the fine Georgia melons and appeared
on television to plug Georgia watermel-
ons and Georgia in general.

Through the media of television
Georgia melons are being advertised in
Chicago several times a day. Every time
the Polk Bros. commercial comes on the

air the announcer shows a big Georgia

watermeion and reminds viewers that
It's Picnic Time and thus watermelon
time. In addition to the commercials,
special films and pictures made in Geor-
gia and in Chicago are being shown to
viewers regularly.

The 100,000 watermelon order placed
at the Atlanta Farmers Market by Mr.
Polk is believed to be the largest single
orde:.for watermelons ever placed by
any ene person anywhere in the nation.
The resulting publicity has been of great
value to Georgia farmers and to the state
in'general and before the shipments end,

watermelons from virtually every sec-

tion of the state will have been included
in the huge sale.

This large sale of Georgia melons has
