Distribution of the Famous Northwest Apple 



455 Towns Shipped November 1-24, 1916—550 Towns Shipped November 1-22, 1917 

 95 Towns More over 20 Increase — in 22 Days in November, 1917 



IN the December, 1916, issue of Better 

 Fruit we published a list of towns 

 to which shipments were made in car- 

 loads from the Northwest from Novem- 

 ber 1 to 24, inclusive. The number of 

 towns reported shipped to was 455. In 

 this issue we publish a list of towns re- 

 ceiving Northwestern apples in carlots 

 direct from the Northwest, showing 550 

 towns, which shows the excellent and 

 wonderful results achieved by increas- 

 ing the number of towns receiving 

 Northwestern apples in carlots. The 

 period is for two days less. However, 

 95 more towns have been shipped direct 

 — over 20 per cent increase. However, 

 the list does not show the full amount 

 of increase, for the reason that appar- 

 ently a greater number of carloads have 

 gone to diversion points this year than 

 in previous years. It is hoped and be- 

 lieved that the list of towns shipped 

 will afford the fruit growers and ship- 

 ping concerns some valuable informa- 

 tion. On the 1916 crop 611 towns were 

 reported as shipped direct for approxi- 

 mately two months. Your particular 

 attention is called to the fact that in 

 22 days in 1917, 550 towns have been 

 shipped, which shows a mighty good 

 record and wonderful improvement. 



The Editor of Better Fruit has been 

 preaching wider distribution of the 

 apple crop for many years. A pretty 

 good effort was made last year, and the 

 the increased activity on the part of the 

 shipping concerns, and the splendid re- 

 sults, are already a matter of record. 

 In two months of 1916 611 towns were 

 shipped apples in carlots direct from 

 the Northwest. In 22 days during the 

 month of November 550 towns were 

 shipped direct. In connection with this 

 statement it must be borne in mind that 

 apparently a great many more apples 

 were shipped to- diversion points this 

 year than last. The Editor feels very 

 much gratified over the results, firmly 

 believing that every fruit grower and 

 shipper in the Northwest will feel a 

 great degree of satisfaction over the re- 

 markable improvement in the increased 

 distribution. The list of towns shipped 

 is published elsewhere in this edition 

 and is worthy of consideration, thought 

 and careful study. 



The sales managers of every concern 

 and many fruit growers can study the 

 list with much profit. If the sales man- 

 agers will give the matter still further 

 attention, checking up in I he Produce 

 Reporter or some other directory the 

 list of towns that have been sold and 

 studying those not sold, making a spe- 

 cial effort to connect up with the towns 

 not sold and endeavor to do business 

 in them, the distribution can further be 

 increased this season and undoubtedly 

 will be. 



In conclusion, the Editor wishes to 

 express his gratification over the splen- 

 did results achieved and to convey his 

 thanks to every sales manager of the 

 Xml hwest for the splendid efforts 

 made, and equally important with this
