Outstanding P. E. I. Potato Display At Royal Winter Fair Last Month .

' rotmtwrtttlt tau . - i'I.'tt1'l.lium .. y

As a part of its advertising pol- icy the Potato Marketing Board this year decided to put on a dis- play (shown above) of Prince Ed- ward Island potatoes. both seed

- and tableotock. at the Royal Win-

By Federallravel Bureau”

tor Fair. Toronto. For this pur- pose a number of 50 1b., 15 1b.. and 10 lb. lots of paper bags were assembled and shipped to Toron- to. Additional to this were sev- eral 75 lb. sacks of tablesiock as well as samples of Foundation seed stock of the following vari- eties-Green Mountain, Irish Cob- bler, Sebago, Keswick. Canso,Pon- tiac. Warba, Katahdin. The paper sacks were arranged on stands so that the various brands were in full view of the public whereas the seed was placed in open trays on a long table. Other features included photographs of potato fields and a few Island scenes to lend color and interest to the gen- eral set up of the booth. Thu was all backed up by a large sign 15 feet by 3 feet containing 6-inch block letters in blue on a. white background containing the words: "Prince Edward Island. Canada's Garden Province, Specializing In High Class Seed and Table Pota- toes".

The booth was strategically placed so that the large sign was readily visible from quite a dis- tance. Also featured was a large framed map of "The Island" which was lit up with an electric lamp.

"The Royal Winter Fair opened on Friday, November 13th and from then until the closing night of Saturday. November zlst there was a steady stream of visitors looking over the various exhibits on display in this immense build- ing." reports Mr. S. G. Peppin. technical advlsor to the Potato Marketing Board. ”'I'housunds of people visited this section of the Fair every day with a good por- tion of them stopping to look more closely at our display and to ask questions stbcut potatoes and Prince Edward Island in par- ticular.

j'Mariy stated they use nothing but Prince Edward Island pota- toes, cxpreming tr. preference for them over all others. The major- ity apparently like a potato which cooks dry and mealy and does not go into a mush and cook black. They also prefer an even pack especially in the 10 or 15 lb. pack- age which incidentally is the size most in demand. Very few seemed to want the 75 lb. jute bag at all and only a few enquired for the 50 lb. paper bag for storlng.

"The most important point rais- ed by the majority of consumers was the lack of the variety name on the package. The average housewife is looking for quality and wants to know exactly what she is purchasing and not just 'white potatoes but to get to know which variety cocks best. This it seems to the writer is a move in the right direction and should be so recognized by our shiprpera and growers alike.

"Competition for this tablestock trade is very keen and in Ontario they are certainly improving on their production. grading. packing and selling methods. A special feature at The Royal was a com- pctltion sponsored by the Ontario Department of Agriculture Crop Improvement Association with money prizes ranging from 3110.00 down to 300.00 for the best coni- mercisi exhibit. This was open to any group of growers, grower dealer dealens or grower Co-oper- ative. Five groups in all put on excellent displays showing graded potatoes in various sized contain- crs mostly paper in the small 10 and 16 lb. package. one County Exhibit had a turntable on which was placed plates of various cook- ed potatoes includtng boiled, bak- ed. creamed, scalloped, salad, French Fries. Chips and Franco- nls-the latter being potatoes baked in the pan alongside a. roast -n very attractive demonstration and advertisement for their pota- true. A diploma. was also awarded by The Canadian Horticultural Council for the bestdimlay in this group. Snyder: Potato Chip Co. gave money prizes of 350.00 and 325.00 for the best en-trim in the tsblestock classes.

"All of this goes in demonstrate the fact that the Ontario grower is being induced and inatructcd to Mt no a. quality product which will actually meet with the gen- eral approval of the Ontario con- surner.

"The sooner our grower; gm) dealers realise that fact the boner

it will be for all concerned in the

-qua..---p-

potato industry and to the gen- eral economy of this province. It is no longer a question of what we want to grow and ship to the! consuming centers but rather what they are demanding. That in ef- fect means the ultimate consumer (the houscwifeir wants consumer size packages with full weight. good grade and estpecially good table quality-a potato with flavor vvthtich cooks dry and manly and which will not go to mush or cook black-both common complaints. The average consumer will with- out question Day a premium for such quality goods.

"There is no. question but that our display of Prince Edward Is- land potatoes placed before the thousands of people attending the Royal Winter Fair will pay divi- dends and more than compensate for the ex.peridittu'es involved.

"Many complimentary remarks were received on the general ap- pearance of the booth. One in particular came from a United States visitor who is associated with the International Fair in Chicago who remarked that our display was one of the best com- mercial exhibits he had ever seen.

"A special feature of our exhibit was the gift package of potatoes to housewives: This was a 5 lb . sample of Green Mountains at-. tmctlvely packaged and easily car- ' Pled. From 100-200 samples were given out every day of the Fallh amounting to 1,000 in all. and cer- i tainly was appreciated by the re-i clpieills. We also gave away 1.000. 'Placemau' secured from the Char- lottetotvn Junior Chamber of Com- merce which not only advertised The island as a tourist resort but; also contained a special message; on potatoes. The Travel Bureau also provided us with a larget number of their bulletins featur-t ing Prince Edward Island tourlstt attractions which were handed out' to NW Who seemed interested in coming to Prince Edvmrd Island for their next vacation. This booth literally put P. E. 1. ion the map'."i Mr. Peppln states he was very? ably assisted tn the assemblingl and care of the exhibit by Mr. C. E. Show.

The Potato Marketing Board also wish to recognize the gener- ous sssistance rendered by the; management of the Royal Agri-y culture Winter Fair in making. the booth space available anti. which aided in no small measurcl in making 1 success of the whole ' project.
