Adaptability and Speed 

 on All Kinds of Work 



The "Silent Smith" typewriter is equally efficient, 

 whether the work is specialized or diversified 



C Modern business demands typewriting, not only for 

 correspondence, but for more complex work — billing, 

 stencil writing, check writing, tabulating, label writing, 

 card index work, filling in ruled forms. 



C. The "Silent" models of the L. C. Smith & Bros, type- 

 writer, called "silent" because of the extremely small 

 amount of noise in their operation, provide for this 

 wide variety. 



C. The quickly interchangeable platen, the variable 

 line spacer and the decimal tabulator make possible a 

 great variety of work on one machine. The speed of 

 all these operations is only limited by the speed of the 

 operator.

with greater or less rapidity until it 

 goes into consumption; the tempera- 

 tures maintained in transit determine 

 to a great degree both the rate of ripen- 

 ing and the development of fungi and 

 other decay-producing organisms. The 

 investigations during the past season 

 have had mainly in view the improve- 

 ment in refrigerator car equipment, 

 especially as regards insulation and 

 facilities for free air circulation. The 

 results of the work thus far have shown 

 that through certain modifications in 

 the ice hunkers, through the use of 

 racks, or false floors, and through bet- 

 ter insulation, it is entirely practicable 

 to increase the efficiency of refrigera- 

 tion, and to haul larger loads of fruit 

 than formerly and with a lesser ice 

 consumption. 



The results are particularly of im- 

 portance to the shippers in that they 

 can obtain uniformly better refrigera- 

 tion ultimately at a lesser cost. Prob- 

 ably the most important development 

 in connection with these investigations 

 is the practicability of using small 

 amounts of salt during the first two 

 icings in cars with modified bunkers 

 and racks to accomplish a quick cooling 

 comparable with precooling in either 

 warehouses or car-precooling plants, 

 with practically no extra cost and no 

 delays for precooling. Another import- 

 ant factor is the fact that the fruit is 

 subjected to no extra handling except 

 the handling that is necessary to place 

 it in the car as it is ordinarily loaded. 

 It also makes possible the shipment of 

 tree-ripened or more fully matured

results in storage. In connection with 

 the investigations of the cold storage of 

 Newtown apples in the Watsonville dis- 

 trict in California, the most important 

 discovery is without doubt the relation 

 of tree vigor to keeping quality of fruit 

 in storage. Experiments extending over 

 two seasons have clearly shown a 

 marked and consistent difference in the 

 keeping quality of fruit from different 

 trees, particularly trees that for any 

 reason differ in vigor and general 

 healthfulness. During the past season 

 the possibilities of common or air- 

 cooled storages in different sections 



were carefully investigated. The re- 

 sults of these investigations have shown 

 clearly the practicability of such stor- 

 age and the economic saving resulting 

 to the industry in the use of houses 

 properly constructed and managed. 



The results of fruit-handling investi- 

 gations during the past few seasons 

 show that the most important factor 

 in determining the condition of either 

 fruits or vegetables in transit and after 

 arrival on the market is the tempera- 

 ture maintained in refrigerator cars 

 during transportation. All fresh fruit 

 is alive and the life activities continue
