Springfield, Mass., July 14, 1915. 
Dear Sir: My family attended the Brockton Fair in 1913. In a letter received from my daughter 
of Ironton, Ohio, this morning, she writes: “You should have a dahlia bed at Duxbury; they are 
wonderful. I have never seen such fine ones as we have. Came from Alexander of East Bridgewater. 
Everyone comes to look at ours. He was the man who had such fine ones at the Brockton Fair.” 
I am simply drawing your attention to this, as it is many times pleasing to a person to know that 
exhibition and advertising sometimes pays. Very truly yours, L. S. BROWN.
