HOOD RIVER GLACIER, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY I?, IW B lub goose TRACTOR Wed., Feb Z' q HE American Fruit Grow- ers, Ino., is a very inter esting and rather unusual kind of an organization. It is pure ly a “hired man,” as it were, which makes a business of pro viding a high class national sales service for fruit growers in this district. Just as a grower makes a specialty of producing his crop and getting his fruit in readi ness for the market, so does the A. F. G. make a particular bus iness of selling this fruit. The policy of the American FrUit Growers, Inc., is to secure f. o. b. shipping point sales, wider distribution and prompt accounting on all cars. Experience shows that over a period of years growers will net more for their crop by t o. b. shipping point sales than by any other method. The A. F. G. excels in f. o. b. service, and yet it does not neglect pro tecting its growers and ship pers by maintaining facilities for selling cars delivered, by private sale or by auction. But when fruit is sold delivered and on auction, it is handled in this manner only after very care ful consideration as to whether or not it will realize more than if sold on a f. o. b. basis. Sales made through the American Fruit Growers, Inc. the past few years show tbat apples were placed in nearly all states in the union and many hundred markets used. Prompt returns and finan cial responsibility on the part of the selling organization are factors of great importance to growers. Growers of Hood River and mid-Oolumbia districts are asked to consider us as a semi public institution, open to serve you the same as a bank, ex periment station, or any other institution whose aim is to give service that will merit confi dence. Averages have been com piled on all fruit which the Am erican Fruit Growers, Inc. has handled and on which remit tances have been made to grow ers to February 1st, and these averages are available to all in terested. We invite you to come in and look these averages over. A Fordson expert from the Ford Motor Co. will completely dissemble a FORDSON TRACTOR, explaining each working part His talk will will be especially instructive to all Fordson owners Come in, whether or not you are a tradtor operator, as you will learn a great deal, and we know you will consider the day well spent -> • * “ Lincoln : power—more gas-miles ever before with the new American Fruit Growers, Inc.
