52,000 POUNDS OF BROOKS COUNTY
HAMS BOUGHT BY FLORIDA CONCERN
Quitman, Ga., March 24.-A remarkable evidence of the growing demand for Brooks county hams was demonstrated today when a traveling man from Jacksonville found, upon his arrival here a letter from a Jacksonville delicatessen concern asking him to see if there was not some possible way for him to get shipped to them 1,000 pounds a week of Brooks county hams, stating they had been unable to get any one in the county to agree to ship, claiming the demand was greater than the supply.
He found one party who agreed to ship for one year 1,000 pounds of ham per week.
This is claimed to be the largest single order for meat ever sent out of Georgia and marks the beginning of a new era in Brooks county, as it has demonstrated what can be done.
