gram from the manager of the show.
The troupe was somewhere in Mis-

past several years. We believe that
we have shown you conclusively that
Washington is looked to to produce
very large portion of the total apple
yield of the United States. We
know the average mans idea Of the
geography of Washington is in no
sense limited and in consequence are
aware of the fact that you, our read
ers. know, as we do, that the apple
growing section Of the state of Wash
ington is limited to very few thou
sand acres. We have rehearsed to
you the probable acreage of the state
of Washington, and in consequence,
we all of us know that every avail
able acre of this section must be
brought under cultivation in the next
few years to meet the demand.
Wenatchee and the surrounding
territory has been developed. We
have most of US taken part in this
work and many of us have reaped
rich harvest. It is high time that
we turn our efforts to raw lands and
Increase our capital for ourselves as
well as those who follow us, and in
this direction we offer the Methow
Valley for your consideration as the
next best field for development. We
say the next best field because we feel
certain in our minds We are correct,
as do those who have seen II, includ
ing many of our prominent business
men in Wenatchee and Whereabouts,
together with apple growers from all
over the United States, and fruit ex-
perts, among whom are Mr.. Van Hol-
derbeke and Mr.. Thornber.
Let US touch, first Of all, on the
physical conditions existing in the
Methow Valley, and in this direction,
allow us to advise you that the val
ley has 10000 acres of irrigable land,
a fruit belt As miles long, an average
elevation of from 1900 to 1400 feet,
q maximum width OF 2 miles, a high
line ditch carrying 10000 gallons OF
water per minute, furnishing to our
clients two inches Of water to the

matter Of fact, one can live In the
Methow Valley for a great deal less
than in most sections, and at the same
time double his money.
It is our sincere desire to publish
in a frank, open and unbiased way,
the possibilities of this valley. We
have been working on our irrigation
bitches for some three and half
years and in this time have water
on practically every tract of land un-
der our ditch The land has been on
sale very short time. Each day sees
the public more and more interested
and with the sale of each tract your
chance is impaired insofar as a Sc
lection of that particular tract Is con-
cerned. Time is money and each
week from now on will see the prices
showing higher and higher. We have
no hesitancy in saying that before
snow flies we will have the prices at
least double what they are today, and
we will sell the land at the advanced
prices as it is in demand and those
who know good fruit lands will buy
as they are doing today.
1t is said that opportunity knocks

took advantage of one grand oppor-
tunity and other deferred until 1t was
100 late. One investor alone has put
800. 900 into the Methow within the
last few days, simply as an invest
ment for his son. True he has let's OF
money and can well afford to wait,
but we consider this sale quite an
achievement insomuch as the man is

success and knows with all surety
Just what he would do. The success
In, man is fair criterion. Are not
these actions worthy of your eonsid-
Grafton? Don't you who know what
Wenatchee is, feel that there are 9TH
er sections whose future will be
equally great If not greater In the
near future?
To those who were addressed per-
sonally in our yesterdays advertise
ment and to those addressed In the
future, let US suggest that you drop
In and see us at your earliest conven-
fence, and let us talk with you. If

acre, will make the Methow equally
successful. The conditions existing in
the two valleys are practically iden-
teal. We will have planted 1900
acres to trees before we see our next
snow.
Consider the great tonnage these
trees will yield aside from those we
will plant in thes pring. You can not
you have set aside will yield enor-
nous returns. Buy land where we
will deliver water to the highest point
of the land in our bitches. Don't
you believe in your ability? See our
land as others have done. Did you
make the money you have to invest or
was it left to you? The chances are
you male it. If your capital is small
we will put our lands within your
reach and if you should pass away,
we will cd the land to your family,
we simply insuring your life and pay
ing for it. And furthermore, if you
should have trouble in securing
money for other payments, we will
lend you money on the land for which
you have contracted. There is a rea-
son people are buying land in the
Methow. The land is right, we treat
the public right and the opportunity
is there. If you are unable to care
for the land, we will plant it for you.
This is bringing the opportunity to
your door. Large bodies move slow
~, but in the Methow they are NOV
ing wonderfully fast. This is an in
vestment, large or small, with but few
equals. A man is dead long time,
his opportunity lies in today. Oppor-
tunity and nerve spell success. The
man who wills is the man who wins.
Are you the man who Wills, 1t is for
yourself to decide.
AS We said before 1t isn't necessary
to go and see the Methow. Ask those
who have seen 1t. 1t is simply case
of are you tired of looking on Here,
take this bankers. opinion. Plant 80
trees to the acre, average yield from
s to Is year old trees. 400 boxes to
the acre at 800 per box makes $500
gross on an acre of land. Cut the
gross in two for expenses and you will
have 5000 per acre. This will pay for
an acre in one year The difference
between our prices and the figures
given will represent forum on 10
acre tract. Five acres Is enough.
twenty acres fortune. Look up the
records of the Methow apple at the
Apple Show last year. You will see
why the Methow Is right. You will
no longer envy the lucky investor in
apple lands. you will become an own
er yourself You will have made up
your mind that the basis of all for
tunes is real estate. 1t will not be
necessary for us to remind you of
prices in Wenatchee five years ago
You will not be following the crowd
after the good things are gone. No

centage of potash and phosphates. It
varies in depth from three to forty

Quite an amount of the lower

these lands are very level and will
