Ritz-Caelton Hotel, 

 New York, January 15, 1918. 

 E. Clemens Hoest Co., 



San Francisco, Gal. 



Gentlemen : After trying your different dried and powdered vegetables, I 



take pleasure in advising you that we found them in perfectly sound condition. 



If cooked properly, they are far superior in taste and more advantageous 



than preserved canned vegetables, as 'they retain all through an excellent flavor 



of fresh vegetables. 



I can safely say I see a fine opening on the market for your useful new 

 products. 



Yours, very truly, 



Albebt Kellee, General Manager.

 Deae Sbb: After repeated trials of a variety of your dried vegetables, in- 

 cluding tomatoes, at the Hotel Manhattan, we found them very satisfactory, and 

 are convinced that vegetables preserved in this form are admirable for use when 

 seasonable, fresh vegetables are not obtainable.

St. Fr.^ncis Hospital, 

 San FronciM'O. Cal.. December 22, 1917. 

 E. Clemens Hoest Co., 



San Francisco, Cal. 

 Gentlemen : I am more than pleased with the samples sent to the hospital, 

 and consider them a splendid article. 



I wish to add that the drying does not seem to change the flavor in the least. 

 It seems impossible to believe that tbey are not a fresh article after they are 

 cooked. 



Very truly, yours, 



Mabel B. Webb, Hospital DietitioM.
