 Panama Canal. For other fruits that will stand from 

 20 to 30 days or more before using, the canal can easily 

 be made use of. From the Pacific Coast via the canal to 

 New York and Boston, will require probably a minimum

 overland shipments.. 



"Where the fruit grower is fortunate enough to have a 

 good local market, he has great advantage over distant 

 shippers. Where roads are good and the haul is not 

 over 20 or 30 miles, motor trucks can be used. In many 

 places in the East these are now strong competitors of 

 the transportation companies. Where the business is 

 sufficient to warrant the first expense of a motor truck 

 a considerable saving in time and money can be had 

 over the use of railroads.
