ALBERT GR^ENICHER, Jasper, Tennessee: Am 
perfectly satisfied with your cheap baskets, &e. 
C. P. LAWRENCE, E. Pepperrell, Mass.: Your 
crates and baskets proved entirely satisfactory. 
Have compared with six other kinds and consider 
yours the best. Cannot see how any reasonable man 
can find fault with them. 
B F. JOSLYN, May's Landing, N. J.: Crates and 
baskets all right, and must say I don’t see how they 
can ba improved, 
WM. GOODENOW, Muncy, Pa.: Parties whom I 
ship to, write to me that I had the neatest and best 
looking packages of any they had, I advise the 
painting of your crates. You will receive my future 
orders. 
From AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST: Everyone 
who sends fruit to market .should understand that it 
is sold by its appearance. It is not the name of the 
variety or its haver that sells it, but it must look 
tempting to the buyer. He must consider his pack¬ 
ages. The crate made by N. I>. Patterson has met 
with much acceptance* by growers, as combining 
strength (it being well secured at the. corners) with 
lightness and proper ventilation. 
PARSONS & SCOY1LLE, wholesale dealers, 
Evansville, Ind.: Having handled your crates and 
baskets with much satisfaction, we snail look to you 
for our supply next spring. For cheapness and du¬ 
rability they are unexcelled. 
M BRAYTON. Utica. N. Y.: Berries retail quicker 
and better from your crates and baskets than any 
other I have ever used. 
From OHIO FARMER: Batterson’s Crates and 
Baskets are the invention of a Commission Merchant, 
who. by his experience, ascertained just wliat was 
needed, and then went to work and produced it. 
These Crates and B iskets are light, durable, neat, 
and secure free circulation of air, and other con¬ 
ditions essential to safety and preservation during 
transit. 
From RURAL NEW YORKER: N. D. Batterson 
is an enterprising and trustworthy manufacturer. 
He makes Berry Crates and Baskets that commend 
themselves to all practical fruit shippers, as evinced 
by their almost universal use. 
From WESTERN RURAL: All profits on berries 
are often lost by using poor packages. Batterson’s 
Orate has come largely into use, the best evidence of 
its utility. 
From INDIANA FARMER: From the testimonials 
of prominent fruit growers who have used them, 
there would seem nothing better or cheaper in the 
market.
