NATIONAL APPLE SHOW SPECIAL LEAVING SPOKANE, WASHINGTON, FOR CHICAGO, 

 ILLINOIS, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1910, SECOND SECTION FOLLOWING LATER WITH 

 EXHIBITORS. THE LAST CAR BEING USED FOR THE OFFICIALS OF THE APPLE SHOW 



Boston, New York and Detroit, are 

 working to have shows in their cities 

 in 1911, pledging every support and co- 

 operation. Another thing brought out is 

 that a permanent building must be 

 erected to house the fourth annual com- 

 petitive exposition in Spokane. 



E. F. Cartier Van Dissel, first vice- 

 president and chairman of the board of 

 trustees of the National Apple Show, 

 Inc., says that while Chicago will .never 

 have another opportunity to see the 

 Spokane exposition, it is likely a circuit 

 will be established to take in a half dozen 

 important Eastern cities. 



"The Chicago show was operated at 

 a financial loss, as we expected it would 

 be," Mr. Van Dissel said, "but the ex- 

 hibitors were highly satisfied with the 

 results. Considering the opposition of 

 The Chicago Tribune and the United 

 States Land and Irrigation Congress, 

 backed by that publication, our exhibi- 

 tion was a magnificient success, and the 

 Northwest was amply repaid in the 

 splendid publicity it received in other 

 mediums, notably The Inter Ocean, The 

 Record-Herald, The Examiner, The 

 American, The Post, The Journal, The 

 Daily News, Chicago Commerce, Mor- 

 rison's Chicago Weekly, The Drovers' 

 Journal and hundreds of daily and 

 weekly publications in the Central West." 



Many of the exhibitors sold their dis- 

 plays to commission houses and depart- 

 ment stores at good figures, while 

 others disposed of their products direct 

 to restaurants, hotels and fruit dealers. 



Chief interest at the Third National 

 Apple Show in Spokane, centered in the 

 sweepstakes event on carlot entries.
