For the Cream of the Day 



Two A. M.— inky dark 

 — that's when Big Ben 

 starts the milkman's day. 



Out of bed like a boy going 

 fisliing- — nudges Big Ben to a 

 husli — takes up the tune as he 

 wliistles to work. 



You've heard that jjatter of nimble 

 feet — the clink of bottles in the wire tray — ■ 

 the rattle of boxes, of cans and ice — the 

 giddap — the wheels — the merry tune — all 

 unminjfulof the world at sleep. You've 

 wondered. 



Try Big Ben yo«rj^//a little earlier. See 

 how he'll bring you the cream of the day — 

 rich morning hours that start you right 

 and stretch out till night with minutes 

 aplenty for every task. And yow'/Ztake 

 up his tune and smile through the day. 



Big Ben is six times factory tested. At 

 your dealer's, $2.50 in the States, $3.00 

 in Canada. Sent prepaid on receipt of 

 price if your dealer doesn't stock him, 



Westdox folk build more than three 

 million alarms a year — and build them 

 well. All wheels areassembled by a special 

 process — patented, of course. Result — 

 accuracy, less fr-'tion, long life.

The "Economy" Crate 



Last year the "Economy Crate" was used 

 for the first time by Ontario apple shippers. 

 It proved a considerable factor in the trade 

 with Western Canada. This year it is likely 

 to be used even more extensively. 



Letters received recently by The Cana- 

 dian Horticulturist from fruit commission 

 houses in Western Canada show that there 

 is a considerable difference of opinion 

 among Western dealers In regard to the 

 merits of this crate. The following letters 

 speak for themselves: 



Rogers Fruit Co., Ltd., Winnipeg: "We 

 are not at all in favor of the 'economy 

 apple crate,' as the shippers put in too many 

 culls in this style of a package. Last fall I 

 had considerable experience with thii pack- 

 age, and it was not in my opinion a success. 

 1'hfc package would be ell right for early 

 fall s'.uB if the growers and packers v;ere 

 particular about what they put into the 

 paoljage. Perso»iallv, I am in favor of ihc 

 standardization of all fruit packages used in 

 Canada. I mucr\ prefer the box pack to .in.'-' 

 other style. It it the coming package for 

 apples. — J. E. MacLean, Manager." 



Laing Bros., Winnipeg: "We are not in 

 favor of the Economy Apple Crate for ship- 

 ping apples, as it is a very poor looking 

 package, and apples put up in an open 

 crate will dry out and get bruised between 

 the slats. We believe the only proper way 

 to pack apples is to have them put up in 

 regular apple boxes wrapped in paper, or 

 in barrels. They will keep much longer in 

 a box or a barrel than in a crate. The only 

 use we would have for an Economy Crate 

 would be for putting up a cheap grade of 

 apples, which would have to be .«old 

 quickly; the crate being cheaper tban the 

 ordinary apple box or apple barrel. We 

 would not encourage the use of crates for 

 shipping apples." 



The Scott Fruit Co., Winnipeg: "We 

 handled a few cars of Economy Crates of 

 apples from British Columbia last season, 

 which turned out fairly well. Apples do not 

 keep as well in this crate as in the regular 

 apple crate. But for quick sale of the fall 

 apples they seem to be all right. Person- 

 ally, we do not think that any apples lower 

 than two grade should be packed at all. We 

 would not handle them under any con- 

 sideration. — D. S. Manson, Mgr."
