I The Ideal Fruit Grader j 



SIMPLICITY, ECONOMY AND EFFICIENCY 

 ABSOLUTELY NO BRUISING 



Two men, one an experienced machinest, the other an experienced cabinet maker, with many \ 



years' practical experience in the fruit industry in Hood River, combined their mechanical skill and | 



I practical knowledge of fruit handling in perfecting a grading machine— a model of simplicity, | 

 economy and efficiency. 



There is no machinery— Nothing to get out of order or be fixed connected with the Ideal Fruit 1 



| Grader. It is practically all wood. I 



The operation is simple, consisting of a belt for a conveyor, operated by electricity or gasoline | 

 engine, and short elastic belts, which move each apple in the proper bin from the belt conveyor. 



The Ideal Fruit Grader divides the crop into Extra Fancy, Fancy and C-grade, all at one time. The | 



| Extra Fancy being divided into seven bins on one side, the Fancy into seven bins on the other side { 

 | and the C-grade going into six bins at the end of the grader. 



Built for four sorters, the grader is 28 feet long and 9 feet wide built for eight sorters, 32 feet long. | 



In 1916 we packed 9,000 boxes with the Ideal Fruit Grader with two packers without the machine ever stopping once 

 for repairs of any kind. Further detailed information, illustrated circulars and prices will be furnished upon request.
