BETTER FRUIT 



Page 13 



OKANOGAN 



IRRIGATION AND 

 IMPROVEMENT CO. 



Capital Stock, $^00,000 



Project in the very heart of the justly famous fruit 

 belt of Okanogan County, Washington. 



Over 15,000 acres of irrigated land below the high 

 line ditches of this Company. 



Ten thousand acres of land now under contract, and 

 as much more available for irrigation. 



Two thousand square miles of water shed on mountain 

 streams furnish an abundant supply of water. 



Reservoirs with storage capacity for twice as much water 

 as needed for reserve supply in seasons of possible drouth. 



There is ONLY ONE right way to invest in apple orchards, and that is, to buy in a section that has 

 its reputation firmly established. There is ONLY ONE — 



HOOD RIVER 



That raises the longest keeping apple!! 



That grows the famous Spitzenberg and Yellow Newtown to a perfection grown nowhere else!! 

 That has always had the most eminent pomologists rank its apples as having no equal!! 



And this, too, without irrigation, and in a community renowned for its soc'al refinement, unequaled conveniences 

 and scenic charm. 



Steinhardt & Kelly, of New York, the largest purchasers of fancy packed apples in the world, have this to say 

 of Hood River: 



"Within the shadow of Mighty Mount Hood, where the rain and sunshine meet," there grow the finest and 

 most delicious apples in all the wide, wide world. Every apple picked by hand and packed in the most scientific 

 manner under direct and personal inspection. 



It only needs hasty comparison to prove that Hood River Valley is asking less for good orchards than other 

 localities far less noted and far less profitable. 



WE HAVE TWO EXCEPTIONAL ADJOINING ORCHARDS
