Repeated

nuuallfl cndorScment OF the
success Of the 1925 can.aloupr pub
icity campaign together with the
plea that similar campaign be con
dHcted next season, is contained in
n letter received hy the Imperial
Valley Canialoupc Growers associa-
'ion from Schoenburg Collins com
panv of Chicago, one Of the LARGEST
produce houses in the country.
The letter speaks 50 highly of
the campaign conducted by Fred
Nebcl Thau of this city, that il il
reproduced here in fun:
we take thi, occasion 10 lhank
your organization fer the snlcndid
cooperation given to rs commission
men by sending Mr.. Ncbe! Thau
here. II was the writer's privilege
and pleasure 10 work with hia while
in this market alul we want to 20
on record as endorsing his work her"
very highly.
IL certainly was an imdcfatig-
ablr worker, IL very enthusiastic cX-
poncnt of your product, and his
pleasing personality won him ready
friendship with all whom he had an
opportunity OF mceriEg. With his
assistance we were able to put post
crS ;ll over the city, especially in
every chain and department store,
to which trade our firm has partic-
ularlv entered There is no doubt
that his efforts helped the canta-
lopc deal materially at the time of
The campaign and that the good
work done then is still bearing fruit.
1T is only to be regretted that
Mr.. Nebcl-TLau could not have
devoted more time hcrc-particu-
larly in advance Of the heavy move
mcnt. If he could have done so we
would have been able TO get good
committee at work assisting him
and accomplished far more than
we did in the short space Of time
that was left to us.
See Beneficial Results
1--WE believe that very beneficial
results can hc expected from Il cam
paign for next season, and that the
time to plan it is in the near fu-
ture, 50 that all possible preliminary
arrangements will be made we'll in
advance of the opening Of next
years deal. Also that a much more
thorough and impressive campaign
can be put on with Il little added
expense by utilizing the best avail
able ''homc talent in doing all
possible work, and by having
good supply of attractive posters
and circulars prepared in advance,
getting the benefit of quantity

IF we could have committee

tions-and then Mr.. Nobcl-Thau
here himself during the campaign
TO put pep into il, make talks over
the radio, etc.-wc could assure I'm
pcrial Valley cantaioupcs public
iiy campaign that would do the pro
duet justice.
"Wc hope that we are not con-
sidered too prcsumptious in making
these suggestions, but the success.
of the recent publicity has left us
enthusiastic. and we will be even
more concerned in the deal next sea
SON because we will then be in our

the balance to the Pacific Ccllulosn

The wine which provided the toast was given 10 the organization by Mir. Voligny in 1905.
 Besides Mir. Voligny the veterans at what probably was the last meet ing of the trio, are John Blake, of Mellon, Wis, S3 years old, and Ja- cob Secrest Minneapolis, S3 years old. Voligny is the dean of the trio, having reached SC years.
 Although the wishes of their com rades in arms provided that the toast to the departed members of the club should be drunk by the two last sur vivors it was decided yesterday that the weight of the encroaching years was growing too burdensome to per init annual gatherings.

II You Tire
Of
Chronic Fatigue

Thousands are victims of chronic
fatigue-0nd do not know it,
If you tire easily, feel "all in" at
night, ard wake up unrefreshed in the
morning - if you are always weak,
nervous, headachy, etc. nine chances
out of ten the real cause is chronic
fatigue.
Ordinary fatigue - the kind you feel
after hard work, etc. lis normal. That's
nothing to worry about. But chronic
fatigue comes from within. Your nerves,
muscles, ETC., have become debilitated
and cannot function properly.
To conquer it you must get at its
cause--in the blood. For it is when your
blood is thin and pale, lacking in suffi-
.cient iron, that you become rundown,
and are victim of chronic fatigue.
What you need is to strengthen your
system by getting more iron in your
blood. Don't take the older mineral
iron medicines which many doctors
now say do little good. Take organic
iron-Nuxated Iron-which is like the
iron in your own blood. Unlike ordinary
mineralironit does not injure the teeth
or upset the stomach, but is promptly
assimilated. Take Nuxated Iron for
just 2 weeks and you'll be astonished
how it begins to revitalize you and gives
YOU new strength and endurance.
Money back if not improved. At all
good druggists.
