This work was widely and effectively

get the people to TALKING and IN
QUIRING about you brand, you have
turned the trick. Of course, we didn't
stop with that card, but proceeded in
a rapid fire series of new ads. to tell
them just what SKOOKUM was and
advised them to BUY THEM BY
THE BOX; that SKOOKUM was the
APPLE OF FLAVOR: that they were
CHEAPER and FRESHER.

money our in goods.
We had noticed that throughout the
first three-quarters of the 1914-l9l6
season, the prices ruling were,
DESPITE the premium that SHOOK
UNI commanded, nevertheless showing
a loss. We were frankly concerned on
this score. But when Mr.. Kelly, of
the firm, came out here in the fall of
1915, | asked him this question: "Mr.
Kelly, it's no business of ours, of
course, you bought the SKOOKUM
pack from us at price and paid us
our price and the goods were your own
but, if you don't mind, l would like
to have you tell me how you came out
on the 1914 deal, and also how SHOOK
UNI sold in comparison with unadver-
tised brands which had commanded the
New York market for years before
SKOOKUM was heard Of" Mr.. Kelly
was very frank. and told me that, in
his off-hand judgment-he had no
statistics, of course-SKOOUM had
averaged at least Csc per box higher
than any other brand on the New York
market. AS STEINHARDT & KELLY
handled not only SKOOKUM but some
of nearly every other famous brand on
the market, he should be in position
to know. He also told me that at one
time ii looked as though his firm was
going to make very heavy loss on
the SKOOKUM deal, but that the
KEEPABILITY of the fruit had saved
them; that it had OUTKEPT every
other brand, SO that, when the market
turned upward, along in April, they
had been able to even up their losses
and come out on the whole deal little
better than even. | want to impress
on your minds the BIG IMPORTANCE
of this testimony. The KEEP ABlL-
ITY of this fruit saved an important
customer to our industry. Honestly,
growers, it is sin and a shame the
way we handle the harvesting and
shipping of the bulk of this fruit crop.
1t is costing us hundreds of thousands
of dollars in allowances, shrinkage,
loss of reputation and loss of patron
age, and we are recklessly SQUAN-
DERING ore of the very greatest of
our assets and advantages, the natur-
ally high keeping quality of our fruit.
But this is another story, though an
important one. In my next talk |
shall tell you of the 1915 campaign.
Faithfully yours,
". F. GwIN,
Vice President and General Manager,
Northwestern Fruit Exchange.

Fred PaaSch Asks Final Papers

Fred Paasch, who last week applied
for his final naturalization papers, is
the first German born resident of the
valley to seek American citizenship
since the diplomatic break with the
Kaiser. Mr.. Paasch was born at
Guttots in 1883. With his parents he
came to America in 1888, and since
1891 he has been a resident of the
Hood River valley. First papers were
taken out in 1914.
Aug. Paasch, the father of Fred
Paasch, is owner of one of the largest
East Side orchards. Before the Euro
pean war he shipped his crop of fruit
to connections in Hamburg. The
fathers final papers were granted two
years ago, after the son had reached
his majority.

INGLY." We decided to make the
main medium of publicity illustrated
cards in the ELEVATED and SUBJ
WAY street cars. Here was where we
could get the biggest display for the
least money and at the same time the
biggest audience. Accordingly, SER
les Of illustrated cards was prepared
by the artists attached to the staff of
our advertising agency, and the first
of these cards appeared in the cars in
SEPTEMBER 1914. This card was an
immediate hit. 1t carried reproduc-
tions of each of the ten SKOOKUM
VARIETIES (since increased to 12)
in I natural size, and in NATURAL
COL0RS. A very great deal of pains
was taken to get these colors true to
life. Representative specimens of each
variety were secured from orchards of
our members and photographed out
here. The color plates were made in
New York, and it took weeks to get
them just right. A reproduction of
this first card is shown hereunder.

principal brands. The SKOOKUM
pack, having been bought from us by
STEINHARDT & KELLY, was, of
course, their property but we noticed
that in our market wires SK0OKUM
was reported as being sold by STEIN
HARDT & KELLY on the ERIE
DOCK (the New York apple market)
at prices which were from Sc to 60c
per box higher than any other brand.
Even brands which had commanded the
top of the New York market for years
were put out of the running. The rea-
son? Why, its perfectly simple: local
packing house or district brands are
valuable only in their appeal to the
WHOLESALE TRADE; not one re-
taller out of hundred knows anything
about local brands or cares a whoop.
He simply goes down on the market,
looks over the samples, and picks out
lines of fruit which suit him as to
quality and price. HIS CUSTOMERS
haven't been demanding any special

brand from him therefore, in his pur-
chases he is looking for the best bar
gains he can buy. But. when the
SKOOUKM BRAND went right over
his head and appealed to the CON-
SUMER, and when his consumer Gus
toners began to send in their orders,
not for "apples" but for SKOOKUM
APPLES, Mr.. Retailer faced another
and new situation altogether. He went
down on the market and looked up the
distributors of SKOOKUM BRAND
and bought supply. Pretty soon,
dealers from all over Greater New
York were calling for SKOOKUM
BRAND, and the supply was limited.
Therefore, the law of SUPPLY AND
DEMAND operated in this case as it
always operates-and the price ad-
vanced, naturally, and proportionately.
Furthermore, the demand for SHOOK
UNI wasn't confined to NEW YORK.
It's wonderful what an influence New
York has over the whole eastern part
of the country. The newest song,
originated in New York, is soon whis-
tied all over the country: the New
York jokes soon gain wide currency.
New York fashions are soon copied
everywhere, and New York slang is
promptly adopted by other sections.
So, with brands Of goods that are pop
ular in New York, their fame spreads.

dent: Mr.. A. r. Rule, general man.

change and the New York Office of the

CHANGE, was in JACKSONVILLE,
FLORIDA, that winter. Happening
into several of the best retail stores he
was surprised to find the SKOOKUM
BRAND was the leader, though not a
cent had been spent to introduce. the
brand in that far distant market.
All through the advertising we did
in 1914 we carried the Indian idea; we
explained to the public that SKOO-
KUN was Siwash fors BULLY" and
that SKOOKUM APPLES were bully.
OF course, | know that literally and
strictly SKOOKUM doesn't mean bully
in Siwash, but that is the sense in
which it has come to be used in this
part of the country. Now, it will be
interesting to turn for a moment to
consider the results of this campaign
as they affected STEINHARDT &
KELLY. We must not overlook the
welfare of our customers; it is impor-
tant to us that THEY make a reason

we cannot expect them to invest their

that was to be conducted during the
season. The appropriation amounted
to S7,361. 10. Our job was to take that
small sum of money and make the
New York consuming public sit up and
take notice. 1t was some job, believe
me, but the results exceeded even our
most sanguine expectations. After

WASHINGTON BIRTH
DAY PARTY SUCCESS

Since the organization of the
Twelfth Co., C. A. c., here last fall,
Hood River social activities have taken
on military flavor. In past years the
big hops of the winter season were
given by the University club, but that
organization is social activities have
been superseded by those of the Artil-
lery club, composed of the members of
the Twelfth Company.
With the Armory artistically decor
ated with flags and emblems signifi-
cant of the Father of the Country, a
Warrington birthday dancing party was
given last Thursday night by the Ar
tillery club. The dance was attended
not only by local young people, but by
numbers from nearby communities.
The music for the merry party is
said to have been the best for dane
ing party this winter. The following
talented musicians formed the orches-
ira: MIR. and Mrs. Arthur Kolstad,
William Chandler, Roy Cornell and
Dave Rorick, the latter from The
Dalles.
