Why Not Tacoma?

A dispatch from North Yakima announces that the
North Pacific Fruit Distributors association would
open office in Portland to handle the South
western Washington fruit crop.
The question that will naturally arise to the Taco
man u.s. Why not Tacoma2
The answer is simple-Tacoma has no adequate
cold storage facilities.
Last year Superintendent Hall of the Municipal
dock had the Yakima fruit growers practically lined
up to to this city with their distributing head
quarters if the city would put in the municipal cold
storage plant But the private interests got the city
commission up in the Commercial club, hammered
them the heads and abused them until they had
them more or less cowed and then a public clamor
was raised against the municipal cold storage idea.
AS result it was not built. And the Yakima bust
ness is going to Portland
Thousands of dollars of other good business is
going to Portland and Seattle because the city pro-
vides no cold storage facilities here.
If Tacoma wants to stay in the game she will have
to get busy. She has 100000 in the dock fund
Another 100000 would put the finest cold storage
plant the coast at the municipal dock and no city
could compete with Tacoma then.

They are barely three-fourths OF an

The method OF manufacture Is as
follows: First there Is diminutive

So cleverly do the Indians execute
these designs that even through a
powerful glass the details appear to
be perfect, although the work is ac-
complished without the aid OF any
-enlarging device.
