vertisinS absolutely compelled the public
to try our luscious product and when
our cantalOupes were.once tried the VIC.
tory was won. Hotels and reItaurants
OF the highest tone placsd the words
Rocky Ford Cantaloupes'' prominently
on their bills OF fare, and all well.to. do
citizens who love good living placed ad-
vance orders for them with their gro.ers.
In fact the popularity OF our cantaloupes
was as great as it was sudden. No other
product of the field ever jumped so
quickly into public favor over 80 wide
scope OF country. Mr.. Wetzel last year
contracted for 35 cars and took 125, and
many days kept the wires hot calling for
many more cars than our large acreage
could supply. His company has now
made contracts for almost the entire
product Of the valley, and we have every
reason to believe that he will handle the
immense business to the satisfaction OF
the growers, the delight OF many thous-
ands OF eastern epicures, and with de-
servedly good profit for the Western
Poultry and Game Co.
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1898-03-24

Manager OF the Western Poultry &
Game Co., st. Louis, is deserving the
good will OF the Arkansas valley to high
degree. BY his energy and enterprise he
has made the Rocky Ford cantaloupe
famous all over the east. Our canta-
loupes have the merit OF being incompar-
ably superior to any that it is possible to
raise in the east. While having this I'M
PARALLEL excellence it took the general.
ship OF Mr.. Wetzel to make the fact
known and secure the resulting patron
age and popularity. To do this required
a large expenditure for advertising but
the outlay wac made confident OF prof.
table results il the eastern public could
be induced to test the Rocky Ford cauta-
loupes. Previous to shipping his first
car of cantaloupes to an eastern city Mr..
Wetzel fairly painted the town red with
information relative to Rocky Ford can
taloupes. His bold and persistent ad-

Con s6quently, the government will nO long CT ba obliged to pay the per diem Of $S30 which it has bee expending for about three months, although it is be- lieved that the value Oi the prop crty recovered from the wrecks will fully reccmperse the navy department for he expenditure.
