Cooperative Advertising
Thnt Sells Your Crops

You would like to see your crops advertised
in the rich markets of America. The experience
of others has shown you that growers who create
desire in consumers for their fruits get the best
prices You can plan ahead with confidence when
advertising is building up demand tor your
crops, when it is widening your outlets and
creating new markets.
It is financially impossible for any but the
very largest growers associations to pay for con-
tinuous advertisements large enough to win
permanent place in the buying publlc's favor and
memory. A single page in colors IN one of the
leading magazines is quoted at 81 600. The latest
rate quoted for one of the New Yorks most
widely read newspapers is $500 page.
Individual growers can't assemble, under
one brand, enough shipments to meet the expense
ofcontinuous use ofeftectlve advertising mediums.
Cooperative effort, made possible by the ad-
vertising and sales plan of the American Fruit
Growers Inc. gives growers the benefit of con-
tnuous and effective advertising of their crops
without submerging the identity of their brands
which have become known to the trade.
The A. F. G. trademark is known to mill
ions of consumers asa ign of dependable quality.
They know that the Blue Goose used in connec-
ton with it indicates superfine quality. Adverts-
ing has done this.
All growers who ship through the American
Fruit Growers may place the A. F. G. trademark
on their labels. On the highest quality they use
the Blue Goose. It's part of the sales service.

DEEP SEA MOTOR BOAT
RACE is PROPOSED

HAVANA, Cuba, Aug. 23.-Among
the conditions it is proposed to inn
pose on entries in the international
motor boat races next February be-
tween Miami, Fla, and Havana is
that the owners of the craft must be
aboard during the contests. An
other is that the contestants engage
in a 20 or 25 mile race off Havana
so that the people of Cuba may have
an opportunity to view the entry of
the Havana Yacht Club, Miss Havana,
in action.
According to Rafael Posse. the
Havana yatchman who is represting
Cuba in the negotiations for the race,
prizes amounting to $4,000 have
been assured through the support
given the event by the National
Commission on Encouraging Tourist
Travel. This sum will be divided in
three prizes of $500, $4,000 and s2,-
900, while the winner of the race
will receive a $500 trophy, with $500
and 5000 cups to those taking Sec
ond and third place.
The Miami Havana race will oc-
cupy a unique place in speed boat
| ing, according to Mr.. Posse, who
points out that while the boats will
race in sheltered waters from Miami
| to the southernmost top of Florida
in crossing the channel they must
be prepared to meet open sea con-
ditions which will test the metal of
the croft to the utmost and inject an
element of personal danger for the
contestants.

Historic Records
