HORACE T. DeLONG.

In every community there are GER
tain staunch. substantial citizens who
possess the full confidence of their fell
lows; men who by their mature ex-
perience and unquestioned good char
acter are the backbone. as it were, of
the place where they reside. Horace
I. DeLong is a man who may well be
regarded as citizen of this type.
He has lived in Grand Junction since
1886. During his residence here he
has been a prime mover in all good
causes. From the beginning he has
been engaged in the real estate bust
ness. That success and prosperity
that come with a reputation for hon
esty and correct business principles he
has enjoyed.
Mr.. DeLong was born and reared in
Iowa. There he received his educa.
tion in the grammar and high schools
and later in Central University; after
which he came to Colorado to seek his
fortune. During his residence in
Grand Junction Mr. DeLong has time

and again been honored by his fellow
citizens. In society. church and fra
ternal circles his good qualities have
been recognized. He has held many
offices and always filed them worthily.
Last fall he was elected state senator
from the district which includes Mesa
and Delta counties. He is at present
immigration commissioner and gives
prompt attention to all inquiries from
prospective settlers and Others
Not only in real estate but also in
loans and insurance has Mr. DeLong
won wide patronage. Investors have
always felt that they could make no
mistake in consulting him. Properties
left in his charge are conscientiously
and wisely cared for. Increasing bus
iness demanded larger quarters so that
Mr.. DeLong last year removed from
the Canon block to the building, 553
Main street, next to the county court
house. This building Mr.. DeLong

THE FRUIT GROWERS ASSOCIATION
F..
Official Report OF the Manager for 1902.

Houston and other points and we
have received satisfactory prices for
our apples; i'll the city of New York
alone We have had ten cars that have
brought us from 60 to 20 cents a box
net for Ben DAVIS, and it seems to me
that we should be satisfied with these
prices when we know it to be fact
that owing to the large competition
in eastern and middle states the fruit
grower did not attempt to market
anything except his best No. / stock.
The Association is to be congratu-
lated Oh its success in creating a pay
ing market for the potato crop. Po-
tatoes are now profitable crop for
the grower Freight rates on pota-
toes have been secured that enable
us to compete with other Colorado
markets for the trade outside of the
state. Furthermore, we can raise As
good potatoes here as can be raised
anywhere so that there is no reason
why we should not come to the front
as a potato growing country.
Our commission business has pro,
ed profitable to the Association. We
handle oranges, lemons, butter, eggs
and kindred produce and supply a
large trade in the nearby towns, as
we'll as in Grand Junction.
The packing house belongs to the
association but is really conducted by
the Board of Directors The expense
of operating it is paid by those pat
ronizing the institution. This de-
partment has proven itself of great
service. BY means of its help we
are able to place upon the market
wise be given. There are many new
growers i'll the valley. These new
people want to put up their fruit
properly but do not know how, so
many see the need of the packing
house and patronize the same. In
connection with these good words for
the packing house we wish to say that
it has been operated the past season
in such a way as to have neat little
sum placed to its credit in the column
of profit.
Referring TO the earnings, 1 am
glad that we are able to show such
good returns to the stockholders who
have their money in this business;
these earnings probably look large to
some of you, in fact they are large con-
sidering the amount of capital invest
ed but when you consider the volume
OF busines; done it is very SMALL less
than 21a per cent. Our Association,
as business proposition, is certainly
something for every grower to be
proud of; six years ago, when l be-
came your manager, the capital was
less than 50, 600 and the membership
less than 100; today the capital is over
S26, 600 and the membership over 300.
1 have taken advantage Of ev-
cry opportunity to learn all possible

about other associations, and can
state truthfully, that there is not an
other in the country that will COM
pare favorably with ours.
Now i'll conclusion, gentlemen,
wish to thank you one and all for the
courteous manner in which you have
transacted your business with me the
past season
Respectfully,
JOHN F. MOORE, Manager.

GET STRONG
VinoI Makes Weak
People Strong.
WE GUARANTEE IT WILL
DO SO.
WE KNOW OF NO TONIC OR RE-
BUILDER LIKE IT.
vinol does create strength

Vinol does create strength.
We know that and have proved it in
many instances.
The reason Vino1 rejuvenates and
strengthens a person is that it acts
directly upon the stomach, strengthen
ing and toning up this great vital organ
and enabling it to obtain for itself,
from the food that is taken into it, the
elements which are required to make
firm healthy flesh and muscle tissue,
sound bone structure and pure healthy
blood.
Vinol does this in scientific way
and is enabled to do it because it con-
tains, dissolvedin delicate mild wine,
in a highly concentrated state, the act
i've principles of cod-liver oil.
Vinol does not contain any of the
grease that formerly characterized cod
liver oil, hence is free from all the OBJ
iectionable features which made it inn
possible for patients to take or retain
that vile-smelling remedy into their
stomach.
Vinol in its favorable action upon
the stomach and other organs of the
body acts also in beneficial way upon
the nerves and brain, and will be
found to be invaluable to brain workers
as well as body workers.
The following letter is from a we'll
known authoress. It reads as follows:
ST wish to acknowledge the receipt
of the Vinol and testify to its great
benefits. Since taking it L am much
improved in health, and during the in-
tense heat of last August should not
have been able to continue in my liter
airy work if it had not been for the
strengthening properties of Vinol.
Yours in gratitude. ELLA STARR, JOG
W. SD St., N. Y. City.
We wish any one sufferingfrom
weakness, a demoralized con-
dition of the nerves, or a susCep-
tibility to wasting diseases, to
call on us and hear what we have
to say in regard to Vinol.
Try it on our recommendation,
and If you find it does not do
everything we claim for it, we
will gladly refund to you the
amount you have paid US.
