These 00are Fruit Trees
T'
LIATICALLY and geographically Mason County is
advantageously positioned to develop a large and pros-
perous fruit orchard acreage. It does grow apples, pea,
plums, even peaches, to a small extent now.
Most important, from the standpoint of volume, have
been apples, which are used to some extent in this com-
munity's important wine industry, a well as to supply
grocery produce counters and home tables with a lus-
cious, healthful, appetizing fruit. That figure can be
higher--and the growing of other types of fruit, too,
can be expanded: Mason County is well situated for
such deveIopment. With it would come expansion of
fruit processing canning, freezing, the manufacture of juices and beverages.
Packaging supplies would have to be provided, as would the equipment and the
growing and picking fruit and for transporting the finished pro-
All related business would be stimulated

fruit- industry.
it is an industry. And the man who grows f÷uit is an
"industriMist" as much so as the man who operates a
factory. That fact should be remembered. For the very,
same conditions which stimulate any other industry--any
other businesswill also stimulate fruit growing here in
Mason County.

Every businessman---every retailer, grocer, farmer, trucker,
.dairymgn, fisherman, factory-owner, mill-operator---faces the same basic problem.
He must risk time and money when he starts or expands a business• American
businessmen have always done thishave always planned and built for the
future• They did so because of a very simple fact: the American way of life
held promise for them. In effect, America said: "Create new enterprise: if
you .ail s that has been your risk. If you succeed, the fruits of your honest
effoxCt shall be yours to enjoy." °
So Americaand Mason Countywent ahead• Men started small businesses,
worked hard, created jobs for other men. Everyone received benefits..The
community prospered.
It must be so"in the future. Take fruit growing as an example. A man any
man decides to start a fruit orchard• He must risk his savings. He must
work t make his venture a success. He probably will hire others to help him
if the orchard is of any size and he must pay a fair and decent wage,
Mason Countyand all Amerlcawas founded and built on
the fundamental principle that any man or woman should have
the right to Work--shou}d have th6 right to sart a business of
his own and to enjoy the fruits of his labor. As a result, no
other nation in the whole world can approach the industrial
fiight of America. In no otlier nation has the standard •of living
risen so high for the in¢llvidual willing to work for it. This
results from the American Way of Life, ald is the pathway to
an even greater America. Why change it?
The sponsors of thin sories of advertisements dVoe to com-
munity bettenent are citizens of this community. They own
homes here. Thet children o to school here, Tliy have a deep
sense of responsibility to the individual citizens and to changes
which will affect the community. Theyare interested in devel-
oping a lealthy 0ommUniy following the American Way of
Life, and thus keeping America and Mason County strong for
the generations to come.
He must do all these things, and he must also have
"something left over" for himself. That "something" is his
return on his investment of time and money. Unless he can
be assured of this return he will not start his new "indu-
try ' at all. That is only natural. But he will be assured
of such a return here in Mason County, because Mason
County is in America and the American way of life gives
men this freedom, this initiative, this spirit of enterprise•
With it, Mason County will go forward into a future
which holds promise of better things for every citizen,
One" of a series of advertisements devoted to community betterment.
