I'm OUR
VALLEY

THE WESTERN Fruit Jobbers
appreciated the hospitality Of the
Lower Rio Grande Valley.
They said so with a full page
advertisement in the Kansas City
Packer, sometimes referred to as
-the shippers Bible"
The advertisement carried in red
Ink the caption: "An Appreciation to
South Texas Shippers and Dealers"
Here is what the jobbers had to
say with reference to hospitality
and climate:
!, Our visit to the Lower Rio
1ande Valley. the Laredo and Win
. Garden districts, Houston and
Antonio has been a revelation.
n Coming as we have from the
frozen North, your climate, balmy
atmosphere and green verdure have
Ebeen a delight. Your hospitality
extended so layishly has given US
pleasure to be remembered always.
"We know the friendships cement
ed during our brief stay will exist
siways. and The Magic Valley as
we'll as the other sections of your
great state will be remembered in
al the years TO come.
"Our distribution facilities are at
your command. Whenever occasion
arises feel free to call upon us for
any assistance, whatever ii may be-"
THE VALLEY will accept the Job
bers' tender OF assistance in secur-
ing better distribution Of products.
The Valleys problem is not one of
production, IL is one Of distribution.
and those iobbers who recently tour
I'd this section can aid materially in
solving that problem.
IL is interesting to note that
among the firms listed in the Packer
advertisement are several who cover
all major and some of the minor
markets OF the United States. They
have highly efficient organizations
designed for the sole purpose Of
securing more efficient distribution
pf fruits and vegetables. Those
organizations will prove invaluable
o the Valley shippers and growers.
TWO MORE big tours Of the Val
Hey are scheduled for February.
A delegation Of $50 agricultural
workers, agricultural college faculty
heads and agricultural writer's will
arrive Friday morning.
The Southwestern Freight Claim
Agents association, with representa-
Itives from five states will hold their
annual convention in Brownsville

a tour Of the Valley on February Is.
Every town will supply its quota
