Berry Crates and Baskets 
We tell the Standard 32-quart crate, made in 
Delaware. We have tried all sizes and makes of 
Derry crates and and the 32-quart crate, when well 
made, is the strongest, handiest and most desirable 
berry crate that can be made It does not pay to 
use a slimpsy berry crate; for, in getttlng the fruit 
to market. If the crate does not stand up well, you 
will Injure the fruit much more by shipping it in a 
crate that does not stand up Arm and lose more 
money on your fruit than you will gain by buying 
a cheaper package There are all manner of slimspy 
crates and packages foistered upon berry growers, 
but let me tell you. they lose more by trying to 
save on packages than they realize If It pays to 
ship fruit at all, it pays to send it in firm and sub¬ 
stantial crates and baskets. It does not take much 
to crush and spoil it In a shaky crate or slimpsy 
basket. Then too, the fruit shows up better and 
naturally sells for more In a nice neat looking crate 
or basket. The crates we sell are the best made 
of the 32-qaart size that we have ever seen, made 
of good wood, strong and durable, considering the 
price. It does not now pay to go to too much ex¬ 
pense In building returnable crates, it costa too 
much and a large proportion of them are never re¬ 
turned and. if returned, are generally injured or 
broken. The day of the returnable crate is past. 
The 36-quart crate is an odd size and the 60-quart 
crate is too large and heavy to handle by one man. 
•o we have discontinued using both these sizes, us¬ 
ing only the bushel or 32-quart size. Price of new 
t2-quart crates, with three separators, or partition® 
and 32 best made baskets, $1.26 each, 10 or more 
At a time. $1.00 each. We can pack 100 extra 
baskets in each crate if wanted. Second hand

separators to go with them, without baskets, new

Pint and Quart Baskets 
These baskets are made from the best part of tb» 
lug, the heart being rejected, are clean, w'hlte and 
pretty in appearance. They go a long way in get 
ling the best prices for the fruit sold In them. They 
are well made, strong and durable. It is by far tba 
most substantial, strongest and best berry basket I 
have ever seen or handled, and no berry' growler of 
any sense, who has ever used them, if be can get 
them again, will use any other make. They of 
course, cost a little more than other baskets, bui 
pay for extra cost sev- 
»ral times. Not only 
are the baskets well 
made, but they are 
put up in a strong 
substantial crate 
which will stand ship¬ 
ping without going to 
pieces and spilling 
out the baskets. There 
are 1,000 put up in 
each crate. If we 
ship 600 baskets, we have to rebuild the crate ano 
so an extra charge Is made for 600 lots, when w» 
have to ship them. If baskets are ordered with 
berry crates, we can pack small lots of 100 or s<- 
In the crates, but when small lots of 100 or mor* 
are ordered alone, we have to make shipping crates 
for them and so charge an extra price. Price of 
baskets, “Arrow” or “Plum Parmer” Brand, quart 
or pint baskets, $1.26 per 100, $10 per 1000. Orders 
for baskets in less lots than 1,000, please add 26< 
for crating, If you do not order berry crates to go 
with them. 
NOTE—Nothing in our line ha® Increased mor* 
In price since the war began than berry basket® 
Of course, we have to buy these in carload lots 
of the manufacturers, and on account of the high 
cost and scarcity of labor, they charge us over 
double what we had to pay a few years ago. Ws 
sold baskets at retail last year for leas than w^ 
could buy them in car lots. People might just as 
well get used to the fact that baskets are going 
to cost them around $16.00 per 1000 in the near 
future as the supply of mateiial is getting ex¬ 
hausted and paper and other substitutes do not seem 
to work out satisfactorily.—L. J. Farmer.
