Advertising The Agricultural
And Horticultural Resorces
Of The South
The Atlantic Coast Line’s es
pecially equipped exhibit car left
Wilmington Monday night, the
18th, with one of the very best
Southern exhibits that has ever
been sent out, with a view to at
tract settlers [to the Atlantic
Coast Line territory, viz: Vir
ginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida land
Alabama.
The first stop will be the’Can-
adian National Exposition, which
will be held at Toronto, August
3rd to September 8th, Then the
car will double back and the ex
hibit will be displayedjat various
fairs in New York State, and
the New England States, tfuntil
November 1st.
The exhibit consists of sixty-
three glass jars of fruits and
vegetables; seventeen glass jars
of grain, peanuts, neas, rice etc.;
fifteen glass jars cf pecan nuts;
Georgia and Florida cane syrup;
three large cases' of jj'grain in
straw, forage grasses, tobacco,
corn; peanuts and miscellanous
products; grape fruit, pineapples
watermelons sugar cane; twenty
small bales of different kinds cf
hay grown in the South; cocoa-
nuts; a small bale of cotton; cot
ton on the stalk; sweet potatoes;
corn on the stalk, showing the
prolific verities with four to six
ears to the stalk.
A great deal of time was con
sumed in gettingThe very best
products grown in the South,
and much time was consumed hi
preparing and putting up this ex
hibit in an attractive manner.
A fact which the Southern
farmer should be proud of is that
this exceptional exhibit was sec
ured from regular farms and not
a single item from an experi
mental farm.
In addition to their regular
•‘Nation’s Garden Spot” booklet
they prepared a very handsome
booklet containing twenty-five
beautiful agricultural and horti
cultural views along the Atlantic
Coast Line, especially for distri
bution on this trip.
The exhibit is in charge of two
experienced men who will take
special pains to explain the ex
hibit and the. conditions in the
South to all visitors.
We think this kind of adver
tising should certainly attract
settlers to this unexcelled coun
try if they can be attracted.
