PAGE SEVEN PEARS FOR TOURISTS ABBEY'S GESTURE TO BUILD UP GOOD WILL A novel plan for spreading good will and advertising the Rogue Rivar valley Is being carried out succaes fully by Walter Abbey, Inc., automo bile distributor, 133 South Riverside avenue.' For some time the Abbey firm has been giving a gunny sack of Medford Bartlett pears to all tourists who call at It sales office or service sta tion. Each motorist la told the. t the pears are grown here and that the gift Is a memento of the valley. "You'd be surprised how gratified the motorists are to get the pears," Mr. Abbey said.. "The gift Is accepted for what It Is meant to be a small laken of hospitality." ' News of the gift pears Is spreading up and down the coast, Mr. Abbey said. The other day a motorist called at the Abbey sales room and aald he had been told about the pears by a fellow tourist he had met ISO miles borth of here, Mr. Abbey related. Already the Abbey firm has dis tributed two tans of Bartletts and to. day another half ton was ordered. The company plans to continue the gift policy for the remainder of the season. Mr. Abbey suggested that a great 4 deal of good-will advertising could be accomplished by giving a small bo of Medford pears with the com pliments of the city to every motor ist who registers at the AAA office here. 18.80. sorted la per cent: around 300 usu iooa oa-io. csuiornia wooled lambs, 8.M straight.
