URGES DISTRICT DISPLAY
At SPOKANE AND CHICAGO
G. G. Corbaley, Manager for Arthur D. Jones & Co.,
Says He Has Joined Wenatchee Boosters = Offers
$50 to Head Subscription for District Display at Spo
kane and Chicago Shows. "A Great Opportunity.

! Is it too late for Wenatchee to be
represented with a district display
at the Spokane and Chicago National
Apple Shows?
G. c. Corbaley, Of Arthur d. Jones
& Company, believes that Wenatchee
will lose the greatest opportunity for
publicity it has ever had if it fails
to appear with district display.
Mr.. Corbaley has spent most of his
time in Wenatchee during the past
two months looking after the inter-
ests of his firm in the sewer tangle.
Arthur D. Jones & Company had
bought the bonds of the contractors
and were compelled to take over the
contract in order to save themselves
from serious loss. Thereafter. the
litigation started by the property
holders has kept the firm in hot wa
ter continually. He is about the hap
piest man in the state since the COM
promise has been agreed upon.
The Spokane man this morning
expressed admiration to reporter
of the wonderful apple crop of the
valley this year. His duties have
kept him on the ground much of the
time and when a half day could be
spared he has taken advantage of it
to make trips throughout the orch
ards.
Il am trustee of the National
Apple Show said Mr.. COrbaley,
land | am therefore not at liberty to
express what l consider are the real
chances Of this valley winning the
sweepstakes. But | do know that
one or two cars from here are going
! to be a sensation at both Spokane and
| Chicago. / have been here just long
enough and have caught enough of
the Wenatchee spirit that / simply
can't resist the impulse to boost.
| For that reason | am deeply inter-
ested in seeing Wenatchee have dis
| trict display at both Spokane and
Chicago. I feel so strongly on that
point that | will head a subscription
for that purpose with fifty dollars.
The need of this district display
is apparent" he continued. Sup
pose we grant that it may not be
worth the expense at Spokane. Th9
place where it is absolutely essential
is at Chicago. | don't see how one
or two cars from here can be stop
ped from going east. If they do,
thousands of people are going to be
talking about Wenatchee and its
wonderful fruit. They will ask and
hunt for further information. BY
having a district display headquar-
.crs will be available TO give out In
formation and literature to these
thousands of inquirers. Ii you don
have it, you are going to lose con-
siderable portion of the benefit to
he derived from the individual eX-
hibitors who may win big prizes.
Il understand that you have just
sent a very fine booklet to the print
ers and that other literature is about
to be gotten up. Where can this be
used to so good advantage as at Chi
cago when thousands upon thousands
see vour product and will be inter-
esled to read all about the country
where such marvellous fruit can be
grown
Il am making this suggestion
without knowing whether it is yet
possible to secure space for display.
do know that applications have
been received by the apple show
management for the entry of forty
carload exhibits and that we only
have room for half that number. IL
Wenatchee yet decides to prepare
district display. however, [ will use
my Influence to get the space and
will contribute fifty dollars as one
subscriber toward the necessary eX-
pense. I'm stuck on Wenatchee and
don't care who knows it
