BACK To DENVER
Promotion Committee Hears
News From Fruit Sent
to Chicago.

Several matters Of interest were TAX
en- up by the Promotion Committee al
its meeting yesterday, the most inter
esting of all. perhaps. being the fact
that the pineapples sent TO Chicago
had been shipped back to Denver and
were still in fine condition when they
arrived. There were a few small bills
ordered paid and the business trans
acted was mainly routine.
Messrs- Waldron, Lucas, Wood and
Mclean were present at the meeting.

all over the United States. DIR. Sperry
stated that he had just returned from
