"The Velie was drawn canyon through deep said WeGraw," into paved with myriad slopes and over rough gradients." The American Fruit Growers Inc. of California is the Western division of the A. F. G. main office, Pittsburg. The national organization has an estimated yearly shipment of 30,000 cars, grown partly on the company's own property, the balance handled for its growers. The Citrus Department is a distinct unit of the California Division, under the supervision of the President and General Manager with its own sales manager and field force. We are represented in the larger cities by our own salaried employees, and by brokerage representatives, covering every car lot market in the U.S. and Canada.

OSBORNE, District Agent, FULLERTON THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Velie Is Victorious in Conquest of Grand Canyon Frank McGraw, of McGraw Bros., Velie dealers in this section, is telling the story of a remarkable feat of motor car performance. A Velie six, of the Light Six type, has lain seige to the great granite walls of the Grand Canyon of Arizona and has returned to Los Angeles victorious. To be more specific, the Velie has made its way down into the depths of the canyon and to the very banks of the Colorado river, then it has climbed back to the top on its own power, and it has made the entire run from Los Angeles to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back again to Los Angeles without a drop of water being poured into the radiator after the start of the trip at Los Angeles. "The Velie was driven down the canyon through deep dry sand," said WeGraw, "into creek bottoms paved with myriad stones and rocks and over rough grades almost completely covered with boulders large and small—smooth and rough. Many times when two wheels of the car rested on boulders the two opposite wheels were in the air. The whole of the fight to the river was an inch by inch and foot by foot struggle against rocks and debris that erosion had put into the granite walled gorge. "The drop down into the canyon was made and the Velie finally, reached the very water's edge of the Colorado river. It had been planned that photographs would be taken of the ceremony of putting Colorado river water into the radiator. But when the cap was removed at the river plenty of water was found in the radiator—which fact surprised even the ardent Velie boosters who were piloting the car. "Then came the trip back up — where every inch of the way had to be travelled over again on the upgrade in order to gain the rim of the canyon. Up the precipitous nineteen mile course the Velie clambered to reach the rim—one mile above the river's edge. The car made the climb out under the power developed under its own bonnet, to the evident dismay of the muleteer at Peach Springs who had expected to be called upon to take several mules down to pull the car out. The entire population of Peach Springs turned out to greet the Velie when they saw the nose of the car coming up out of the great gorge." WEINER BAKE AT COUNTY PARK The Young People's Department of the Methodist White Temple enjoyed a welter bake at Orange county park last evening. About 35 young folks motored up at 6 o'clock, where they cartook of a splendid picnic supper. Later games were played and a pleasant evening spent. The arty return late in the evening. A. W. Thomas.
