The picking, packing and marketing of these fruits are important 

 considerations if we wish to secure and maintain a good reputation 

 for fair, square dealing with the buyer. We must either let the buyer 

 pack his own fruit or we must guarantee what we pack so that the 

 buyer will feel safe in buying. Good, sound, ripe, well colored, fruit, 

 free from scab or insect pests, must be our standard and must be 

 strictly adhered to if we are successful. To this end all fruit growers 

 are working and the new comer to Missouri will find here every op- 

 portunity to maket and everyone to help him maintain this reputation. 

 He not only gets the help of those in his community, but also the 

 assistance and reputation of others and of the State itself in dis- 

 posing of its products. The advantage of this reputation is hardly 

 appreciated enough by those who have never tried its value. But 

 when the reputation of th(j State or county or location has once been 

 made everyone who comes into that location reaps the benefit of it. 

 It is much easier to sell if you have buyers hunting you than if yoii 

 have to seek after the buyer. In the one case they come to you and in 

 the other case you go to them.
