Show UTAI1NS RAISING BANANAS NOW Not in Cache, However, But Down in Mexico Where Music Fills the Air & Zephyrs Softly Blow Messrs Ed South and I)r C A Gow-ans, Gow-ans, of Salt Lake City, came to Logan Wcdnes lay evening and arc spending spend-ing the week here shaking hands with numerous old-time friends. On Thursday Thurs-day tln' made arrangements with Messrs Kimball & Cranney to look after the Cache Interests of the Tarn-pIco Tarn-pIco Fiult company, an organization of Utaluis now engaged In developing a 1,000-acrc banana plantation In Mexico In speaking of the Tamplco Fruit company, Mr. South said: "I believe that this company Is ottering otter-ing the public the best proposition now on the market a sound invest ment, not a speculation. Tho company com-pany owns 1,000 acres of land in the heart of the banana district of Mexico and proposes to farm It. This land was purchased after a careful Investigation Investi-gation of cost of production, profits, magnitude of the banana industry and a thorough inspection of Mexican banana ba-nana lands by Mr. J. M. Jenson, a Utah man who has made a million-dollar million-dollar success himself and is recognized as one of the state's most thorough, progressive, jet safely conservative hortlcultutlsts. The company Is selling sell-ing 'harvest shares' In the property, and has such confidence In the Immediate Imme-diate outcome of it's proposition that It absolutely guarantees uu 8 per cent dividend the Urst year." When It was suggested that this sounded rather extravagant, Mr South said- "Nevertheless, we have succeeded in convincing a large number of this state's most capable financiers that our claims arc conservative rather than glowing. Government leports, which are ever very conservative show that bananas pay a net return of not less than $100 per acre the first jcar, and fioni that to $:100 under favorable conditions. The remarkably advantageous advan-tageous location of the Tamplco com-panj's com-panj's land gives conditions that are all that could be desired. The cost of production Is easily obtainable, the expense ex-pense of harvesting and marketing Is known to a cent, the market value of bananas Is ever an open secret, and the j early harvest of bananas from plantations all about our own give us the assurance that we can cut a whole lot of Ice" In Mexico, even If It Is warm. "No, I don't expect the public to take my word for it. Let them Inves-tlgate Inves-tlgate our proposition, let them talk with the men who have been on tho ground, let them look at the list of men back of the enterprise and thoso who have become Interested as shareholders, let them InvestlRate government and private corporation reports, let them but say, If you want any moro Information go over and ask Kimball & Cranney for literature. litera-ture. 1 havn't any moro time to waste on you." With that the Interview was "cut" and Ed went on down the street to "Jolly" someof the republicans he used to bump around here with. |
