Gentlemen: - 

The task of preparing your illustrated recipe book 

has been a very pleasant one, for there are practically un- 
limited attractive and appetizing combinations to be obtained 
with Blue Ribbon Peaches. 

The possibilities of Blue Ribbon Peaches are well nigh 
infinite. In my experiments I found that this wonderful fruit 
food can be used in the same delicious ways as the fresh fruit. 

In my opinion your product is economical and convenient, 
and when suitably cooked and daintily served, is one of the most 
nutritious and easily digestible foods that can be provided either 
for adults or for children. 

Whoever has not been tempted to try what nourishing 
dishes can be produced with the aid of Blue Ribbon Peaches, end who 
may be induced by means of a recipe or illustrated dish in this 
book to make the trial, is very certain to come under the spell 
of this magic fruit. 

Very truly yours, 







Reach 



es 



the same as fresh peaches except 
that the water has been remcrved 
by natural evaporation in the open sun- 
shine. * They differ from other dried 
peaches in that the fuzz <*nd much of the 
peeling has been remcrved by a thorough 
'washing and brushing, before the fruit is 
packed $* <SMany attractive dishes can be 
prepared from them $* They are bright in 
color as well as wholesome and economical. 

Food authorities advise that people 
should eat more fruit $* It is the natural 
food of man 3* ^ch in natural sugars 
and fruit acids, they are also one of 
the principal sources of mineral elements 
so important to health # These together 
with their laxative properties make dried 
peaches a valuable article of food for 
daily use, either as stewed peaches for 

breakfast or in a variety of soups, 
salads and deserts.

BLUE RIBBON PEACHES are packed by 
the California Peach Growers, Inc., of Fresno, 
California, a co-operative marketing organi- 
zation consisting of 6500 growers, who have 
banded themselves together for the purpose 
of selling their own crops. 

The object of the Association has been to 
secure wide distribution for peaches under 
the BLUE RIBBON BRAND, which means 
quality, and to place the fruit in the hands 
of the consumer at a reasonable price. 
Through the marketing company, the 
growers are enabled, very largely, to elim- 
inate speculative profits between the producer 
and the consumer. 

The growers, who are thus conscientiously 
trying to improve the quality of the fruit, 
and to market it economically, deserve the 
support of the consuming public. 

Ask for dried peaches under the BLUE 
RIBBON BRAND. They are packed in san- 
itary cartons, as well as in bulk.
