Dear Peach Grower:
Peach Festival time is here again, and in your honor as a peach grower, a Peach Growers Dinner will be held on Wednesday, June 11 at 7:00 P. M. at the Poinsett Restaurant. You are cordially invited to be my guest at this dinner.
We will be honored with the presence of Miss Martha Brannon, our first "S. C. Peach Queen", an interesting program plus a good meal.
Enclosed is a self-addressed return post card that you are requested to mail to me by June 6. It is important that his card be returned as soon as possible so that your place may be reserved.
Looking forward to seeing you at the Festival, I am
Cordially yours,
Verne Smith, Sponsor
