14 apples to the tier; apples about
the size of a lemon, and every box
was put up In the same way. The
grocer told the apple grower In words
not to be misunderstood, that If he
did not hereafter grade his fruit that
he would not buy any more fruit of
him; that to grade the apples, putting
tier apples In boxes to themselves, and
the 14-tier apples to themselves, and
then he would gladly buy; that peo
ple did not want to pay a good price
for a box of apples that contains but
one tier of the kind they thought
they were buying; but would be will
ing to buy a box of the small apples
If the box was graded with all the
same size. The grocer said he want
ed to be able to guarantee a box of,
apples to be the same all the way
throught, or money would be refund
ed If they were not as he said. .
If the grocers and all others that
handle apples and other fruits would
do as this grocer has decided to do,
and refuse to buy ungraded fruit, then
this place would gain a better reputa
tion as a fruit center. The DalleB
Bnnlness Mens' association, ought 'to
take this matter up with fruitgrowers.
Last season strawberries here wore
not graded.'' Every housewife knows i
this. Each box contained culls and
dirty, sandy berries, many of them
moulded, and then topped with big
beautiful berries. Now, when people
pay 25 cents a box for strawberries
they are paying this because they
think they are buying a box filled
with big fine berries. The man who
sells fruit ungraded fo ra high price
Is getting money under false pre:
tenses and ought to be made an ex
ample of for the protection of the
people who do the buying. The Dalles
