The Oakes times., 1911-11-30

IN carloads from Wenatchee each year. That there is
just foundation for this claim found in the fact that
at the first National Apple Show, Wenatchee secured
more prizes than any other community including the
81 900 prize for the best carload exhibit This the
prize most sought for, much account of the
monetary value, for the advertising it would bring
to the grower and to the community.
The Wenatchee Valley proper is the oldest developed
apple country the Great Northern main ne and for
that reason has attained reputation for its fruit, not
enjoyed by every district Not because the other
tons cannot produce it, but for the that they
have not had time to bring their orchards to the
high state of perfection. There about 1000
under the ditch at Wenatchee and idea of the
great change brought about by the magic touch of
can be had when we look back twenty years and find
land worth per that be bought for
$4,000 per today The seemingly prohibtve price
is not the result of boom speculation, but is based
upon the earning capacity of the orchard Upwards of
twenty orchards in the Wenatchee Valley netted their
owner 81 per last year. Seven hundred
dollars net return is frequent occurrence. Five hum
dred dollars per acre is fair of what
year-old orchard, properly cultivated will produce.
Under the plan of working through stock company
and accumulating considerable capital the proposition
be worked much economically and with much
better results and the shareholders, large SMALL
in the best possible position to realize profits their
investment to extent that would be impossible by in
dividua effort
In the meantime, the shareholder is free from any
personal responsibility, and his holdings in
the best possible shape dispose Of should he so de-
sire.
There is every reason to believe that lands will be
in great demand at big prices when the orchards
we'll started. The country tributary Winchester is
being rapidly developed, and there is great upward
movement in values. 1t is reasonably certain that the
lands of this Company will double in value before the
stock is fully paid.
There is investment safe, conservative and
profitable in the long run as land-an of all lands,
nothing compares with the APPLE fruit and alfalfa land
the most famous the world has ever known.
