Poughkeepsie Eagle- News the World Direct to Our News omce by Associated Press Monday Morning, Heavy Apple Advertising Campaign Is Planned for State, Hubbard Says McIntosh Sales Went Up 51 Pct. In New England Drive SOME SOLD OUT Connecticut Drawing On Hudson Valley For its Supply An intensive advertising campaign to further sales of apples, especially Mcintoshes, will be undertaken soon in stores, the E. Stuart Hubbard, Dutchess Hudson river section by chain county grower, said yesterday.

Mr. Hubbard, who' made preliminary remarks on the subject of advertising apples at the fruit growers' convention in Kingston last week, said that the success of the undertaking in New England, especially in Connecticut, has prompted chain stores to extend the program in this section. Mr. Hubbard said that due to advertising, the sale of McIntosh appies was increased from 88,000 bushels to 120.000 bushels in the New England area, in the last three weeks of January. This represented an increase of 51 per cent.

In New York state, Dr. Hubbard said, an increase of 33 per cent was noted over the same period due solely to advertising. These results "have prompted retailers to continue in the same direction. Due to the tremendous and unlooked sale of apples, Mr. Hubbard said that he understood Connecticut, where the drive received excellent support, was sold out and is now drawing heavily from the Hudson valley.

Mr. Hubbard, who operates an extensive farm on the Noxon road, indicated that a similar campaign of advertising would be started in the near future in Poughkeepsie and other parts of Dutchess county, It is understood that the drive will spread to independent retailers aS well as to the chain stores. Such a campaign as this has never been fostered before In Poughkeepale, Mr. Hubbard said. Its success elsewhere, however, will probably make it an important part of the industry in the future.
