on foot, establishing a station at the
end of each 100 miles for ten stations,
making the last station 1000 miles in

Dear Sjr:-YOur favor Of the 18th was
duly received, hut owing to a press of
business we have been unable to give
it our attention before We have duly
noted yOurinquiriesr relative to Niagara
Grapes and we desire to say-that dur
ing the past season the first of that
variety-Of any cXtent-was received
by us and they Immediately establish
ed themselves as prime tavorites. Our
customers were so anxious to get them
that we always had them engaged be-
fore they were received, and as YOU
knOw-the prices realized were always
good, and we believe satisfactory to
yourself. As to style of package-we
are convinced that thet ten pound square
handle basket is the most desirable. as
well as the most attractive We think
there is no Grape that will sell as we'll
as the Niagara; and the fine cluster
and rich flavor make it pleasure to
sell them. 1t is our opinion that this
market can take large quantities of the
Niagaras " ut good paying prices to
the shipper. Wishing you much sue
cess for the enterprise you personally
have shown in getting this splendid
fruit before the public, and sending
greetings for the New Year, we remain
