"Los Gatos Correspondence : "The first carload of prunes to leave here this year was shipped yesterday by Curt Roemer of the San Tomas Drier over the Sunset route for the Eastern market. This is not only the first carload to leave Los Gatos, but the county or State, and is the product of the one drier. Mr. Roemer should have had the honor last year, as the first shipment then made was gathered from two or three plants and was a combination shipment made two days prior to his first carload of his own preserving. Mr. Roemer is entitled to the belt, having won in two straight heats."
