OPPORTUNITY FOR POTA-
TO GROWERS
Commercial Club Shipping a Carload
to the National Land Show,
Will You Furnish Sack
or Two?

The Commercial club is making up
a carload of potatoes to send TO the
National Land Show at Chicago, and
wants every man who has raised good
potatoes to contribute one sack or
more. Arrangements have been made
to have them received on Saturday,
October 23rd at the Elevator, and the
following named gentlemen have
been delegated to handle the work.
J. G.. Fond e. s. Hubbell, E., M. Ken
nedy, Jas. Martin, A. G.. Robert.
The committee will supply people
with shipping tags to be firmly at
tached to the sacks, and there will be
printing on the tags to show that
the potatoes were sent by the Com
mercial club of Blackfoot, Idaho, and
blank lines in which to write the
name of the person who raised them,
the kind or variety of potatoes, the
average yield etc. If any dealer
wishes, for the advertising 1T gives
him, to insert his own name or that
of his firm, as the packer or dealer,
that is permissible. The purpose Is
to place large display Of our pota-
toes before the people at the land
show, and to have them tagged to
show just where they are from. The
Trowbridge G. Niver company will at
tend to shipping them to Chicago,
placing them on exhibit. and handing
them out, three or four in sack,
to dealers or other interested men
who will carry them home and use
them on their own tables for the
purpose Of comparing them with 9TH
err potatoes.
How to Select Them
Persons preparing potatoes for this
purpose are requested to first decide
what class or size of potatoes they
will place in the sack. and then sort
them very carefully, to get them OF
uniform size, and do not place two
kinds of potatoes in the same sack.
II you decide to furnish baking po-
tatoes. select the medium small ones
such as the stingy restaurant man or
careful hotel man would want to
place on his tables as part of the
course. A potato that will bake quick
ly. and not be great waste If not
eaten. The hungry man who wants
more potatoes can be served with a
second one better than all can be
served with large ones. If you de-
eide to send the larger ones, get all
of one size and shape to fill the sack.
Do not send knotty or scabblv ones.
Place shipping tag properly filed
out, inside the sack before sewing 1t
up, and then put one on the out
side,
II you cannot send the sack or
sacks in on the 2Srd send them soon
err, but do not neglect this important
opportunity to boost your own bust
ness by sending sample Of your
product into the greatest market and
greatest show. when we can get them
shipped and handled all the way into
the eastern homes without any ex-
pense to yourself.
This is our opportunity. Make the
most Of 1t. 17-2
