IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE FRUIT GROWER i'XTu 



a Fruit Packing House, a Warehouse, a Cooling or Cold Storage Plant, or a Home 



Buildings for the Handling or Storage of Pruit should be designed to afford the greatest 

 possible protection against extremes of weather — hot or cold. Packing Houses should be 

 constructed so as to maintain a uniformly cool temperature in Summer and Pall because 

 the fruit as it comes from the orchard contains a great deal of heat. This heat should be 

 reduced to the minimum before the fruit is packed to insure its reaching the consumer in 

 the best possible condition. The lower the temperature of fruit when packed, the better 

 it will stand up under refrigeration and the longer it will keep in and after cold storage. 



To Obtain the Above Results Use Insulation 



and apply it according to the specifications of our specialists who have had fourteen years' 

 experience with these problems. They will recommend the use of LITH, LINOFELT or 

 FIBROFBLT, whichever is best adapted for yoiu- requirements, and will send you plans of 

 construction. Oiu" insulation is used in lining the largest cold storage i)lants and by the leading 

 refrigerator transit railroads. Nearer home we have furnished plans and insulation to C^ A. 

 Congdon and the Fruit Growers' Warehouse Company, both of North Yakima, Washington. 

 Tell us what you want to accomplish and we will show you how it can be done.
