Frank Hrubetx, oui in the Lib
erty district, on.alem Route" 3,
has, for '21- years been marketing
his own prunes, direct to his own
customers, who live In every state
in the Union. He started in with
a small acreage, j He has Increased
it to 35 acres of bearing prune
trees, with five acres more in
young trees that are coming on.
They are all Italian prunes.
, How He Does 1U
Mr. Hrubetx :1s a Czech. He
was born In Bohemia, near the
city of Pisek, and about 35 miles
from Prague. That district, was
a part of Austria-Hungary then.
It Is in Czecho-Slovakia now.
Hrubetx Is well educated in his
natire language. He "writes for
Czech newspaper-in this country.
He gets his customers 'mostly' by
advertising In. those newspapers.
lie is disposing of 40 tons of his
own prunes this year. A few times
he has' been' obliged to get some

j How He Ships
His prunes go .mostly in white
inside sacks, with gunny sacks
on the outside. They go mostly
by freight, though he ships some
orders by express, and some by
parcel post. Once in a while he
has an order (to go in boxes, and
in these cases he Uses boxes. The
indications are that Mr. Hrubetz
may go right on increasing his
acreage as much as he ia able, and
still hare an outlet to the con
sumers direct. v ; -
I There are Others'. j- .
He gets better prices in this
way than he could get by selling:

Postponed- for J)rive

YMCA campaign, which has the
right, of way over all other activ
ities, the Chamber of Commerce is
breaking a precedent and for once,
the first time in its history, In
postponing- the -Monday 1 noon
luncheon next week. The lunch
eon was 'called . off upon request
of the executive committee which
is directing the YMCA campaign.
While the Chamber of Com
merce has never before abandoned
a luncheon because of other activ
ities, owing' to the1 interest and
the great number of people work
ins; "in' the 'campaign. It was
thought best to do so at this time!
The luncheons got tinder , way
this week and will be resumed on
the regular schedule beginning
