The Pacific Trait tt Produce
company, one of the big concerns
of the kind In the whole country,
with one of lt leading branches
In Salem, has been growing in- the
past year; has extended ' Its
branches as far as Dallas, Texas.
and Denver, Colorado.
This concern has for Its Salem

at other seasons for storing pota

The Salem branch has been do

years. It Is one of a chain of re-
lated stores, each serving a local
community. The Salem branch
tands well up in the group of 46
stores reaching all the way from

The managers of the Pacific

their business one of real service
to this great district. They are
working: all the time to find mar
kets for what our growers turn off

through service and quality, make
the going easier for the future.
They bring In bananas from

The company wholesales Us

A WHOLESALING AND JOBBING CENTER
Once a year, for nine years, The Statesman in its annual
I Slogan number devoted to Wholesalfnirnd Jobbing, has writ-
ten ana cnecKea up concerning inesc atuvuica
And there has been steady progress.
. There is a constantly growing volume, of business in these
lines here; the established firms have grown and improved
in the quality of their service, and an increasing number of
concerns have entered the field. j'
It is to be expected that this will be the trend indefinitely,
Ji for this is a growing city and section. The growth extends to
Salem vinegar and cider, all lines.
To aid in a symmetrical growth, these activities are re
quired here. There are unoccupied fields. More lines
ought to be represented. J
Our wholesaling and jobbing concerns increase all other
lines of activity here. They link up a "widening territory to"
this city ; establishing Salem as the trading, banking and
forwarding and general trade center . of an ever increasing
number of people living in a constantly enlarging trade terri
tory. ' '
Good roads help in this process of growth,. The enterprise of
an increasing number of men with vision help more. These
men, -while they engage in business primarily to make profits
for themselves, have the satisfaction of. giving employment
to worthy home people ; of helping to make Salem a larger and
solider city; of aiding the men on the land to find markets at
better prices for what they produce and may produce. There
is satisfaction in such service, aside from the mere dollars
that may be made. . r
There is a splendid spit of cooperation growing ud in Salem
