ASHLAND
GROCETERIA
It may not be generally known
but Ashland is today producing
radishes, asparagus and spinach
that goes regularly to Klamath
Falls and to California markets.
The Pierson gardens on the
Boulevard are sending a truck to
Klamath twice a week loaded with
vegetables. When berries come on
they will send them three times a
week They also sell some, but
comparatively little, to local mer
chants.
A. C. Joy not only supplies many
local merchants with produce but
ships regularly by truck line to
California points. He has no
trouble in disposing of all he can
raise. Besides these two the Dels-
man gardens on lower Oak street
produce considerable green stuff
besides selling a large number of
vegetable plants from their green
houses. The Sanders green houses
also, in addition to their flowers
and flowering plants, raise many
vegetable plants for sale.
These plants sell better in Ash
land than in many other cities be
cause of the fact that a large num
ber of the homes have good garden
plots. As the people raise much of
their own stuff it naturally is not
as good a market for green stuff
at the stores as where the same
number of people raise nothing.
Whether or not it would be pos
sible to develop the business on a
larger scale and to seek outside
markets is doubtful, as Ashland is
too far from large centers of pop
ulation.
Ashland does not begin to know
the disastrous effects the slump
had on the berry’ growers and
gardeners near the big cities. The |
market for berries in Washington. I
around Seattle and Tacoma, fell
off to less than ten percent of nor
mal when people were no longer
able to buy. The price, of course
went to practically nothing.
A Miner representative heard a >
local farmer say that Ashland
merchants would not buy local
garden stuff; that they would
rather get it from a distance. The
reporter investigated. (The claim
is made in probably every city in
America. Certainly in every city
in which the writer has worked.)
Every investigation proved about
the same results. Merchants prefer
home products if they can get |
what they want when they want it.
The average American farmer
raises garden stuff, including po
tatoes. winter onions, etc., as a
side line. He takes them to town
only when he has to go to get gro
ceries or have farm machinery re-1
paired, or for some other reason
not otherwise connected with farm
produce.
A merchant handling green
stuff, including fruit, must be sure
he can get the things he can sell
in proper quantities, neither more
nor less. They must be up to grade
and put up attractively.
The loss on perishable groceries
is the heaviest of any class of
merchandise except, perhaps, la
dies’ ready-to-wear. A glance at
the garbage wagon with box after
box of discarded vegetables and
fruits is proof of this.
Every community which has
made a success in any large way
of raising perishable products has
made it by standardization not
only of variety but of quality, and
then has cooperated in marketing
so that growers could enter the
big markets.
HASN’T SOLD OUT!

(WN8)—Prospects
for an increased amount of tourist
travel throughout the Shasta-Cas
cade Wonderland during the com
ing season were forecast here Sat
urday at a meeting of the hotel
and resort units of the Wonderland
association. The meeting which
was held at the Golden Hotel was
well attended and reports of no
ticeable increase in tourist travel
already this year were made by
those present.
The group aproved a hotel and
resort folder for the 1935 season
and a revised may of the Wonder
land area. They also aproved a
newspaper publicity campaign and
discussed trends in tourist requir
ements in this area.

by Mr. and Mrs. George Howard of
Diamond Lake and Mr. and Mrs.
John Holmer of Prospect.
