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.

The favorite ammunition seems to
be water, but autoists have com
