Tht's is a Nut Grove
AISING NUTS on a commercial scale is one of Mason
County's minor agricultural endeavors, but one of ever
growing importance and volume -- and one which could
and perhaps someday will match this community's most
important seasonal crop- grapes.

Climatically and geographieaUy. Mason County is ad-
vantageously positioned to develop a large and prosper-
ous nut orchard acreage.
Much of Mason County's land is ideally suited for just
this type of use, and Mason County already has the
facilities set-up for shipping nuts to market as a natural tie-in with its already
siz,;att export of manufactured and agricultural products produced here, and
co+ ld 'thereby become'another example of the development
of related enterprises which this series of messages on the
American Way of Life has endeavored to point out.
This "industrial" expansion--for indeed it is actually
that even though it is growing a product from the soil-
would benefit +everyone in this entire area. It can come
and it will come. It requires only foresight and initiative
and the "right" business conditions. So long as men are
free to invest their time and their money in enterprise, such
development will follow as day follows night For the nut
raiser is an "industrialist" even as the factory owner.
+ +
He must invest in the land upon which he will grow his
nuts, he must invest in the trees from which his "industry" gets its beginning.
He must hire help, he must sell his crop- and he must have something "left
over" for himself after he pays for all these things.
It is as simple as that. Whether a man is a nut raiser, a winery operator, a re-
tail merchant, or a factory owner, he requires this basic, fundamental assur-
ance before he will feel free to start a new enterprise or expand an existing one.
Nut growing -- like any other industry- depends a great deal on wedth er'
A nut grower, as any farmer, must consider, actually, two kinds of weather,':..-7"
natural weather and the man-made "weather" of political and economic •lave.
The latter is perhaps the more important for it determines the conditions udcr
which all industry and all business must operate.
If this man-made "weather" is favorable, men will go forward, Men will
new sources of wealth for themselves and for the co.mmunity.
Mason County--and all Amerlcawas founded and built on
the fandmettal trinctple that any man or woman should have
th ttb work--should hve the right to start a business of
"his 0 anal to enjoy the fruits of his labor. As a result, no
other nation in the whole+world can approach the industrial
might of America. In no other nation hs the standard Of living
Hsn so lflgh for the indivViua! willing to work for it. This
resu|ts from the Amertca Way of Life, and is the pathway to
an even greater America. Why change it?

The + sponsors of this series of advertisement devoted to com-
munity betterment are + Citizens of this community. They own
homes hePe. nel' children go to school here. They have a deep
sense of responsibility to the individuat citizen§ and to changes
which Will affect the commur.W. They are interested in devel-
oping a" healthy commmdty iollowlng the American Way of
Life, and thus keeping America and Mason County strong for
the generations to come,
t
Throughout all America, this political-economic "we
has always been such as £o give men courage and assur"
ance. That has been the American way of life- the waY,
which allows any man to take a job of his own choosing or
start a business of his own, and build it, and enjoy the
fruits of his honest efforts. '
With this same spirit- with this ideal which has made
America great- every citizen can face the future coafi"
dently. Here in Mason County new industries will be borza.
Establishing industries- like nut growing--will create
new opportunity. The whole community, and the whole
nation, will receive the benefits.
