MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION OF WESTERN MUSKMELONS. 21 
have been using steady supplies in the past years may be developed 
to consume larger quantities. That consumption does not depend 
entirely upon the size of the city is demonstrated by the fact that in 
1915 Pittsburgh consumed 184 more cars of melons at as good average 
prices as Philadelphia, a city more than twice its size. A possible 
reason for this is the fact that for many years several of the most 
important muskmelon distributors in the United States have had 
their headquarters in Pittsburgh, and melons have been pushed 
vigorously on the market.
