SEE CALIFORNIA 



AND HER TWO 

 GREAT EXPOSITIONS 



NOW 



California is this year holding two great 

 universal Expositions, one at San Francisco 

 and the other at San Diego, in celebration of 

 the completion of the Panama Canal and the 

 joining of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. 

 These two Expositions represent an expendi- 

 ture exceeding one hundred million dollars. 

 To supply the demand for reliable and 

 authentic information on these Expositions 

 and California, we have published two beau- 

 tiful books; one on San Francisco, the Elxpo- 

 sition and Northern California; the other on 

 Los Angeles, San Diego, the Exposition and 

 Southern California; also a lithographed view 

 of San Francisco in colors (size 30x45 inches), 

 a picture of the rebuilt city, including the 

 Elxposition. Each book is 6x9 inches, con- 

 tains nearly 200 pages and many beautiful 

 illustrations. 



These two books and large bird's-eye view 

 give a comprehensive, honest history and de- 

 scription of the state, her principal cities, 

 resources and her two great Expositions. 

 Sent prepaid for 35 cents each or all three for 

 a one dollar bill, money order, draft or check.

and put them on when working in the 

 kiln in any way. 



Now we will suppose the day's work 

 is done and apples are on the kiln and 

 you have a good fire, that is, your fur- 

 nace is red hot and your cold-air drafts 

 about half open. Keep it this way until 

 you wi.sh to retire, or about nine 

 o'clock, when you can open the rest of 

 the cold air and check the furnace for 

 the night; and it would be best for you 

 to stay up a few nights until you learn 

 how to regulate your furnace. You 

 must not have too much heat or they 

 will dry so they will stick fast to each 

 other; also to the floor. In the morn- 

 ing they should be thoroughly wilted 

 when you go to the dryer, which should 

 be as soon as you get up. Now they 

 want turning, w^hich is done with a 

 snow shovel. Start by .shoveling a 

 path across the floor, throwing the 

 apples well across to the other side, 

 then start and fill in the path, keeping 

 them smooth and level. Do the same 

 with the waste; finally back out the 

 door and you will not have stepped on 

 any fruit. It will take about twenty 

 to thirty minutes to turn the kiln, and 

 it should be turned again about the 

 middle of the forenoon and again about 

 noon. This should be enough and they 

 should be ready to come off the kiln 

 anywhere from two to four o'clock. In 

 this dryer the lower story is used for 

 the storage of dried stock; it is shoved 

 off the kiln down a spout that dis- 

 charges on this lower floor. This leaves 

 a pile of warm apples, and they should 

 be spread out to get the kiln heat out 

 of them. They should be shoveled 

 over every day for four or five days, 

 when they will be in good condition 

 and have a spongy feeling, and when 

 squeezed up in the hand will spring 

 back and not remain soggy. Keep each 

 day's drying by itself until cured, then 

 you may put them on the cured stock, 

 which is now ready for the market. 

 Here we have dealers in every town 

 who make it a business to buy these 

 goods, and they are delivered about as 

 fast as a ton is ready, so you see we 

 have a quick market and very little 

 capital is required, but you who have 

 no home market will have to look to 

 some wholesale grocery house, com- 

 mission man or broker. As this busi- 

 ness grows in a locality someone will 

 make it a business to buy this stock 

 and in time you will have a home mar- 

 ket same as we have. Never carry any 

 dried apples over from one season to 

 another, as they will not keep outside 

 of a chemical storage. Sell your goods 

 when they are ready for the market, 

 for you cannot afford to speculate, as it 

 takes lots of money as well as lots of 

 brains. 



From these descriptions any man 

 ought to be able to build and operate 

 a dryer and make good wages and a 

 fair profit for the dryer. Now don't 

 think because a unit-size dryer will 

 give you a profit of ten or fifteen dol- 

 lars per machine that if you build one 

 with fifty-machine capacity you would 

 make fifty times as much, for you 

 would go bankrupt the first season.
