A stranger in town, Monday, felt an
appetite for Hood River apples, OF
which he had heard. He made the
rounds of the stores, found oranges piled
up in windows, but not an apple could
he find for sale. Hundreds OF boxes OF
apples are brought to town every day
and shipped to distant parts, but very
few find their way to local stores for re-
tail trade. There might be q chance
for some honest farmer to dispose OF Il
few boxes Of apples right here at home.
Bring along your Ben Davis. Apples,
apples all around us, but not an apple
to eat.
