FEEEY GETS IN BAD. 



C. B, Coe and Theodore Cobb, of D. 

 M. Ferry & Co., were present at the 

 canners' convention at Louisville last 

 week and are believed to have had a 

 thoroughly enjoyable time until the 

 February 12 issue of the Saturday 

 Evening Post appeared on the news- 

 stands. On page 49 was a Ferry ad that 

 began: 



STOP LIVING 

 OUT OB" CANS- 

 START A GARDEN 



Which do you prefer— the fragrance of flowers, 

 or bottled perfume? Which do you prefer— ripe 

 fruits and Teg«table8, or the run of a canning 

 factory? In winter, home-grown fruits cannot 

 be available, but why unnecessarily prolong the 

 "season of cans"? 



.^**Yxl°°? ^'""^^ y*>" tasted Peas that were 



? licked the instant they were big enough to eat 

 oo tender to stand transportation? Do you 

 know that, as a rule, the very choicest varieties 

 of fruits and vegetables can never be tinned 

 or even brought to market, because they do not 

 possess fiber or rind or some such protection 

 against early wilting. Start a garden. 



Whereupon the corn section of the 

 National Canners' Association adopted 

 this resolution: 



Resolved, that Secretary Gorrell be requested 

 to notify p. M. Ferry & Co.. of Detroit, Mich., 

 that in the opinion of the canners present at 

 this convention their advertisement which ap- 

 peared In the Saturday Evening Post, issue of 

 February 12, is extremely harmful to the best 

 Interests of our Industries. 



Not content with that, the following 

 telegram was wired by the Western Can- 

 ners' Association through its secretary: 



D. M. Ferry & Co., Detroit, Mich.: 



I note with deep regret your advertisement 

 in this week's issue of the Saturday Evening 

 Post, and cannot help but believe you were not 

 cognizant of its real meaning before being pub- 

 lished. As It Is a gross injustice to the canning 

 Interests of America, I feel confident, however 

 to rely upon your deep sense of fairness to make 

 such reparations as the best interests of our 

 business demand. 



G, W. DRAKE 

 Secretary Western Canners' Association. 



MR. BAENAKD IN THE MOVIES. 



The following letter is from John 

 Bodger, of Bodger & Sons, Los Angeles, 

 and refers to W. W. Barnard, of Chi- 

 cago, who is on the coast convalescing 

 after an illness: 



"I took Mr. Barnard out this after- 

 noon for a hundred-mile spin over Los 

 Angeles county and he seemed to enjoy 

 and stand the trip well. 



"We took in Universal City, the home 

 of the Universal Film Co., and initiated 

 him into the movie game. They were 

 pulling off a stunt where the citizens 

 were fleeing from strikers and soldiers 

 over a river. Visitors took the part of 

 the citizens, so we joined the crowd. 

 Mr. Barnard couldn 't run very fast and 

 we were the last to cross the bridge, 

 and as the nurses and I pulled him off 

 the bridge they blew it up with powder. 

 He and I were carried up a little and 

 then, in the splash of water as the tem- 

 porary bridge fell, we got sprinkled 

 some. So we were star actors in a reel 

 which will be known as 'Graft,' 

 series No. 14, political play. If you 

 ever see it posted downtown, take it in 

 and see what kind of actors we are. 



"Mr. Barnard is leaving tomorrow 

 morning (February 13) for his quiet 

 home in Santa Barbara, but we expect 

 to get him down here again a little 

 later."
