ards and berry fields Then in the
sale of the fruit these lads displayed
the same keen Judgment they did
in the development of their valley.
They sent samples of their fruit to
the larger markets, sent exhibits to
all the shows, put up in the finest
possible condition so as TO present
perfect appearance. This won
every Prize for which they con-
tended. They then told every
man, woman and child the world
over, who could read, just what
they were producing in Hood
River They did this not only
once but did so continuously until
Hood River became a household
word in every nation on earth and
is today more widely and generally
known TO the outside world than is
Portland.
Now, what Hood River has done
in horticulture, the Peninsula may
do in the matter of commerce
and manufacture. Hood River is
no more favorably situated for her
industries than Is the Peninsula for
its interests. The thing for the
realty men, who are the Swamp.
crs" in advance of the army of
home makers, to do, is to adver-
tise 20 the entire world just the
facts about the superiority Of the
Peninsula as home section and
manufacturing center. Do this
persistcntly aud thoroughly Let
the world know that this is the
logical point to which all commerce
from the great Inland Empire OF
the Pacific Northwest is coming.
This can be done at small ex-
pensc to all If these realty men join
together as did the fruit growers in
the Apple City. The first step has
been made. II is now up to the
realty dealers who have not yet
taken membership with the associa-
ton TO make investigation and If
they find conditions satisfactory,
join the bunch and unite all the ell.
crgics aud ingenuity OF the hustlers
of the entire Peninsula in deter
mined effort TO place this favored
section rightly before the people
who are looking for the best place
on earth TO make an investment.
The association cherishes a sin
ccrc feeling of gratelulness TO the
kind-hcartcd, energetic and pro-
grcSsivc ladies of the Peninsula for
their generous donations of carloads
OF roses, many thousands Of which
were distributed To the visitors
along with these booklets.
The success OF the organization
is especially due to the faithfulness,
energy aud persistent efforts of

Peddicord, ]. J. Walter aud others
who spared not time, Inconvenience
or expense To- make winner OF the
proposition aud they succeeded be-
yond their expectations. There
were some mistakes which resulted
in disappointment, but the men In
this institution are cheerful losers
and came up smiling at their last
meeting and acknowledged the
corn; declaring that the lessons
learned by the one or two little
failures in some OF their plans more
than compensated them for their
losses caused thereby. They are
already planning for next years
campaign aud will be on the
ground floor with better equipment
ior advertising the Peninsula than
this year and will undoubtedly
place this territory in a most favor
able light before the public. We
trust every real estate man OF the
Peninsula will identify himself with
the association.
