Well-selected ripe fruit, carefully packed, will bring- lii«ker prices 
than the same fruit carelessly put up. Dealers w'ill tell you that 
their fancy brands are the easiest to sell, even at a higher price, and 
are always closed out first. 
By becoming a member of our Market Company, and availing 
yourself of the benefits ot our market system, yon are relieved of the 
anxiety and annoyances incident to the marketing of your fruit, and 
von are sure of obtaining the highest market price without incurring 
the risks attending .shi]nnents on vour own aceount. 
Our Company obtains the lowest possible freight rates over the 
different railroads. 
It secures prompt service in con.sequence of the magnitude of the 
business (which a private individual could not do). 
It has an agent in every market where your fruits are shipped, 
whose business is to receive each consignment of fruit, to see that it 
is promptly and carefully unloaded. 
If any of the fruit has been injured by the railroad in transit, to. 
collect the damage for the same. 
To watch the market, supplying each whole.sale dealer with what 
fruit he can sell at the market price. 
To establish the price of Diamond Grapes for the day, and to .see 
that every dealer adheres to it. 
To see that weekly statements and remittances are made to our 
shippers. 
To telegraph the home office eaeh day the condition of the mar- 
ket, so that no more fruit may be forwarded than can be sold at a 
paying price. This gives the central office a knowledge of the .state 
of the market throughout the whole country, and enables it to main- 
tain a uniform price. Thus knowing the amount of fruit there is 
to handle, we can place the entire bulk evenly, giving each market 
just the number of baskets needed. 
Under our market system the supervision of dealers is so com- 
plete that if any one of them fails to make full returns at the market 
price, he will no longer be furnished with frnit, and his name will 
be dropped from our list. 
All the goods forwarded and .sold b\- our Market Company in the 
large cities, whether it be grapes, other fruits, potatoes, vegetables,, 
corn or wheat, in fact, any production of your soil, will be .sold un- 
der the direct supervision of this company or its agents, and. will.
