THE ROGUE RIVER LAND COMPANY
NO. 11 NORTH CENTRAL AVENUE
Offers an especially good foothill orchard for a low
price and on good terms. In these days of advancing
prices, it -vrill pay to look into this.
It pays to deal with the "Man Who Knows. " When
tho Rogue River Land Company sold tho Tronaon is
Guthrie orchard at Eagle Point to the priro winning
owners, four years ago, the salesman, W. M. Holmes,
assured the purchasers those Bpitzenbergtreea would
produce the world's best apples, and subsequent events
prove the soundness of his judgment. By the way:
Did it ever occur to you that most of the men who have
won out in tho Rogue River Valley, bought their win
ning orchards through tho Rogue River Land Com
pany? W. M. Holmes, Manager, is always at your service
for a good buy.
