tant gatherings held here in years was the State
convention of California fruit growers. The
members discussed many topics. notably cooper
alton in shipping and marketing fruit and new
methods Of advertising the great variety and ex-
cellence Of California fruits. The best sugges-
tion about advertising came from William II.
Mills, land agent Of the Southern Pacific Com
pany, who had charge of that cOmpany's big
exhibit at the Paris Exposition He noticed at
Paris that large quantity OF fresh fruit was
purchased by the visitors the grounds and he
conceived the idea that II would be a far better
advertisement for any fruit to he bought and
eaten than to be merely looked at. on his re-
turn he secured the refusal from the Buffalo
Fair managers OF the privilege Of selling fruit
on the grounds, with the proviso that a sub
concession be granted to other States that desire
a similar opportunity. II this scheme be carried
out and carefully selected fruit is delivered daily
by express trains II will do more TO convince the
general public OF the excellence Of California
fruit than any other method that could be de-
Vised.
