CIDER FACTORY
FOR HOOD RIVER


to locate at Hood River Sam p.
Jones, vice president of Jones Bros. Il
Co., manufacturers of cider and vine
gar at Louisille, KY, was in the city
one day last week, and outlined his
proposition to Mr.. Blanchar, presi-
dent of the Hood River Comercial
club.
A meeting of the members Of the
Comercial club was held Monday even
ing, when the subject was informally
discussed. The proposition met with
favor with the business men, it being
recognized as an excellent opportunity
for the fruit growers to dispose of
their second grade fruit, much Of
which now goes to waste, but which,
If carefully handled, could be made
a paying by-product of the orchard
and berry fields.
1t Is expected that Mr.. Jones will be
here later to present the matter in
person to the people of Hood River.
The date and time of meeting will be
made known, and every farmer in the
valley is invited to be present and
hear what Mr.. Jones has to offer
them. His proposition as presented
to Mr.. Blanchar was substantially as
follows
