BETTER FRUIT

They should always be used in packing 

 baskets where an attempt is being made 

 to put up a high class pack that is of g&id 

 quality and appearance. 



THE proper fastening of the cover can- 

 not be too strongly emphasized. The 

 failure to properly fasten the cover will 

 resell in the cover coming off and the 

 contents being spilled. 



To properly fasten the cover for carlof 

 shipments by freight the wire handles 

 should be bent inward and down on the 

 hand slat of the cover. It is not safe to 

 ship in carlots and expect good results un- 

 less the covers are so fixed by the handles 

 being bent down. For express and L. C. L. 

 shipments the wire handles should be bent 

 down and inward as in making carlot freight 

 shipments and in addition side hooks should 

 be used as shown in Figure 2. The wire 

 hooks should be driven under the top out- 

 side hoop and bent down over the top of 

 the cover hoop with pliers. 



There are three general styles of cov- 

 ers in use, namely: the Standard, The 

 Hoop and the Star Hoop Cover. Of these 

 three stvles the Standard cover has proven 

 to be the poorest and should never be used 

 with fruits. Experience has shown that 

 the Standard cover is best suited for spin- 

 ach, kale and other leaf vegetables. 



The Hoop cover is not as well liked 

 for fruit shipments as the star hoop cover, 

 due ot the fact that the construction of this 

 cover does not give the strength or protec- 

 tion that is needed for some fruits. It is 

 a good cover and widely used, but for ship- 

 ments that receive many handlings and 

 that travel long distances the Star Hoop 

 Cover is to be preferred. The Star Hoop 

 Cover is very strong and offers maximum 

 protection to the contents and greatest 

 strength where it is most required, that is 

 in the center, and is much preferred to any 

 other style of cover for the shipment of 

 heavy fruit in baskets. 



Work in the plants owned by the Graves Can- 

 ning Company with he^idquarters at Brownsville 

 was recently resumed after a short shutdown. 

 The plants of the company which are located at 

 Woodburn, Sherwood and Sheridan, are now all 

 in operation.
