Where will the 

 Apples Go 



Within ten years — even five years — the yield of 

 apples in the great Northwest will have increased 

 greatly over the present output. Some say 100 per 

 cent — some say more. 



Will the consumptive demand show a sufficient 

 increase to take care of the surplus? 



If not, what will become of the apples? 



Oh, yes, this is theory, but just wait and see if it 

 isn't a matter worthy of serious consideration. 



We don't pretend to offer any suggestions beyond 

 the strenuous efforts we have been making to expand 

 the trade in box apples to the maximum. This season 

 we have handled successfully over 1,200 cars, which 

 have been shot to the four points of the compass. 

 That is selling some apples, when you come to think 

 it over — and we want to emphasize the fact that we 

 have put all this vast array of fruit in line for "con- 

 sumptive channels" wdth the least possible delay and 

 expense and with quite general satisfaction to growers 

 and buyers as well. 



But what of next season, and the next? 



We're thinking and planning. It is a matter of 

 serious concern to us, this SUCCESSFUL marketing 

 of Western Box Apples, as well as other fruits. 



Those interested in getting the most for the present 

 and the best for the future out of their ranches and 

 orchards should not delay writing us about marketing 

 their output the coming season, as well as hereafter.
