Why Not You? 



You have doubtless admired so-and-so's greenhouse — perhaps envied it. To 

 see the owner cutting a bunch of flowers while you passed, muffled up 

 against the hlizzard, aroused even deeper longing. When you write us 

 regarding prices, you may find you have been denying yourself and your family 

 quite needlessly.

*'An Ounce of Prevention" 



You know the rest. In other words, a 

 little attention given to your apples when 

 packing may save much trouble when the 

 customer gets them. Your customer buys 

 first quality apples and pays a first 

 Muality price. He doesn't want to get his 

 shipment shaken and bruised. Result — 

 probable loss of customer as well as your 

 own prestige. 



A WARNER 

 APPLE BARREL PAD 



placed In each end of the barrel holds the 

 apples firm and absolutely prevents them 

 from bruising when heading in or during 

 shipment. You see the advantage, and 

 ^Varner's pads cost but a few cents each.

Poorly packed shipments mean dissatisfied 

 customers. There are a number of new 

 producers of fruit placing their crop on the 

 market this season, and this word of cau- 

 tion is more particularly to those, while 

 there are others who could also profit by < 

 more care in packing. Some are using for 

 the first time the Lena covered basket ^ 

 shipping by express with the new protector! ■ 

 These shippers should acquaint themselves ' 

 thoroughly with the proper method of put- ] 

 ting up this package. Express officials have J 

 brought to our attention several baskets 

 packed in such a way that even with the 

 best of handlmg the contents would be 

 badly damaged. The fruit should be suffi- 

 ciently heaped and so faced that the leno 

 wlU hold it firmly in place. "Money saved 

 by inadequate packing rarely equals profits 

 lost through dissatisfied customers." 



Fresh Fruits via Freight.— As several in- 

 quiries have been received regarding car- 

 load rates to points Port Arthur and west, 

 the following schedule applying on 20,000 

 lbs. minimum, effective from nearly all On- 

 tario fruit shipping centres, may act as a 

 ready reference:

When a car is delivered without routing 

 instructions, it is the duty of the initial car- 

 rier to send it over the cheapest available 

 route. Where the terminal carrier finds that 

 the way bill is ambiguous as to place of de- 

 livery it should notify the initial carrier and 

 await instructions. 



Will Import U. S. Apples 



That the prairie farmers are still resent- 

 ing the recent increase in the duty on apples 

 and blaming British Columbia fruit grow- 

 ers for having agitated for it is indicated 

 by the following item taken from the Grain 

 Growers' Guide published in Winnipeg: 



"The members of Acme Local, No. 62,1 

 United Farmers of Alberta, have decided not ] 

 to buy B. C. apples on account of the duty 

 that is being charged. Instead will buy 

 apples from fruit growers in the United | 

 States and let the duty charged help pay thej 

 revenue." 



"The centra) office is in touch with grow-l 

 ers in Washington willing to ship direct to S 

 the consumers in Alberta, and will gladly? 

 put you in touch with these people if any* 

 union is intending to buy apples this fall J 

 and would like to secure them from thoj 

 States." • • * 



It is said that the fruit crop in the Yak- 

 ima Valley will total 10,000 carloads this 

 year.
