must learn one thing before they can expect to establish a 

 reputation on the market, and that is that their fruit must 

 be packed fairly and squarely according to its merit and in 

 the most attractive manner possible. Some growers seem to 

 think that if their product is good enough for them it is good 

 enough for the purchaser regardless of the quaUty and the 

 fairness of the pack. Such growers can keep up that prac- 

 tice tili doomsday, but they will find outside markets against 

 them just as long as they persist in letting nature handle 

 and attend to everything.
