FIRST OF ITS KIND
The Men Behind II

Among the stockholders are many
of the leading business men of this
city along with a number of the best
known and most extensive fruit
growers in the county. Another ad-
vantage that is bound to prove Of
great value to the patrons of the COM
pany is the fact that in practically
all Of the largest fruit and produce
markets of the country there are
men who are numbered among the
stockholders of the Colorado Com
mercial company This fact is bound
to bring beneficial results, for the in
terests of the company and its pat
rons will necessarily be more care
fully guarded on a market overshad-
owed by the watchful eye OF some in
auentlal man or men who has
or have direct interest in the
company than on a market where
there are no such interested persons.
VIII Buy Outright.
One of the most important plans
of the company and one which is en-
tirely original in this valley, is en-
bodied in the announcement that the
company will buy fruit and produce
direct from the grower, that is buy
his product outright. paying him the
cash when the produce or fruit, etc.
is delivered f. o. b. Grand Junction
and the company handling the fruit

words the fruit grower may sell his
fruit direct to the Colorado CONNER
cial company and that ends the tran
sactlon as far as he is concerned.
Scores of fruit men and growers to
whom this plan has been explained
have expressed the opinion that it
Will prove Immensely satisfactory to
the grower.
However, the company announces
that it win also handle fruit on com
mission at the same time 1t is to
be entirely optional with the grow
er or ranchman as to whether he dis
poses of his product outright to the
company or turns II over to them to
be sold at the best prices possible on
the commission basis. Both plans
will be followed right along.
VIII Deal with All.
Another feature out of the ordin-
airy for this section will be the fact
that a grower or farmer will not have
to hold one or more shares of stock
in the company in order to get the
company to handle his product. The
company proposes to do business
with every body prepared to deal with

sociation but is a concern catering to
/ the fruit interests and ready to deal
with every grower in the valley or
/ in the territory which 1t covers.
/ VIII Have a Big Packing Plant.
/ One of the most important depart
meuts of the company will be its
/ extensive packing facilities. 1t ex-
| poets to pack immense quantities of
| fruit each season and to do this will
erect and equip the finest series OF
packing houses ever put in operation
in Colorado. \ grower can sell his
fruit either packed or unpacked to

In this connection 1t would be wei
to note that this department of tn,
