and all eastern markets; but at Chi
cago and east all shipments go tc
the auctions. 1t is Mr.. Foy's busi
ness to keep in touch with all east
ern markets and to place the fruit
where the best results can be OBJ
tanned.
One thing showing the advantage
of having a branch office at Omaha
is this; Mr.. Foy may secure and
does secure frequently orders by wire
from Iowa, Nebraska or some other
middle west market for a quick de-
livery of fruit. He at once gets busy
and if he catches car of the asso-
citation fruit going through that will
not be too ripe before 1t reaches its
, far eastern destination, if he finds
car rolling that is unsold, he at
once appropriates it and fills the or
der promptly.
The large volume of business
transacted by the Grand junction
Fruit Growers Association enables

its numerous shipments from the
time every Tar leaves the Grand val
ley until it reaches its destination,
and If it is lost or delayed the as
sociation quickly finds out "the why
and the where"
The home office handles all the
business in the south and all west of
Omaha.
AS a result of the loyalty of the
members. the unequalled manner in
which the association management
handles the fruit and the splendid
success and high competency of the
management itself, and the natural
and developed peerless quality of the
fruit, 1t can be said without fear of
contradiction that the fruit sold by
the Grand Junction Fruit Growers
Association and raised in the Grand
valley commands the highest prices
paid or ever paid for apples, peaches,
pears. cantaloupes and other temper
ate zone fruit. This is broad state

the remarkable profits of the Grand
Valley fruit growers. The manage
ment. knowing that it has the best
qualified fruit in the country, goes
after the best prices and gets the best
prices. Every market is kept in close
touch. Nearly every season Manager
Moore makes extended visits through
many states to all the principal mar
kets and ''shows the buyers" how
and why we have the best fruit and
why we deserve and will have the
best prices.
