a9 well. In artdliion, we have had all the advantage, of stimulating demand
through the increased consumption which the advertising brought. It should j
be remembered it Is the advertising of the Florida Citrus Exchange, and that j
alone, which has kept the consumption of our oranges and grapefruit so stimu
lated that it has more than kept pace with the tremendous increase we have
had in production.
Right here, let me point out one big advantage we have over some other
folks. A man or a woman has confidence In any brand or trademark just
in proportion to the satisfactory experience with the products sold under It
There is always the posibillty of someone losing confidence In Pink Parrot
oranges because of some unsatisfactory experience with a Pink Parrot canta
loupe. Sealdsweet is ours. It belongs to us. Best of all, it is wholly under
OUT own control right here in Florida; and is used only in connection with!
citrus fruits. The Florida Citrus Exchange has had any number of proposi
tions put up to it from time to time from people who wanted to use Sealdsweet
cm jellies, marmalades or what not. They have appreciated the tremendous j
selling value of this well known trademark. However, the management al
ways has stood steadfast in confining Sealdsweet to our oranges, grapefruit j
and tangerines. I believe that policy has paid substantial dividends up to
now, and will continue to pay in the future.
George Hopper says that money has been important to the human family
ever since the dove went out and brought the green back to Noah. I am not
one of those who urges membership in the Florida Citrus Exchange tor senti
mental reasons; but I believe that others should consider membership in the
organization on the same basis that I do my own, which Is because I believe
it obtains for me in the long run more money for my fruit than I could get
In any other way.
With best love to Etta, the youngsters and yourself, I am. as ever,

will be spoken of as something that
existed in "the good old days."
"Women of course will be chided
for their weakness. They have pro
tested that the short skirt is healthy
and comfortable, and tried to keep
it in the mode, but what are the
poor things to do when the whole
sale dressmakers just won't make
short skirts. The girls must buy
what they are offered or nothing.
And where's the harm? The change
means more cloth used, more mill

changing mood of our women folk
has kept the wheels of industry
