Crates and Baskets 
OUR EXCELSIOR CRATE, which has proved such a great success in past years, 
has been improved in many ways, yet we have still maintained the same low rate. It is 
the best crate ever put on the market for growers, as it is roomy and still a neat package. 
Fruit-growers know the advantage of placing their berries in good packages — 
something that will allow them to fill the baskets 
well, so that when they are offered on the market, the 
baskets are still full, and the berries are not mashed. 
This is the great objection to most crates, as the 
racks are so light that they will not allow the baskets 
to be filled unless by mashing the top fruit, and 
when placed on the market, the bruised ones will not 
bring the top price. 
The crates hold 32 baskets, or one bushel. 
They are slatted up the sides, with solid ends, and 
have hand-holds, so that they are easily managed. In 
fact, they are the most complete crates on the market. 
They are made of the best wood, well dried 
before being nailed together. 
PRICE, WITHOUT BASKETS: 35 cents each; per 20,30 cents each. 
PRICE, FILLED WITH BASKETS: *5 cents each; per 20, 40 cents each. 
Acme Gift Crate 
We have had many calls for a Gift Crate, so we have gotten up one for our trade. 
It is made strong and of the best wood, being slatted on sides and ends, and will last 
for a number of seasons for nearby markets, but it is especially useful to shippers 
who do not wish crates returned, as it is cheap, and will place the fruit in good con- 
dition on distant markets. 
These crates hold one bushel, so do not confuse 
them in price with the western gift crate, that holds 
but 1 6 quarts, and has not a lid. This crate is in every 
way the best, and when the fruit is to be shown, the 
lid can be raised without the drawing of nails. 
PRICE, without baskets, 22 cts. each, SI8 per 100. 
PRICE, filled with baskets, 30 cts. each, S25 per loo. 
Baskets and Crates 
Our baskets are made of good, dry poplar, and 
are the best on the market. They can be shipped in bales of 500, or when crates are 
being ordered, 100 can be nested to each crate. They are made on a form that will 
close the corners, so that the smallest berry cannot drop. In fact, they are in every 
way first-class. 
All crates and baskets are loaded free on cars at this place. 
PRICE: 50 cents per 100, $4 per 1 , 000 , and $3.50 per 1,000 In 5,000 lots. 
CRAPE BASKETS, 9 lbs., $3 per 100, $25 per 1,000. 
PEACH CRATES, 3 pks., 15 cts. each In flat; nailed up, 17 cts. each. 
PEACH BASKETS, half bushel, with cover, 60 cts. per dozen ; without cover, 55 cts. per dozen.
