GVVIN PROPOSES
SELLING METHOD
W. F. Gwin, munafter of the North
west Fruit Exchange, in a recent ad
ilreBi before the members of the WhhIi'
inton Horticultural jAsaocitition, pro
posed Rome unique methods of selling
apples. After advancing the plans for
more extensive advertming, he fcaiil in
part:
"The next move would be to select
one state in the union'in which to test
the plan. Lot us say Indiana, as the
state is not only rich und populous, hut
at the same time one of the poorest
consumers of box apples in the Union,
relatively. IndiHimpolis is a rich,
prosperous city of iiM.GfiO inhabitants.
Start, say, in Indianapolis, with the
special brand of Jonathans and Grimes
(olden. I would ship several carloads
of the brand to Indianapolis, either
placing them in storage temporarily or
else timing their arrival conveniently.
"The next step would be to send one
or two thoroughly trained, experienced
specialty salesmen there. I could lay
my hands on just the right men in a
moment. I would have a thorough
canvass of the retail grocery trade
made, and also the fruiterer trade.
There is about one grocery store to
every 2Ull of the population, fruiterers
additional. This would liuiku 1108
groceries alone in Indianapolis. Not
over one-quarter to one-half of these
would be good stores in good parts of
town, hay about 1003 in all. The 'live
wire' salesmen can work about i!,r gro
cers in a day if he has a quick talking
proposition which this would he. In
two weeks' work one iiibii could cover
the town pretty thoroughly.
"Have this salesman explain to the
grocer the extraordinary quality, ap
pearance and merchantability of the
product, the convenience of the pack
ago, the advantage of co-operating
with the producers to work up a box
trade, which would avoid measuring,
bags, string, etc., and save him money
all around. Under such circumstances
conditions he could afford to handle the
fruit at a reasonable profit, especially
as there would be no further waste or
loss by decay. Without going farther
into the argument, sullice to'siiy that
a 'whirlwind campaign' could.be made.
"Explain to the grocer that on a cer
tain morning a, full-page 'ad' will ap
pear in the Indianapolis papers, writ
ten by an expert, so as to command
instant attention by every housekeeper
in town. And that in that ad. a full
list of the grocers and fruiterers who
can supply the fruit will also appear.
That is a good ad. for the dealer. That
advertisement will state the price per
box at which the consumer can buy
this brand from the grocer. That
would be the first intelligent step ever
taken by northwestern producers to
regulate the profit of the retailer, and
it would be doing it in a way that
would not make the retailer our enemy
for life, but would have his full ap
proval. "Then take the order of the retailer
for five, ten, 15 or 25 boxes of the ad
vertised brand for delivery through his
wholesale grocer or wholesale fruit
merchant. Perhaps under this system
the wholesale grocers throughout the
country generally could be induced to
carry boxed apples, like the wholesale
grocers in Texas do now. If so, it
would be another big advanage gained,
as the wholesale grocers would not
carry any but the advertised brand.
"then assemble these orders on the
yr("". j.iMpq .l-i;... serl
the j .Olrll tol H inl ''u.'. Cl.-LIV
over and above what we have sold for
him. Iiy taking the retailers' orders
at a fixed price you can then allow the
jobbers a fair price margin of profit
and no more, but this time you have
not only limited his profit but you have
forced him to buy, and you have done
it all without making him your enemy
for life, but have mad of him, too, a
co-operator.
"In conjunction with this campaign
if the advertising appropriation per
mitted it would bu well to have a
couple of well-trained girl demonstra
tors, who cuold be dressed in costume
to represent the western girl ; perhaps
in cow-girl costume. Merely walking
along the street would set the whole
town buzzing. Have them take bas
kets of sample apples and go from
house to house in the uetter sections of
the city, get interviews with the house
wivcs.lcave a litlu cookbook filled with
recipes, and also with some needed ed
ucational matter on varieties, have her
sample an apple of the sort we are
selling, and then take her order on her
nearest grocer for a box or two.
PINE GROVE .
Rev. Carson tilled the pulpit at Odell
last Sunday morning. In the evening
he preached at l ine drove.
Sleighing parties are very much in
evidnece the past week.
Several from the vicinity attended
the Union church at Odell Sunday ev
ening and listend to an excellent ser
mon by Rev. Hargreaves, of Hood
River.
Thursday evening the Sunflower class
ana their mends enjoyed a merry
sleigh ride until 9:30, when they ail
gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs,
MacPonald, by inivtation, and were
treated to a nice supper, chicken pie
and all the good things that go with
it. A delightful time was shared by
all.

Saturday evening, after an absence of
nearly two weeks.
Mabry Jackson had the misfortune
to lose a valuable horse last Friday
afternoon.
The Amicus club met with Mrs. Joe
Vannier Jan. H, in a very pleasant ses
sion. The Sunflower class held a song ser
vice at the home of their teacher, Mrs.
J. MacPonald, for the benefit of her
mother, Mrs. Kirk, at the close of the
Sunday school last Sunday morning.
Recently Mrs. J. O. Mark received
the sad tidings of the death of her
brother, Mr. Hoover, who resided in
Montana, and accompanied by her hus
band left at once to attend the funeral,
being absent several days.
A. I. Mason, on his return from Port
land, gave a good report of the good
mull mpptinp und of tho hflntiilt't lip nt-
tended bv special invitation, a repre
sentative of the grange. He said no
wine or any kind of intoxicant was
served at the banquet.
Peculiarities of Parcel Post
The local pot (office has received a
number of inquiries as to whether or
not W hite Salmon is in the 50 mile tone
or the 150 mile parcel post tone. Al
though the city is but a mile or two
away, parcels transported by mail
travel a distance of 150 miles, going
from here to Portland and back up on
the North Rank line. However, the

WHITE 8ALMON.
(Krom the K.nterprlBe)
The town was gold out of sleighs the
first of the week, the fall of snow hav
ing made them a popular mode of con
veyance. The Major Creek Lumber Cu. has
been busy the past two weeks trans
porting and placing an addition to the
big Bmokestack of the mill, which will
raise it to a height of K!5 feet and
place it in the clear for a good draught.
Installation of officers, followed by a
slipper provided by the ladies of the
Eastern Star, attracted about titty to
Masonic hall Monday night, January
13. It was the annual event of the
lodge and a success in every way.
Opening in the degree of Master
Mason the lodge, with Seaman Rurtis
in the East, proceeded to the installa
tion of the following: John (J. Wyers,
worshipful master; R. Field, senior
warden; A. H. (Jroshong, secretary ;
L. J. Wolfard, treasurer; li. M. Rus
sell, senior deacon; Chester Craig, jun
ior deacon ; J, C. Maclnnes and F. C.
DunniclilT, senior and junior stewards
C. VV. Dewey, tyler.
When the door is opened at the main
mess hall at the dam there is a rush
for the tables which cannot be with
stood and if a man were to go down he
would suiter severely. Recently one of
the men in front was shoved into the
heHd of a rail. Dozens of men behind
were pushing as hard as a lot of des
perate football players and the conse
quence was that the man is seriously
injured internally and may not live.
A human skull with a decidedly va
cant look greeted the editor of this
paper when he entered the office one
day last week. Alongside was a paid
up subscription, which clearly indicated
that if there were any connection be
tween the two it was no dead head into
whose empty sockets we gazed. It had
come from the snnd pit on the flat be
low. We sent for Jake Hunt and he
failed to recognize it as ono of his
friends, but thought it might be Leaves
in the Wind, a noted beauty of 10 years
ago. The skull is that of an early Chi
nook. There is little forehead because
of the custom of the coast Indians to
bind a board in such a way that it
pressed the skull back and left no fore
head, only a wide fiat head. It was
anything but a levelheaded idea.
W. Scott Coe, wife and daughter,
Earl Coe and bride, arrived in White
Salmon last week and left for their
homes 12 miles northeast of this place.
They spent nearly two months in Min
neapolis, going back for the wedding
of Earl to a former classmate. Mr.
Coe was left in charge of the Washing
ton state txhibit of the Northwest
Land Show much of the time'and never
let an opportunity slip to get in a good
word for this section. He talked with
railroad men about canneries, and
found that the railway is taking a real
interest in the matter and encouraged
Mr. Coe in the idea that an experi
mental station might be secured for
this place. The requirement is the
donation of five acres of land near
town. A competent man would be
placed in charge and ctTort made to
find the best way of making the soil
yield its utmost returns. If anyone,
therefore, has five acres he isn't using
here is a chance to become a philan
thropist. County Court Declares District
