DIRECTORS OF COMMERCIAL
CLUB TO PROTECT THE WORDS
"WENATCHEE THE HOME OF

The meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the Commercial clug was
held last night. The most import
ant matter considered was that of
copyrighting the words 'Wenatchee,
the Home of the Big Red Apple" In
view of the fact-that recently some
of the other localities of the state
have been infringing on this slogan
which is supposed to belong exclu-
sively to Wenatchee, the club will
make efforts at once to have this Fro
tected, SO that no other locality may
not use it,
Lem McKittrick, acting secretary
of the Commercial club, was selected
by the board to go to Seattle and
remain during the balance of the big
fair to advertise Wenatchee and in
duce as many people to come here
as possible Mr.. McKittrick is a
good booster and it is thought that
the board made a wise selection
The board also decided to get out

ter and probably $4,000 booklets will
be printed at once to be used in the

LIDED LAST FRIDAY.

Mrs. Harry Taylor of this city has
been visiting in Seattle for the past
several weeks at the George w. Stet-
son home. She had an experience
last Friday, however, which would
naturally tend to give her an an
tipathy for automobiling. She was
in the machine driven by Mr.. Stetson

Mr. Wilmeroth has spent his life
III the fruit business and is excep-
tionally well posted, as is evident by
his talk at the Missouri state con-
vention where he delivered quite a
reading on apple culture and care
of apple +tees, but the farmers are
not to be eounseled in this Ben Davis
section. They are discouraged, as
well they may be, inasmuch as their
apples are worth no more than the
prices they bring, owing to their in
ferior keeping and shipping qualities,
not considering at all their general
appearance and size.
No high class fruit stand, gro-
Gerry or general market in the United
States is complete today without We
natchee apples" says Mr.. Wilmer
9th. 1t is impossible to get away
from the fact that the big red apple
country produces the prettiest apple
in the United States; pretty in ap-
pearance, large in size, firm in text
ure, with a wonderful keeping quail
ity.
Nj Wilmeroth will remain in We
natchee for a few days, will look
over the entire section, and if he
finds time, will run up to the Met
how country and on the trip will be
the guest of Mr.. Elliott. of the Col

He comes here highly recommend

Introduction from F. c. Leedy, trav-
cling immigration agent of the
Great Northern. who states that Mr.
Wilmeroth on last winter gave an
address before the State Horticultu-
raj association of Missouri on apple
Packing and Apple Marketing" and
this address has become a textbook
on this subject for use by the grow
ers of the state of Missouri and has
been pronounced by apple experts in

ernment to be the best treatise on
that subject that has ever been given
