehydration removes an average of nine-tenths of the water contained in vegetables and fruits, and thereby eliminates the great barrier existing 

 against long-distance vegetable shipments. Oregon and Washington's climate is ideal for growing vegetables of the highest quality and now, 

 with this big freight obstacle overcome, we are ready to introduce Oregon and Washington quality vegetables to the markets of the world. 



You, Mr. Farmer 



having a clear vision of the future, must know that Western Oregon 

 and Washington have a wonderful industry before them in fruit and 

 vegetable growing. Are you considering the opportunities open 

 for you, and if so why not commence now to support the establish- 

 ment of this great new industry? Our first requirement is that you
