Apple Orchards of Oregon are at
tracting people from all parts of the
globe. Oregon apples bring much higher
prices than those from any other part of
the world, owing to their fine color, flavor
and keeping qualities. The orchardist of
the present day makes more money on
his original investment than the average
business man. Orchards produce on an
average over $500 per acre each year an
equivalent of 10 per cent on a valuation
of $5000 per acre. Statistics prove that 75
per cent of the Eastern people who pur
chase fruit lands in Oregon are conserva
tive, shrewd business men who buy bear
ing orchards ranging in price from $1500
to t2500 per acre. These orchards net the
purchaser from 20 to 50 per cent annually.
However, the man with moderate means
prefers to buy an orchard tract to be
planted and cared for until the orchard
comes into bearing. We offer Woodburn
orchard tracts, 38 miles from Portland,
planted and taken care of for four years
at extremely low figures, giving you five
years' time to pay for the land, besides
we guarantee you a yearly income while
paying for the land. If you intend to
purchase apple land, see our liberal con
tracts, inspect the land, then judge for
yourself. Our offices are open all day
and evenings. Woodburn Orchard Com
pany, Inc., 605-506 Henry building.
