HOTELS. REPORT
A little tag, about as big as four
or five postage stamps, is proving
a good seller for ihe Oregon prune.
The tag Is being put cut by Bert
Fanning of the Producers Canners
and packing company and Is being
attached to hotel menus in a large
number of hotels along the coast.
Al N. Pierce, manager of the Mar
ion, has been assisting Panning in
getting the tag put over. The re
sult has been high praise for the
prima as well as a considerable
number of orders.
Tho particular prune boosted Is
the Itoyal Purple put up In syrup
and prune demands at breakfasts
have Increased many times in the
various hotels where the tag has
been adopted.
As an Instance of how the use
of tho tag is worked, Manager
Pierce cited K. L. Lobban of San I
liernadino, who stopped here on a
lour, ate a dish of tho prunes on
the strength of the tag and urged
some bo sent to a Minneapolis
business man, his friend. A letter
rrom m inn capons asks for more
prunes, and conveys word that the
prune In syrup is the most delic
ious fruit lie ever tasted, and that
he will continue to keep loaded up
on tuem.
Manager "Weaver of the Umpqua
hotel put the tags on his menu
cards, and following the first meal
sold a case of the prunes to a
Seattle merchant who stopped
there for breakfast. Similar in
stances are being heard of all along
the line.
.Manager Pierce at the northwest
hotelmcn's convention in Seattle re
cently secured the promise of a
number of leading holehiien along
Hie coast to carry the tags on their
menu cards.

The One Best Tire
Unlil C-T-C cords came on the market
early last year all tires seemed very
much alike to the overage car owner.
Hut these big oversize C-T-C hand-built
low inflation cords have proved so nota
bly superior that it is n tfraliliealion to
us to carry them as part of our very
superior service to motorists.
C-T-C's were the first tires built for rea
sonably low inflation to make riding
easier and "conserve the car", being
even stronger and heavier than ordinary
enrds. The tread is especially toughened tr
stand mountain and crushed-rock roads, and
is tiiiequalt-d for non-skid. Nor can miy tiro
on the market outwear them.
