BETTER FRUIT 



November, 1920 



"In Every Respect" 



says the Good Judge 



You get more genuine chew- 

 ing satisfaction from the Real 

 Tobacco Chew than you ever 

 got from the ordinary kind. 



The good tobacco taste 

 lasjts so long — a small chew 

 of this class of tobacco lasts 

 much longer than a big chew 

 of the old kind. That's why 

 it costs less to use. 



Any man who has used both 

 kinds will tell you that. 



Put up in two styles 



W-B GUT is a long fine-cut tobacco 



RIGHT GUT is a short-cut tobacco

Cannery Notes 



Three thousand barrels of Maraschino cher- 

 ries were put up this year from Oregon fruit 

 by the Libby, McNeil & Libby plant in The 

 Dalles, Ore. 



Another big fruit and vegetable cannery, the 

 seventh owned by the A. Rupert Company, 

 has just been completed at McMinnville, Ore., 

 at a cost of $50,000. This gives the concern 

 a capacity of 750,000 cases during the season, 

 an output that means an expenditure of about 

 -?2, 250, 000 for farm and orchard produce. Dur- 

 ing the past eight months $150,000 has been 

 the various Rupert plants. 



That American canned foods are popular 

 in Great Britain is shown by a letter from 

 Edgar A. Foley, Commissioner of the United 

 States Department of Agriculture in London, 

 to E. G. Montgomery, in charge of the Foreign 

 Markets Service. It says in part: 



"American canned fruits have earned an 

 enviable reputation for themselves in Great 

 Britain. In all the grocery and fruit shops one 

 can see the well-known United States brands 

 that have long since become staples in the 

 American household. 



"So wide has been this distribution that in 

 five stores within a radius of two blocks from 

 Cross & Blackwell's factory I counted four 

 stores carrying United States canned foods 

 and pickles. I maintain that it is some ac- 

 complishment to put American pickles and 

 canned goods on sale opposite the Cross <fe 

 Blackwell works. American peaches, pears, 

 apricots and plums have all had a good sale 

 and wide distribution, and to within the last 

 few months have brought top prices. 



"Large stores of canned foods were held 

 here in Great Britain at the end of last sea- 

 son, but as the demand was good, local mer- 

 chants purchased heavy stores for this season 

 at good prices. They forgot to figure on these 

 canteen stores held mostly in France, with 

 the result that when speculators and others 

 bought these canteen stocks and brought them 

 to England there was a large over-supply. It 

 is estimated that the present supply is about 

 3,000,000 cases above the normal supply. 



"The result has, of course, been an enormous 

 drop in all prices, and the bankruptcy of 

 many firms for large amounts. There is now 

 no recognized price for any goods, and any 

 quantities of peaches, pears or apricots can 

 be purchased for 50 per cent of the importing 

 price. 



"An exception to this rule is, however, the 

 Hawaiian pineapple crop. In spite of ad- 

 verse conditions this market remains firm, 

 and the product is in demand. 



"It comes directly in competition with a 

 great deal of colonial pine, but the high quality 

 of the pack gives it a place of its own. We 

 can well be proud of this pack. The cubes are 

 even and the slices are likewise even and well 

 cut. The colonials are far behind in pack. 

 Their idea is to cut the pine in any shape to 

 get it into the can. The result is a very poor 

 pack and a resultant poor price. 



"There is practically no American jam on 

 the market at the present time."
