HAVE DEALER AND BUYER VISIT THE ORCHARD 297 



Have the Dealer and Buyer Visit the Orchard. If you are 

 selling fruit through a store, or even a commission house, get the 

 proprietor and even his head clerk to come out and see the or- 

 chard. Take them out in picking season when there is something 

 worth seeing and worth eating. Show them how the fruit is 

 grown and handled, and if your orchard and methods are worth 

 showing you will get these men interested and they will sell twice 

 as much fruit as they would if they knew only the store end of 

 the business.
