BETTER FRUIT 



Page 1} 



If You Have Fresh Fruit to Pack 



You Will Save Money by Reading this Announcement 

 which Tells of A Revolutionary Method of Packing Fruit 



The Sykes System of Packing Fresh Fruit Saves Money and Labor. 



It Keeps the Fruit Perfectly. Permits Thorough Inspection and 



Allows a Good Display of the Fruit While in the Box. 



SAVES LABOR 



Experienced fruit packers 

 with the individual wrap sys- 

 tem are not made iu a day, and 

 there are not enough experi- 

 enced packers, no matter how 

 high the wage. With the Sykes 

 wrap, children with but a short 

 period of instruction can be- 

 come rapid and efficient pack- 

 ers of fruit, and with this sys- 

 tem fruit can be packed with 

 l)oth hands. 



SAVES MONEY 



In addition to the saving iu labor 

 cost, the Sykes pack paper costs you 

 less than hand wraps. The saving in 

 paper alone is about one and a half to 

 two cents a box, or about $10 a car. 



SAVES TIME 



Fruit can be packed more 

 rapidly under this system than 

 under any other method where 

 wrap is used. An experienced 

 packer will greatly increase 

 his output after a few days' 

 packing. Experience has 

 proved that 'i.'i per cent less 

 help than you now employ will 

 turn out as much work. 



KEEPS FRUIT BETTER 



Our reports from shipments made in ]919 show that fruit arrives in as good or 

 better condition than when hand wrapped. The Sykes pack, owing to its construc- 

 tion, while it protects the fruit from friction rubs and bruises, still allows perfect 

 ventilation of the fruit. The fruit ripens uniformly, ripens a better color, has better 

 Havor, and does not shrink as much. It has proved that the fruit carries as well, 

 arrives in as good condition and keeps in storage as well as the wrapped fruit. 



Fruit Packed the Sykes Way brings as good prices as when each 

 piece of fruit is wrapped separately, in the old slow, expensive way 



Fruit Packed the Sykes Way Costs Little More than Packing Without Wraps

Proved Satisfactory by Shippers in 1919 



Shipments of fruit in the Sykes Pack in auction cars brought top prices. The side of the box, 

 when opened, makes a display so that the buyer at a glance can sf-e the condition of the fruit.
