the confidence of our commission men

we believe in the possibilities of our
Maine grown apples. We have the
best of soil. as good a climate as can
be found. for many choice varieties
and one of the best markets of the

not Maine lead in this important in
dustry that means so much to the
health as we'll as profit TO our poo.
