'In 1902 after the cranberries were all
disposed of left Wood county, Wis, for
my childhood home in Switzerland. where
remained about FIVE months" said An.
drew Bissig. In Switzerland they have
every variety of fruit except cranberries.
Ii was surprising to me TO find the peo-
pie so ignorant of this delicious fruit, as
there are thousands of Americans visit
ing European countries. It would seem
that they would call for this delicious
fruit at hotels and restaurants there,
but they must forget about them or
know that they cannot get them there.
mot only the European people are
ignorant of our beautiful cranberry, but
there are thousands of Americans that
are just as ignorant Of this fruit, espe-
cially in the southern states.
cit must be admitted by all people
who know how TO use cranberries that
they are the most healthful fruit on
earth. I have travelled a good deal in
this country and very seldom have got
ten a good dish Of cranberry sauce OF
pie, and this is evidence enough that the
majority Of the American people do not
know how cranberries should be cooked.
On my trip to Europe l took with me

to them, but after they were properly
cooked and they had tasted the beautiful

sion that when properly cooked every
body here as well as in Europe would
eat this fine fruit"
