Show in Minneapolis, where the We
natchee Commercial Club has two
carloads on exhibition. w. d. Low
ell, who is interested with his broth
ers in orchards in this valley, writes
to DR.. King as follows:
Il have spent some time this week
at the Donaldson Apple Show. AS
is always the case, Wenatchee has
the fruit and any impartial witness
will so state There is none better
and in my opinion none so good in
the show.
Our efforts here are greatly ham
dicapped by the lack of proper lit
erature for distribution. l send you
under separate cover, samples of the
publications being handed out by
representatives of other districts.
In a measure a district is judged by
the literature it puts out.
Il have made a study of this Don
aldson Apple Show and l wish some
day to discuss with you or with the
Commercial Club the advantages OF
it to Wenatchee. | do not know the
total expense in connection with this
exhibit to the Wenatchee CONNER
cial Club. | am impressed with the
fact that this apple show is run for
revenue-if Weratchee gets any ad-
vertising, it is a side issue.
1T runs in my head that We could
spend a like sum of money and get
very greater returns by some other
method, but as / do not know all
the facts, | do not make this as
statement.
The people of Minneapolis ana
st. Paul are interested in the grow
ing of apples We ought to have
much larger representation in the
Wenatchee valley from the Twin
Cities. We could have it if we would
farm the territory little more. In
my opinion Wenatchee needs more
people and the way to get them is
to let the advantages of the district
be known. That is sufficient.
Mr.. Dibble is doing everything
he can for Wenatchee, but as above
outlined, he is greatly handicapped.
Il understand that the Tribune OF
Chicago is to have an apple show
beginning on the 18th and that the
Spokane exhibit will be on exhibit
ton at Chicago about the Gath and
that the land show begins at Chi
cago about Dec. 1st
Now Wenatchee ought to be we'll
represented at Chicago for the next
thirty days. 1t will be a great in
vestment for the district.
Mr.. Dibble says he has had some
talk or correspondence with you
about going from here to Chicago
| want to take this opportunity to
urge you to have as many represen-
tatives there as possible and good
exhibit at Chicago, for all these
shows.
If | can spare the time, will go
to Chicago during part of Novem-
Der and will give my time and energy
gratis.
please see to it that we are well
represented at Chicago. ! wish
had gotten in touch with this Min
neapolis business little earlier.

ance.
The following districts have eX-

Willamette Valley.
Rogue River Valley.
''Zillah District.
White Salmon.

apparently Yakima did not ex-
hibit. | am telling the Zillah peo-
pie that Yakima is ashamed of their
name and trying to change it from
Yakima to Zillah.
Donaldson is having great sale
of apples. All week long they have
been selling Jonathans and Spitzen-
bergs, 3 IL tier, at As cents per
dozen or % cents for six, and have
sold large numbers. BY the box
they have been selling Wenatchee
apples at the following prices:
Fourier Jonathans, $500.
Winter Bananas, $500.

'Spitzenbergs, $3.50.

special sale on at the following

a dozen.
"Spitzenbergs, 40 cents dozen.
They have made some reductions
from the above prices in box lots for
few brands.
The Northern Pacific has at Don
aldson's show a pamphlet which is
good advertising. They also had a
page ad. in the daily paper this week.
The Great Northern ought to do
something similar and | think if We
went after them right and showed
them what the n. p is doing that
