It is worth the attention of any
'First you would like to know if
the packing of the Hopd River apples
Is so perfect that' we accept-them
Without Clou lnwal)lnn V
do we accept them without close Inves
tigation but we accept them wltLout
any investigation whatever, leavine the
entire matter up to the Hood River Ad.
I pie1 Growero. Union, a body of men
wnoee ipersonal supervision of all the
fruit is packed and shipped to market.
Our dealings with these men for the
last three years, during which time we
have purchased their crop, have al
ways teen of such a straight and up
right character that we have never
had occasion' or cause to doubt their
packinjg, and we have never been dls
appointed in our business dealings
i with them.
V Our contract with the Hood River
Apple Growers' Unlon, as represented
by . their board of directors, is cer
tainly a very stringent one, they uar
I'anteelng us a re'rfect naick and Un
guaranteeing that every apple In eT-
: ery box to absolutely perfect "Wie have
nanaieq several hundred thousand box
es and never have we found ourselves
in condition to make a single com
plaint against their pack. It Is as near
perfect as human ingenuity and hon
esty of endeavor can inake It; a fact,
we shall be glad to have you dron in
( our place of business at any time
and take a box of fruit from any heap,
and you will find that every box Is
practically identical, and that every
apple Is absolutely perfect, whether
you open the top, bottom or side of
any ipackage. This Is more than we
have been able to say for any large
pack of fruit that we have ever con
tracted for.
' "Referring to your second . ques
tion. The very best Jruit from the
Hood ' river country is purchased by
us on f. o. b. basis. Hood River, and
although of course the prices are not
exactly public property, still we .may
tell you that they average around
$2.25 a box there. Of course you un
derstand that a box of fruit will cost
ub a great deal more, as the freight
from Hood River to New York is on
an average of 60 cents a box.' Re
were possible ' for a number of la
wlth the association to do business
dividual who are not conn (Wort with
this association to do business on the
same plan as that of the assocatton,
suffice it to say that if you can get
a number of honest men who are al
so good business men together, they
could do Just as well as the Hood
River Apple Growers Union.
; "Regarding your endeavor . to en
courage Eastern fruitgrowers, to put
up a ipackage as good as that of the
West suffice it to say that this could
be done Just as well In the East as
In the west If you can get enough,
as we stated before, honest men who
will pack honestly. The whole thing
In a. nutshell Is simply and purely a
business proposition. You no doubt
know that the Eastern barrel pack,to
say . the least, leaves a great deal
to be desired. You' know thatnhere
ate usually three or four good tiers
on top and the rest is a lot of Infer
ior goods- This to the reason why
the public is now turning toward the
box apples to take the place of the
barrel and it' is the writer's personal
opinion that it will only be a few
years until the barrel apple will be
practically out of use for the better j
class of trade, owing to no other rea
son than dishonest methods employed
in packing. , . ':.' .' ;
"The entire matter , to simply one
of honesty and quality, Fruit can be
had Just as good In the East as in
the West, and we see no reason why
the Eastern grower can't get Just as
much for hla goods as the Western
grower, if he will only make, up his
mind to one absolute fact, and that
Is he has got to be honest, and that
If he thinks he can fool the people
all the time by putting up a fake
barrel of apples he Is making a big
mistake. '.

The same thing- can be done in the
Grande Ronde fruit district that Is
done at Hood River. Why cannot
fruit growepe here get together and
have au understanding. '
