We ask you as businesslike fruit growers to read and weigh well every word of this advertisement. We not only think the 

 CUTLER GRADER will save vou money, hut we know it will, because the records of growers using this machine last year prove that 

 thi=; saving ranges between 5 and 7 cent's per box. Many of our customers saved the cost of their machines several times over the first 

 season We not only think it will run successfully without breakdown, but we know it will, because of the experience behmd us. 

 A small wrench and a screwdriver are all the tools you need. There are no complicated parts to be repaired while your men stand 

 idle, no springs to weaken, no vibrating parts to jar loose. , , , ^ , r„,, . • ■ „,„„„» 



Our prinicple is correct for flat, round or long varieties. Every apple is measured cheek to cheek. The accurate sizing almost 

 doubles the output of the packer as proved by a season's averages. Again no guess about this. The tYuit is hainilecl gent y no vio- 

 lent action with liabaility of stem punctures or breakage of stems when handling pears. The CLil^ER (jRAUh,K will nanaie a 

 large output in a small space, and two grades at once, even with the smallest model. The carrier of this machine could size and 

 deliver over 1500 boxes a dav. but the working capacity of anv machine is limited to the volume that can be packed at the bins, this 

 machine has a greater working capacity, size for size, than any other machine on the market. This is chiefly because of the ability 

 to control the delivery of the fruit into the bins, allowing all the packers to get to the fruit even when the variety runs principally to 

 two or three sizes. A machine without this deliveiT control runs a variety of this kind into a few bins. leaving the ot'lfi; '^'"^ useless 

 cutting down the number of packers that can be used. It takes but a moment's adjustment of the CUTLER GRAULR to spread 

 these crowding size-3 into adjacent bins. Our small model is admirably suited for the individual grower. It handles two grades (a 

 vei-y necessarv fe8,ture), is only 16 feet by 7 feet, requires less than % horsepower, and can be enlarged later by addition of sections.

 AFTER A FULL SEASON'S TRIAL 



Hood River. June 20. 1914. 

 Cutler Fruit Grading Machine Co., Hood River, Oregon. 



Gentlemen: Replying to your further inquiry in regard to the 

 gradin.g machine which we bought from you last year, we are 

 pleased to state that it was a splendid success. We experienced 

 •no trouble in operating the machine and the exact records of costs 

 which we have kept for several years show your machine saved 

 5 cents per box. We handled nearly 10.000 boxes in a 30x40 tent, 

 and realize that wit'nout your machine to move the fruit quickly 

 we undoubtedly would have lost heavily from bad picking weather. 

 Your method of sorting the fruit, where the sorter inspects each 

 apple as he places it in the carrier, proved very satisfactory to us. 

 and we believe it to be one of the strongest features of your 

 machine where accurate sorting is desired. The machine, we 

 believe, paid for itself several times over the first season and we 

 wish you every success. Yours truly, DICKERSON & PECK, 

 (signed) W. B.Dickerson.

Dear Sirs: Replying to vour inquiry. I am pleased to state that 

 the machine which you installed in my packing house last fall 

 .saved me from 6 to 7 cents per box. and made it possible to handle 

 a much greater quantity of fruit in the packing room than we 

 could in previous years. The two regular packers whom I employed 

 averaged 121 boxes each in 10 hours through the entire season. 

 These" same packers, working for me the previous year, did not 

 average over 65 boxes each per day. The machine paid for itself 

 several times over in the one season. Very truly yours, (signed) 

 W. B. SHERMAN, Hood River. Oregon.

 Cutler Fruit Grading Mtchine Co.. Hood River. Oregon. 



Dear Sirs: We used one of your double capacity Grading 

 Machines last season from October 1st to January 4th. without 

 anv loss of time, due to the machine, and packed out over 10. 0110 

 boxes. We found that eight men sorting and feeding into the 

 machine brought our daily output up to an average of Soo boxes 

 per dav. when running full crew. We believe your machine to be 

 superior to the other makes that we have seen or used, \ours 

 very truly, (signed) THE HOOD RIVER APPLE & STORAGE 

 CO., Per M. M. Hill.
