AS the reporter walked down the

President Holcomb of the

do so at satisfactory prices. When
approached by reporter of the Daily

that the quality of the Wenatchee
apple this year is superb. He thinks,
however, that the tendency of the
prices is to reach a figure at which
the buyer runs the risk of suffering
losses, the same as was quite general
last year.
'Is $3.50 box too much for Jona-
thans?" he was asked.

prices as low as that" replied the
apple man. Evidently he was sorry
he made the last remark, for in the
next sentence he attempted to cor
