FIOHTETM THE SALEM CAPIT At, .TOURNATi SAT EM, 0R3?0?l. PTt-T?D Ti- Z)o You Know That Salem Is the Logical Fruit Canning Center of the Whole Northwest? ill ,1 I 5 ft 3 Do You Know That the Country Immediately Adjacent to Salem Produces an Almost Inexhausible Supply of Prunes, Loganberries, Cherries and Other Small Fruits?, And That the Acreage Planted to These Fruits Is Increasing by Leaps and Bounds Every Year? j Do You Realize: That Fruit Failure in this section of the Famous Willamette Valley has never been known? That the Fruit Raisers can afford to sell their products reasonably, because they do not have to pay fabulous prices for the land? That this part of the Valley. is thickly settled, and that abundant cheap help can be secured to pick the fruit and to work in the canneries? That Salem has excellent transportation facilities, both by rail and water? That the city is willing to do everything to encouiage the establishment of legitimate industries? That a million-dollar canning concern has come into Salem within the past year, and that there are several other canneries, but that there is still more fruit raised than can be taken care of? IF YOU WANT A SOLID BUSINESS VENTURE, WHY NOT LOCATE A CANNERY IN SA LEM? WE'LL TREAT YOU RIGHT. SALEM, OREGONStatistical Altitude, 171 feet above sea level. Area, 6 square miles.
