E. C. Brown Co. 



862 Mapk St., RocheBter^N.Y, 



hands large enough to consume more ten- 

 der fruits than Ontario Is producing to-day, 

 and the reason for this has been the extra- 

 ordinary prices we have received In Oa- 

 tario and Quebec in the good old daya. 



The Ontario peach Is not largely used In 

 the Prairie Provinces owing to the heavy 

 purchases of Washington Elbertas by the 

 wholesale trade early in the season. The 

 trade prefers to purchase Washington El- 

 bertas over Ontario because of their earlier 

 .season, their dependable packing, and 

 formerly because of their lower cost. Be- 

 caus>e of the past failures in shipping it Is 

 now diflScult to make f.o.b. sales of Ontario 

 peaches to the western trade, and it Is 

 going to be very difficult to capture even a 

 small part of the peach trade from the 

 United States. 



The only way that we can interest the 

 western trade is to show them that they 

 can secure a better article for less money 

 in Ontario than in the state of Washing- 

 ton. By precooling, proper packing and 

 good salesmanship, this can be done. 



In the past the Ontario shipper has de- 

 manded high prices in the west to meet the 

 risk of long distance shipments. In the 

 future he will have to wipe out this risk by 

 pre-cooling, and thus sell at a price that 

 Hvill come under the lowest price his com- 

 petitor can make. At normal times the 

 minimum that Wenatchee or Yakima 

 peaches can be laid down in Winnipeg or 

 Brandon is 75c per box. Deducting freight, 

 icing and pre^cooling charges, and we have 

 58c at the Ontario shipping point. Deduct 

 packing and selling charges and 37c is left 

 to the grower for 20 pounds of peaches. In 

 order to compete with the Washington 

 grower the Ontario grower must grow his 

 peaches for l%c per pound. 



By eliminating the risks of long distance 

 shipments through pre-cooling, and lower- 

 ing the eost of the fruit to the consumer, a 

 large increase in consumption will result. 

 One shipment of pre-cooled cherries was 

 sold in Winnipeg by the T. Eaton Co. for 

 50c per 6-qt. basket. So eager were the 

 Winnipeg housekeepers to secure fancy 

 cherries at so reasonable a price that the 

 entire carload of 2,333 baskets were sold 

 in 30 minutes^ 



One shipper has made the statement that 

 by systematic salesmanship and by making 

 Jire-cooled shipments; the entire Ontario 

 cherry and plum crops could he marketed 

 in the Prairie Provinces with greater net 

 returns than are now being received with 

 the added markets of Ontario, Quebec and 

 the Maritime Provinces. 



In 1901 the population of the three pro- 

 vinces to the west was 419,512. In 1911 

 this had increased to 1,322,709. Is it not 

 safe to say that by 1921, only five years 

 hence, this population will reach 2,500,000? 

 By that time are our importations of ten- 

 der fruits from the United States going to 

 increas« from 1,767 cars to 2,500 cars, or 

 are the growers of Canada going to extend 

 their markets to absorb the increased de- 

 mand for fruit? By pre-cooling we can 

 deliver the goods to these remote markets, 

 and it only remains for the growers to de- 

 cide how much of the trade they wish to 

 supply, or how much they wish to give to 

 the United States.
