Get the very Best. In nothing does this injunction 
better apply than in the selection of a basket for marketing 
small fruits. It is an undeniable fact that no article yet 
offered for this purpose conies so near perfection as THE 
BEECHEii VB\EEK FRUIT BASKET. These 
baskets are not only cheap, but combine greater strength, 
beaut v, durability, and capability for ventilation than any 
other "known style, hence for use and convenience are by 
far the most economical made. Full measure guaranteed.— 
no ''short quarts" when the Beecher Banket is used. "We 
have the voluntary testimony of many of the largest grow- 
ers and commission fruit-dealers sustaining our claims for 
these baskets. In short, they are the basket,— try them and 
prove the correctness of above statements. Light, neat, 
and strong, crates of various sizes to accompany baskets, 
on hand, and made to order.
