cepting such time rs shall be necessary
FOR ME to close up personal affairs and
such business OF my customers which
remains unfinished at the present time

press my heartfelt thanks to all those
who have entrusted their business to me
in the past. 1t has been greatly appre
ciated as has also the good wishes of our
many friends for our welfare in our new

has been made with reluctance, but the
change was decided upon after a
considerable time had been spent not
only in investigating the fruit districts
of the west, and Creswell, and the
Willamette Valley in particular, but also
after careful and rigorous investigation
of the company and men who are to be
my business associates in the future so

best interests of myself and family,
