he machine, and
he will have something to say about it.

One of the local farmers came in to see that machine one day, and it was
operating, just batting the kernels out right and left. He looked up at
it, gandered it all over, and I asked him what he thought it was. He
said, "It's a damn lie. That thing can't do it."

So come see us.

Marketing Black Walnut Kernels

F. J. McCAULEY, McCauley Company, Chicago, Illinois

Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen: Tom has got me on the spot here. I
came here to speak to you about the marketing of black walnuts.
Machinery is a hobby of mine, and that thing there was just one of those
off-shoots of an infertile brain. But Tom is having a lot of trouble,
and a lot of fun with it, so if you people would like to see that

You are interested in growing the black walnuts and other nuts in the
shell, but they do have to be prepared for the public, and Tom's job,
and other people's that are in the shelling business, is getting them

fairly decent idea about the shelling of black walnuts from the machine
Smalley has. Tom's is a much larger size.

Now we will get down to this thing I came here to talk to you about, the
marketing of black walnuts. My speech is divided into three parts; the
first is about nuts, the second is about nuts and the third is about
nuts, and I am nuts. Yes, that's more true than you think. My nickname
throughout the United States is "Nuts" McCauley, and I am proud of it.
It is a good nickname to have for a man that's in the nut business. And
I most certainly am in the nut business, machinery on one hand and the
selling of various types of nut kernels on the other.

You people probably don't know it, but you have the best advertised nut
in the United States that you are working with, black walnuts. There are
very few people in the United States that don't know what a black walnut
kernel is, or a black walnut. In fact, I would say that 75 per cent of
them at some ti
