BAKER THEATRE Lei Posterity mm Us 99 GEORGE WASHINGTON This famous sentiment, uttered by the Father of His Country at the surrender of Yorktown, is rthe keynote to the argument in favor of investing in orchard land in the fertile Umpqua Valley. An investment made now in an orchard tract in this wonderful fruit land will constitute a legacy to posterity that will provide a home in the most delightful climate and locality in the world and an income of $5,000 a year with less effort and uncer tainty than any other pursuit that can be followed. In the heart of the famous Umpqua Valley, the oldest and earliest fruitr section in Oregon, there is your opportunity to invest now on small pay ments in an orchard that will keep you in luxury the balance of vour life. The fruit-r.aising industry has1 shown a marvel ous growth in the state of Oregon. Her apples are found in all the large markets of the world and bring top prices. Xhe Umpqua Valley broke the world's record this year in production and quality of Spitzenberg apples. One acre produced 1,200 boxes of choicest Spitzenbergs that were sold on the trees at $2 per box.
