Handling of Fresh Fruit 



By Peter M. Behr, Trade Manager Steinhardt it 

 Kelly, New York 



ONLY a short time ago tralllc ik'iiart- 

 nu'iits in connection with conmier- 

 cial inteie.sis were practically unknown 

 and both .shippers and receivers were 

 at the mercy of the carriers, until the 

 "Act to Regulate Commerce" was en- 

 forced. Circumstances, conditions, de- 

 velopments and experiences, which 

 have often been placed on the shoul- 

 ders of the public, at a great financial 

 loss, have satisfied the individual mer- 

 chant as well as the directors of our 

 numerous manufacturing concerns and 

 corporations that the services of a 

 trafhc manager were imperative in 

 handling the trallic of the particular 

 industry in which they were interested. 

 ,\s a result we lind today that all up-to- 

 date and progressive firms have ac- 

 ([uired the services of competent men, 

 who by their experience are in position 

 to shoulder all responsibilitx i)ertaining 

 to the transportation of their respective 

 commodities, from point of origin to 

 destination, with the utmost dispatch. 

 It is also the duty of these men to keep 

 accurate records of the actual condi- 

 tion of shipments on ariival, to place 

 them in i)Osition to substantiate any 

 claims which might be necessary to file 

 account of loss, damage or delay, this 

 being essential under the rulings of the 

 Interstate Commerce (^miniission, and 

 in the absence of which no carrier is 

 permitted to make an ad,justnient with- 

 out making themselves as well as 

 claimants liable to severe punishment, 

 as specified in the act. The necessity 

 of a trallic department for the ijro- 

 ducers, distributors and receivers of 

 fresh fruits and other perishable com- 

 modities is so pronounced as to need 

 no comment. 



Once again the Northwest has de- 

 fended its reputation to be far in ad- 

 vance of the East, when the individual 

 producers of the well-known varieties 

 of Western fruits combined into or- 

 ganizations, realizing that only through 

 such concerted and co-operative action 

 could they obtain the very best results 

 and have their products attain the 

 height of perfection, by carefully 

 studied conditions of their cro])S and 

 consistent and carefully iilanned mar- 

 keting systems employed by the various 

 associations. In this their success has 

 been wonderful, as at the present time 

 you can travel almost any part of the 

 civilized world, land or sea, and at your 

 Ijleasure have the i)roducts of our 

 Noil h western friends brought before 

 you to enjoy to your heart's content. 

 The producers, through the associa- 

 tions, make known their desires to 

 prosjiective buyers, and after sales have 

 been made the associations take full 

 control of the products until they have 

 obtained a bill lading contract from 

 the carriers to deliver a certain car at 

 a certain point, under certain condi- 

 tions, all of which are covered by 

 tarilTs on file and approved by the In- 

 terstate Commerce Commission.

 sary instructions are furnished the
