"OHIO ORCHARDIST SAYS THE BEST IN 15 YEARS' 

 BUYING EXPERIENCE" 



Chardon, Ohio 

 April 5, 1937 

 Gentlemen : 



I received my shipment of apple trees several days 

 ago. I have been buying apple trees from different 

 Nurseries either directly or indirectly for the last fif- 

 teen years and never have received any nicer stock or 

 have them come in, in as nice a condition as these trees 

 have this year. 



I think a man should be as w^illing to give credit 

 where it is due as he is to criticise vi^here its due and 

 that is why I am sending you this letter to let you 

 know the order of trees I received was in excellent 

 condition and was really nicer stock than I expected. 

 Thanking you for your promptness and your fine de- 

 livery, I am,

The 500 peach trees that you sold me this Spring were

 that did not grow.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT ^ WHAT IS WRONG? 



Every progressive business must advertise to increase the sales of their products and their 

 annual appropriation for advertising is from 6% to 10% of the gross volume of business done. 

 They cannot hope to sell their products by merely having them to sell and not telling the buying 

 or consuming public about the merits of their products. FRUIT GROWING IS JUST AS MUCH 

 A BUSINESS AS THE MANUACTURING OF RADIOS, AUTOMOBILES AND OTHER MATER- 

 IALS, BUT CONTRAST THE ADVERTISING USED TO SELL THESE PRODUCTS AS COM- 

 PARED WITH THE SELLING OF APPLES AND OTHER FRUITS. 



Apples are one of our finest health giving fruits and we are not having proper distributions 

 and consumption because:— SOMETHING IS WRONG SOMEWHERE— WHAT IS IT?— YOU 

 KNOW THE ANSWER? — or may we suggest some ways of overcoming your marketing problems. 

 Alright, consider these: Discard the Antiques in your orchards, both in trees and varieties — pack a 

 uniform and standardized grade— REGISTER YOUR BRAND AND ADVERTISE YOUR PRO- 

 DUCTS. CREATE A DEMAND FOR YOUR FRUIT JUST AS THE RADIO AND AUTOMOBILE 

 MANUFACTURERS DO FOR THEIR PRODUCTS. YOU HAVE MANY NATURAL ADVAN- 

 TAGES IN YOUR PRODUCT— USE THEM.
