NEBEL-THAU IS
ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER OUTLOOK

According to letters received III
this city today. from Fred Nobel
Thau, who is conducting a public
ity campaign for Imperial Valley
cantaloupes in the east. he is meet
ing with splendid success, and has
sacrificed % pounds of avoirdupois
in the course of preaching the
eantaloupe gospel.
Writing ~from Chicago, Nebel
Thaw states that he has not heard
one complaint thus far from mer-
chants that they have received
green cantaloupcs in shipments ar
riving from Imperial Valley. On
the contrary, all have praised the
excellent quality of the local mel
ons.
In former years, the letter states.
considerable green cantaloupes have
been received. thus making the
merchants wary of early melons
shipped from here. One of his Jobs
has been to counteract this feeling,
and to assure the merchants that
nothing but mature melons are be
ing shipped from the valley thi.
season.
Nebel- Thau has conducted radio
programs in Kansas City, st. Louis,
Milwaukee. Chicago, Indianapolis,
and several other large cities of the
middle west. I'm every instance his
program has met with Il splendid
response.
.Cantaloupe literature has also
been distributed among produce
men, restaurant and cafe owners
and all who handle caMtaloupcs for
the retail trade. The attractive
stickers which have been scattered
by thousands, have also helped to
educate the people to demand lmpe-
rial Valley cantaloupes, Nebe'-ThMu
states.
AT the present time it is his plan
to continue on to New York, and
later he will visit other cities along
the Atlantic Seaboard.
