MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOKI), OREGON. SUNDAY. MAY 1. 1932.
WE BELIEVE that the success of the fruit industry in this
Valley rests in the honest effort of the entire community.
Our future lies in our own hands. . The grower is bending
every effort to adjust production costs to present eco
nomic conditions and yet produce the quality of fruit for
which our district is justly famous. We are ready to contribute our
full share. . . . We pledge ourselves to furnish Valley growers our high
standard of pack, our best service and our improved box for forty-five
cents (includes carloading charges). It is generally acknowledged in
New York that the keeping quality and storage condition of our pears
excel. We will reduce precooling for our growers' fruit to ten cents.
Seasonal storage charges will be reduced to twenty-two cents. We
will continue important transportation savings. These .result from
five years of our intensive study. The reduction in costs from this
source alone varies from six to twenty-one cents per box, (depending
upon date of shipment). . . . These economies total from thirty to forty
cents. We are in a position to offer these savings to the progressive
growers of our Valley by virtue of the efficiency of our plant and the
determination of our directors to fulfill the purpose which led to the
founding of Southern Oregon Sales, Inc.: "Better facilities, better service
and reduced costs". . . . To the steadfast loyalty of many growers who
have shipped with us since 1926 we are deeply indebted. Addition sup
port from a wider group of producers will enable us to reach higher levels
of achievement. We solicit your friendship, support and patronage.
Southern Oregon Sales, Inc.
