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,"
