thousand boxes a day, saving the la

Practically the eniiro packing 'pro

Bardwell plant this year. The me
chanical equipment will consist of
Cutler grading machines, Doig bo.J

gravity roller and conveyor systems.
With this .equipment the Hardwell
company will have one of tlio finest
equipped packing and cold storage
plants on tho Pacific coast, and will
ho able to efficiently handle their
fruit in every respect.
During the past BeasCn their
equipment and general organization
has enabled theni to put up a prem

ed 1y tho record prices they received
on their pear sales this past season.
Mrs. Skartvedt is the star contralto
soloist of the Seattle Temple chorus,
a musical organization famed tlmi
ont the country. As a musician it
rare accomplishments, she Is noted
for the ease and grace with which she
sings. Possessing a voice of unusual
ly rich tone quality, and herself ut
terly devoid of affectation, she sings
as naturally as a bird in the spring
time. Her ability may ho J,udged by the
fact that she. wan offered one of the
prominent musical parts in "The
