SEATTLE A GOOD MARKET FOR
FRUIT AND VEGETABLES.
Produce Man Who Knows His Bush
ness.

That Washington is country devoted
to agriculture and the raising of high
class fruits and vegetables is an ac-
knowledged fact. Fortunes are being
who make specially in raising fruits
and vegetables that are quick sellers on
the market in all large cities.
Seattle is good market for these
farmers and the city is well supplied
with produce men. The question that is
before the truck-farmer and the fruit
raiser is where he can best place his
produce. He wants to get the best price
for his vegetables and fruit, he wants
to know that the man he is dealing with
is honest and conscientious, that he will
place his shipments where they will
bring the largest returns.
Such a place is we'll represented in w.
H. Jones & Co., SIS Western Ave. The
readers of the Ranch well know that
what we recommend can be relied on IN
every sense of the word. But we don't
want our readers to take our word for
this, we will state few facts that
should convince the most doubling:
One of the most important assets, to
concern is their reputation. w. H.
mercial house in the cityef Seattle as
a firm where a verbal contract is as good
as a bond. They never agree to do
thing that they are not fully prepared
to carry out in every detail.
That they are in d position to handle
n large contract is very evident from
the fact that they have the largest floor
space in the city, for produce men.
Their sales force is composed of men
who "know how" Each salesman is
master in the art of selling. They make
no claims that they can't substantiate
for the reason that they buy only the
very best and can therefore state with
conviction that what they sell Is the
best.
The fact that they do not buy from
Tom Dick or Harry is sufficient evil
dence of what class of trade they cater
to.
Another point in their favor is their
financial standing. Don't take our word
for this, look them up in either Dun or
Bradstreet or write any of the banks OF
Seattle. However, for your benefit and
in case you are willing to take our word
for. 1t, we will say that any promises
they make to you will be carried out
as agreed They pay for what they
buy and pay prompt
Now let us say a few words that Will
convince you that Seattle is the place to
ship your produce and fruit.
That Seattle has population of $780,
900. is a positive fact. Now consider
how much produce is consumed daily by
these 100000. 1t is claimed that there
are 10000 added population monthly in
Seattle. OF course you can cut this con-
siderably to be conservative, but even
considering that there is only an in
crease of 1000 population monthly in
Seattle you will easily see what this
means to the sales of produce.
Another point in favor of Seattle is
the fact that it is generally admitted
that the people seldom question the
price, they are after quality.
In a nutshell, this is the condition of
affairs that makes Seattle the place for
you to ship your produce and w. II.
Jones the firm you should deal with.
w. H. Jones pays the highest price for
produce; you always know that you get
your money when promised; w. H. Jones
& Co. sell only the very best and deal
only with highest class trade; their sales
force is the best that can be had; they
are as strong financially as any bank.
Seattle is the largest city on the
coast, that means quantity to sell to;
the people of Seattle are quality buyers
and pay we'll for what they get, that
means good prices for what you have
to sell.
Make your next shipment to W. II.
Jones & Co, let this be trial if you
wish, but rest assured that you will not
be disappointed in them
Write them if you will for informa-
ton; they are always glad to answer
