FORTUNES HAVE ALREADY
BEEN MADE AT IM'DLER
AND THERE ARE MORE TO
COME.
Taking into consideration the fact that Imbler's
fruit section has never had proper organization until
thi3 Spring; that it has nsver had advertising along
a regular campaign line; that the fruit has been sold

taking into further consivieiat'cn that the orchard
area has not been over)y large until now, it is of some
consequence to know that several snug fortunes have
already been cleaned up by orchard men. 'K 1 .
. iThe Laidlaw purchase netted the owner a good re
turn. In fact it was a deal that received prominence
all over the West. 1 Other smaller transactions have
shown profit to land owners.
Are You in the Market for
a Good Investment?
When we say, "are you in the market for a good
investment?" we do not mean have you $50,000 to
invest. Not by any means, for the average investor
invests his savings. Under the plans of fairness and
equity which have been adopted in the Imbler dis
trict it is possible for the man or woman with a few
hundred dollars to handle an orchard tract. A tract
that will increase in value from the date of purchase
and one that will net the owner big returns if it is
held. The orchard planting plan relieves the invest
or frQm all care of his land except to go out occasion
ally and look it over if he so desires. .
And when you go to the Imbler district to look
over your tract that has been carefully planted and
cultivated you cannot help then feeling the import
ance of your investment
Fruit land is the one investment now on the mar
ket for the small investor that is absolutely sure of
returns. All you need to do is to select an honorable
concern with standing to handle your tract.
Those having good fruitland investment offerings
in the Imbler district are: '
