Among tho numerous Inquiries re
ceived in recent weeks by the Med
ford Commercial club concerning op
portunities for development of local
industries pecularlly adapted to con
ditions in this valley, that of W. S.
Hollls, manufacturer and publisher,
of Everett, Washington, 1b especially
Interesting in that It covers a field
ot more than ordinarily attractive
promise. It pertains to the location
of a plant here for the manufacture
of cider, vinegar, pickets, jams. Jel
lies and evaporated fruits.
The Immense waste in products
from which these articles of com
merce are made is very great in this
valloy. If this waste were converted)
Into marketable by-products, the net
sifting to producers would be very
substantial. This field offers unusual
Inducement for this type of develop
. nient. The establishment of a sut
t flclently large plant here to handle
the waste which is now a total loss,
would add a large industrial enter
prise to the business of southern Ore
gon and enable the farmers to enjoy
an additional profit from work nec
cessarily preformed and on which,
under existing conditions, great loss
Is suffered:
Jjii'Ko OrpinlMillon Promised.
MV. IlolllH, In a somewrat extended
explanation of his purpose, says he
contemplates making an organization
sufficiently comprehensive to operate
factories in different sections of the
fruit and vegetable belts of north
west and equip them with the most
modern machinery for such an output.
He will engage experts in the manu
facture and handling of such products
and each plant will be conducted with
the highest degree of efficiency. This
will enable him to put up attractive
packages under registered trade-mark
and place them on the market In a
strictly sanitary condition.
The Institution will ' maintain its
own selling force, as well as Its own
arehcuses In Portland and Seattle,
thus eliminating the matti.r of deal
ing with commission men and Jobbers,
This v. ill be an added factor in se
curing the best prices for the pro
ducts. It will insure the producers
"better prices for their fruits and veg
etables. " '

"Aside from tho products we will
manufacture, " says Mr. Mollis, -'we
win handle a largo volume of bus!
ness as brokers for salmon packers
of the Puget Sound and Alaska fac
tories and a large amount of business
for dairies and creameries. This will
afford ample returns on business that
will Jostlfy employment of tho most
efficient selling force obtainable, en
abling us to cover the entire country
and do a large export business.
"We will endeuvor to ha'id'.e the
output of canneries and food-pro
bluets plants; ind we will he able to
do so at a saving to them because cf
direct dealla? with the wholesaler.
Operating pur own warehouses wl
bring storage cos: down to the mini
mum and operating plants will give us
a sufficient volume of products to
grade and classify them for top prices.
Dried apples are selling on tho re
tail market nt two pounds for 2
cents ungraded and pr.; up in '
pound boxes. The small drying plants
rocelve about six cents per pound
dealing through the commission man
and jobber; this will enable him to
pay $8 to $9 per ton for raw material
These figures are based on tho pre-
Bent market.
"Putting out a large volume
products will justify our putting u
goods up In neat pacages, and
duce the cost of handling and shfi
ping, making selling easier at better
prices.
"We would like to make our organ
Izutlon sufficiently large to hand!
100,000 tons of raw material, utiliz
es everything in the apple and veg
etable cider and vinegar from pear-
Ings, apple butter from pulp, togcth

matter so that large parts of the low
grade fruits would be taken off the
market, where It now competes with
better grades. thinkers owners o
