Splendid Local Product


There is on exhibition in a window
of the Yakima National bank a box
of apricots evaporated by the Yakima
Evaporating company of which c. r..
Norton is the manager. The fruit
has attracted a great deal of atten-
ton as it looks appetizing and un-
doubtedly is good. Its appearance is
a recommendation and the sample
shown is declared to be fair illus
tration of what the plant is accom-
plishing. Beyond the shadow of d
doubt the evaporator and the can
merry are destined to play an import
ant part in the future of fruit in this
valley and therefore all growers
should make it a point to see what
the first local plant is accomplishing
in the way of processing the fruits
grown in the home orchards.
