Augusta Chronicle.
Mr.. w. E. Prothro and Mr.. A. NJ.
Kennedy were the guests of Mr.. l.. }.
Henry at the Rotary club yesterday.
Mr.. Prothro, it will be recalled, is an
extensive grower of asparagus at Will
liston. S. c., to whom reference has
been made in the Chronicle during
the past few days. Mr.. Kennedy is
president of the Bank of Williston,
and also largely interested in farm
ing.
During the luncheon Mr.. Prothro
invited to do so, made a brief talk
about the diversified farming inter-
ests around Williston. He referred
specifically to asparagus and to the
endeavors which have brought about
it's successful growing and market
ing. He declared the South Carroll
ma asparagus product to be superior.
saying that as there is no peach like
the Georgia peach, there is no aspara-
gus like the South Carolina asparagus.
Mr.. Prothro let it be known that
Williston asparagus growers have ar
ranged to put their product on the
Augusta market. Their canning
euuiDment to care for their surplus
crop is approximately perfect. De-
claring that Augustus interests and
Williston's interests are Identical
that is, that the Interests Of the one
are wrapped up IN the Interests of the
other-he bespoke for Williston as
paragus partial treatment at the
hands of Augusta consumers. He only
asked that the Wiiliston product be
given a thorough trial. He absolutely
knew of it's superiority. He knows,
that, if it is given its chance, it will
win it's way. He knows it is better
than any other asparagus, wherever
the other asparagus is grown or can
ned. All he asked is that one can
Of the Williston product be tried
out, leaving it to it's merit and worth
as to whether or not successor cans
be purchased. In other words, he is
positive that, if it is once purchased
and served, it will be purchased and
served for all future time. Buy the
first can of Williston asparagus be-
cause it is Williston's-because it is
grown by your neighbors and friends;
buy succeeding cans of Williston as
paragus solely and only because you
have found Williston asparagus, in
flavor, and in every other way, to be
the best asparagus you have ever put
on your table,
Mr.. Henry emphasized the talk of
Mr.. Prothro. Williston is our neigh
Dor. There is no day in which there
are not two to five Augusta CONNER
cial travellers in Williston, seeking
business. In Augusta we have, day i'll
and day out, urged diversifcation on
the farms. The people of Williston
have gone in for diversiication. This
asparagus industry has been one of
their successes. Their output of as
paragus isl the very best. All they
ask as to it is fair trial. They are
confident it will prove it's way. The
people of Williston are only asking
reciprocity and cooperation. Mr..
Henry urged that Augustans, espe-
cially Augusta housewives, give heed
to Mr.. Prothro's statements, and that
attention, every test and every op-
portunity.
Williston asparagus was served as
part of the menu at the Rotary lunch
con yesterday, number of cans hav-
ing been forwarded for that purpose,
with the compliments of the Willis
ton growers. Men who know declared
it to be of the very finest flavor,
speaking in the highest terms of the
vegetable and it's merit.-The Angus
