926 THE FRUIT INDUSTRY IN XEW YORK STATE 



look over all the fruit in the market, select the sizes and grades 

 wanted, and buy them if they are willing to pay the price. 



Fair play is asked because a square deal is given. If only an 

 occasional car of fruit that is far from its prime is offered at 

 public sale, it will have a bad effect on the mind of the buyer 

 and is not a fair test of auction methods. 



The public sale, as was stated in the beginning, has been in 

 successful use in Europe for one hundred years, and for fifty 

 years in the United States. It is coming into use more and more ; 

 eventually every shipper will use it. The progressive man is 

 he who grasps a good opportunity promptly. To wait is to lose 

 a business opportunity worth using.
