ftlEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 29. 1935. CHICAGO BABE IS AS PEARTRIBUTE Wrapper On Pear Gave In spiration, C. of C. Is In ; formed by Boy's Kin. At last a baby has been named af ter Medford, Oregon. It wasn't a local baby either; it was a Chicago baby. And It was from a Rogue valley pear shipped to Chlcngo by Guy W. Con nor. Inc., that the baby's name was derived. A letter telling of this incident was received yesterday from Marion Gor don, 5000 North Troy street, Chicago, bv A. H. Ban well, manager of the Jnckeon County chamber of com merce. Mr. Banwell became so excited over the glad tidings that one would have thought it woa HIS baby. He snatched the letter and tried to get It to the Mall Tribune and Mr. Conner simultaneously, and almost suc ceeded. When Mr. Conner was shown the letter be gasped: "My gosh." "My gosh," he repeated. "I've shipped pears all over the world and I've had responses from Calcutta, Liverpool, Montevideo, Addis Ababa, Halifax and other such places, but this is the climax. This tops them all." Every pear shipped out of Medford has a wrapper stamped with the trade name and a notice that a recipe book may be procured by writing to the JackBon County chamber of com merce. When the wrappers are re. turned to the chamber, they are sent to the Oregon -Washington Pear bur eau In Seattle and irom there the recipe books are distributed. The letter from Marion Gordon said: "We bought some of tho Guy Con ner brand of pears of Medford, Ore yon, and were very much pleased with them. We enjoyed their flrm ncsa and Juice. "Along with other fruit we took some of these excellent pears to a patient In a hospital. We did not notice that the wrappers were on the pears but when tho bany came the first name chosen for him was Mod ford. We were surprlsod to hear that and then we learned that the name was found on the wrapper around the pears. "I have a brother In the CCO camp In Medford, Oregon, and he wrote home to us and told us of the pcara that grow on the camp grounds. Wo thought the naming of this baby, which Is my nephew, was a coin cidence with tho pears and where they came from. "Would appreciate you sending me a free booklet on pear recipes," G. O. P.
