birthday present, and you can be sure
L appreciated it. l think | told you
about our sending box of souvenirs to
LOwney, the candy manufacturers; II L
did not will tell you now. About three
months ago, several of us fellows were
eating some of Lowney's chocolates,
which we had bought in our ''canteen,'
when one of the boys said it would be
a good joke to send a candy box back
to Lowney, filled with souvenirs OF the
Philippines No sooner said than done:
About 30 of the boys contributed and
we made up box and sent it, more for
joke than anything else, although it
was fine collection. Well, in yester-
days mail l received letter from
Lowney's in which they said that it
was the greatest surprise they had
ever experienced when they received
the box. What do you think they did
with them? Put them on exhibition
at the Manufacturers exposition in
Boston. They said they had crowd
around their booth all the time. They
also made a copy of the letter which |
sent with the box, giving the names of
all the boys, and put that on exhibit
tion also. When the fair closed, they
placed them in their show room, and
have them on exhibition all the time.
But the best thing about it is that
they have sent us large box of candy
as Christmas gift, which was shipped
on the transport ''Buford." So you can
imagine us making ourselves sick eat
ing "Lowney's chocolates" And what
started as joke ended up quite nicely
to our benefit. Well, | have received
