A CANNED GOODS MOVE OF laP0R.
LANCE.

A grocery deal of great impor-
lance and interest to the Eastern
trade has recently been closed,
whereby u western brand ofcanned
vegetables, fruits, jam, preserves,
salad dressing, ETC., will hereafter
be vigorously pushed forward in
the East, and particularly here in
New York City, and within a
radius Of ninety miles from the
metropolis. The brand is "Ferndell
Pure Food Goods" and it has
already made for itself reputa.
ton for purity and every other de-
sirable grocery quality that may
we'll be envied. The firm Of
Sprague, Warner & Co.. the great
wholesale grocery house Of Chica.
60, controls "Ferndell" goods, and
our readers will recollect their page
and half-page announcements in
the American Grocer some months
ago.
The distributing agents who
have taken the line are of such
high standing that success is prac.
tically guaranteed from the start
it is Acker, Merrall Il Condit. The
mere fact that this famous house
stands behind this line will be
sufficient recommendation to give
"Ferndell Pure Food Goods" an
instantaneous leap into popularity.
The combination Of such a splendid
and complete line of canned pro.
ducts, and such an energetic, high.
class distributing agency, is enc
that cannot be anything but sue
cessful.
For some time past the fact thai
such a big grocery move was con.
templated by a Western firm ot
standing has been common talk on
the street, and people have been
wondering who the clever salesman
was who negotiated it, as the trans.
actions that will be done in "Fern.

eason, will be away up in the
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars,
Curiously enough, no grocery

would not allow the connection OF
their name with a line with which
they we're not satisfied. Apparent
ly the raw materials used, the pro.
cess ofmanufacture and packing,
and all other details, were COM
pletely satisfactory, for Mr.. Bauer
was able 10 close contract, on be-
half Of Sprague, Warner x Co.,
that reflects the greatest credit upon
all parties concerned. 1t is a
transaction TO be proud of, but
when Mr.. Bauer was seen at the
Imperial hotel this week, he mod
estly declined to speak Of his own
efforts in connection with the mat
ter, though confirming the general
truth Of the report.
Mr.. Bauer said, however, that
the goods, when introduced into
this territory, which will probably
be early next month, will be given
the benefit of widespread publicity;
their merits, prices and qualities
will be widely advertised TO both
grocers and consumers alike, aud
corps Of more than seventy ex-
pert canvassers, who are at all times
employed under Mr.. Bauer's per-
sonal direction, will be brought on
to cover this territory and will in.
troduce the goods in a way that
will be prompt, novel, effective and
will win "Ferndell Pure Food
Goods" hosts Of new friends. IL
may be remarked in passing
that no better man could be found
TO conduct such a remarkably COM
prehensive publicity campaign
than Alfred G.. Bauer.
The Srrague, Warner & Co. line
is a very large one, and, in addi-
ton to what might be termed
staple canned goods" includes
many h.grade specialties, among
them jams. jellies, and preserves
in glass. All through the Western
trade "Ferndell" is known as one Of
the very finest lines packed, and
the label Of "Ferndell" is every
where conceded to be proof posi-
tive of satisfaction to the dealer
and the consumer. Ii is pure and
absolutely reliable in quality. The
machinery used in the factories
where "Ferndell" is packed is of
the very latest model, the greatest
sanitary precautions are taken,
and it is, in fact, as up.to.date a
line as it is possible to find. That
it will cause lively competition
with heavy sellers in this part Of
the land is certain From the
American Grocer.
These goods are sold exclusively
in Bryan by the well known firm
of Dansby Il Danshy.
