A good orchard on the right kind of land is very attractive. The right kind o f an orchard will prove a bonanza; the wrong kind is sure^to prove a “ white elephant” on the owner’s hands. A man who is not in touch with the orchard business cannot put you right on the proposition any more than a blind man can lead a blind man. I f you want to avoid getting left with a “ white elephant” on your _ hands, do business with the Rogue River Land C om pany. Medford. Oregon. They are in touch with the or chard business, thoroughly fa miliar with every tract in the valley, know what each district is best adapted for, and they will see that you are put right in every instance. Every man who has ever bought through this agency can sell to-day for a great advance over his purchase price. This is e n d o r s e m e n t enough.
