The Fruitgrowers' league, at a j mcethiK held In the Hotel Mcdford last night, endorsed a tentative pear markett expansion program for the coming season, presented by the Winter Pear committee, through David II. Wood, chairman, and ex tended a vote of confidence and appreciation to the Winter Pear committee for their efforts. The 11130 program, as presented, is as follows: Continuance nf Detroit a a Hose pear market, without guarantee of , Xew York prices, and on a larger J scale than Ii-st year. Opening of Hose pear markets In two eastern cities to be selected, along the same lines as in Detroit. but with a guarantee of New York prices. Presentation of a radio program iti Detroit, in connection with the Rose campaign, to cost $2 275. thereby attracting thousands of housewives, where last year only hundreds were attracted. Newspaper advertising and deal ers' service In Detroit, at an est!-1 mated cost of $7-5. making the i total cost of the proposed Detroit campaign $3000. lOstablishment of two new mar kets in two eastern cities at the same costs a Detroit, totals $!000.
