success of the fruit industry to have a 

 cheaper fruit package provided in order 

 that the grower receive a living price for 

 his fruit. And that we recommend having 

 travellers sent out before the fruit begins 

 to move in order to secure the trade for 

 soft fruits. This will, we feel sure, ac- 

 complish much toward the elimination of 

 the broker, and the realizing of more satis- 

 factory prices for the fruit. 



That earnest efforts be made to arrange 

 ■a working basis with our competitors as to 

 selling policy and prices. 



That we have our own offices located at 

 X'ancouver, Calgary, and Regina. 



That we sell our own goods. 



That garden truck a<nd early soft fruits 

 be placed direct with the retail trade by 

 our own salesmen, so far as possible. 



That we sell our main carload crop to 

 the regular wholesale trade on an f.o.b. 

 shipping point basis. 



That no goods unsold be shipped out 

 except to our own salesmen. 



That cheaper packages be used, especi- 

 ally in hajndling "orchard run" or "off" 

 varieties of apples. Baskets will also be 

 used in making experiment shipments of 

 sour cherries, small plums, early apples, 

 and crab apples. 



That our export markets be extended.
