KET is so widely known that 
description here is unnecessary. 
The circular form, tapering sides, 
thorough ventilation, strength, 
and durability of this basket, in 
connection with the fact that it 
SS bokls honest measure, lias ob- 
W tained for it an almost unlimited 
demand. Orders the present sea¬ 
son for hundreds of thousands of these baskets remained 
unfilled longer than was desirable, because not received un¬ 
til after our surplus of manufactured stock had been taken. 
For the coming year, if Fruit Growers, Agents, and Dealers, 
will forward their orders early, we guarantee them full and 
prompt delivery of both Baskets and Crates. 
For information as to value and superiority of the Beecher 
Basket, we refer with confidence to as many of the commis¬ 
sion dealers in our markets as have handled fruit In them.
