most infinitely increased : for
crops-that eoruld not be .marketed
at aniwithoutjit may; with the aid
of dehydration . go to every table
in the world.
"Dehydration" is not merely a
college-bred word for the world
$ld knowledge and practice . ot
drying fruits and vegetables. Dried
fruits have been known from the
days when the' first crop of dates
hung! on the trees in the Garden
of Eden, and made good eating
alter; the? leaves . had ' fallen for
inter. They '. have tbeen known
in every land, where there Ls fruit
to dry. ; - v ' .;.f
But ' dehydration stands for
rotnethlng. fat' more. It is like
the human relationships; there is
' a respect,: and a conventionality,:
that in. some of its manifestations
may Jook ,lik3 lovef-Mut-anybody
who has expa-ienced them knows

Dehydration-' is-the-patent pro

fruits and -vegetables, by ths rci
entific application bt moderate
heat ad air? circulation s s that
the ff art 'solids retain the quality
of being able to again take up
enough wat;r;?nd be restored 'to
practically - fresh fruit perfection.

their values, in canning.
. A California city.: has made a
furious bid for a . King's process
factory. It was figured that the
fresh crop that was shipped, paid
$4,000,060 In freights. The same
products, dehydrated, would have
cost only $500,000 to market; ana
then they would have the whole
world for purchasers, for tA pro
duct could be shipped everywhere,
without regard to time or distance.
This saving of $3,500,000, proper
ly divided between the producers
and the consumers, j would . mean
prosperity for both; the Californ
ians are demanding the factory .
' The, Salem factory is already
the largest center for dehydration,
in the West. The factory has em
ployed as many as 800 people at
a time," during 1 9 22, Hn preparing

not yet much'.more than scratched,
as to its ultimate producing pos
sibilities: there Is room' for the
huge King's factory that its pro
moters' have dreamed, ! filling ' all
the company's ' grounds In Nortn

Some of the vegetable products
are reduced as t much ' as 95 per.

are reduced at least as much as
60 per cent. Practically all are

A vast national advertising
campaign 'is being, carried on1 to
familiarize the buying housewife
wth King's products. It is a fact
that, with the saving In the cost
of freights, the reduction of de
cay and damage losses to almost
nothing-, and the far greater ef
ficiency of the factory equipment
and labor as compared with the
ordinary household labor in pre
paring fruit or vegetable foods,
that the ' dehydrated products are
much cheaper than fresh products,
especially in the far-off markets.
All they need is acquaintasce.
This the national advertising cam
paign is givng them.
"Salem Vitamines" might well
enough be the label on. every caif
ton of these products. "Eat Sa
lem Vitamines nd Live Longer,"
would be a fact and not a mere
catchy slogan; some remarkable
hospital experiments with. Salem
spinach fed to babies, shows that
the vitamines of this Salem pro
duct actually do possess the power
of life over ' the sick and ailing.
Science has developed the process
for saving these priceless food
products; Salem is privileged to
spread them'to the whole world.
"Do good and be paid for it,"
might well be the motto for the
Salem King products. They jdo

The use of long distance service has grown to be an
indispensable part of business and social life.
To every one frequently there comes the ' necessity
for quick communication to another point, near or far
away. - The Long Distance lines' of The Pacific Tele
phone and Telegraph Company are constructed and the
service designed to meet this public need. The mer
chant needs to communicate with the wholesale houses
in order to replenish' his stock. The fanner needs to
keep in touch with the market in order to sell his crops
to best advantage. Delay to either one means loss, Ev
; ery year new lines are being placed along the highways
of 'trade. Our aim is to make it possible for anyone
to talk; anywhere at anytime. '

PAPER MILL EXPANDS
Will Occupy New Addition
April 1 Adds : Ikftd tine
The new wing of the Oregon
Pulp & Paper company's large
plant at Trade and Commercial
streets will be ready for occupancy
about: April 1, according to
statement made yesterday by A.
u. weyeri, manager. :
This extension will make room
for about 50 new paper machines.
All of this machinery has arrived
and has been put in place for the
.most part.
Bond papers, both In white and
in colors, will be added to the pa
per mill's line of products,, Here
to fore it has confined its sphere
to the wrapping and glassine pa
pers; ' but from -nowion it will
make sulphite bonds for the com
mercial printing trade.
, The company Is doubling the
capacity of its pulp mill, in order
to make possible the greater pro
duction required for the bond pa
persand for the constantly In
creasing demand for its wrapping
papers. The pulp plant has here
tofore had a capacity Of about 60
tons a day. When the additions

are completed, the capacity ;will
be in excess of 100 . tons. Six
months' time will be required to
complete the work.
At present the paper and pulp
mill employs about 2C0 hands.
As it extends its field, it will af
ford emloyment to a constantly in
creasing number of people. It
would not be surprising: if within
the year, the number of employes
reaches the 500 mark. - Important
as it is at present to Salem's in
dustrial scheme, the indications
are that its value is Insignf leant
when (compared , with the import
ance it will attain, when it shall
have completed its program of
extension, which is now well und
er way.
Salem's : industrial growth is
but the forerunner of a tremen
dous development.
