A HIST TO GIUXDE ItONDE
, FRUIT MEN.
It Is the rotten'apple In the bo,
the painted knothole In the board,
the musty streak In the butter, or ;
bacon which will decide the price
oil the second package of food you ,
try to sell to a private customer.
Most people will forget to praise
the good specimens if they think
you are trying. to deceive them
with a cull. Moot of us have heard
of the Ane packing of the Pacific
Coast fruit. Are there no cuUa in
thee packages? Interested In the
matter, we wrote the firm of Stein
hardt & Kelley, who for some
years hape handled apples from
the farmers of the Hood River
region. Their answer follows, and
It Is worth the attention of any -'

do we accept them without close inves
tigation but we accept them without
any inviaBtlgation whatever, leaving the
entire matter up to the Hood River Ap-

l( .Our contract with the Hood River
I Apple Growers' Union, as represented

In condition to make a single com

perfect as human Ingenuity antl hon
esty of endeavor can make it; a fact,
we shall be glad to have you drop In
'out 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 jpackage. This Is piQre than we
have been able to say for any large
pack of fruit that we have ever con
tracted for. : " , . . .

tion. The very best fruit from the
Hood river country is purchased by
us on f, 0. b. basis. Hood River, and
although of course the prices are not
exactly public property, still we may
tell you that they average , around
12.25 abox there. Of course you un

such, a body begins to do things that
they frequently ball npthe state and

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 (package -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 caa get enough,
as we stated before, honest men who
will pack honestly. The whol$ 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 that there
are usually " three or four good tiers
on top and, the rest is a lot of Infer
ior goods. This la 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
yeart until the barrel apple will be
practically, out of use for the better
class of trade, owing to no other rea
son than dishonest methods employed
In packing. -, ,.' -''--:t 'X
"The entire matter is simply one
of honesty and quality. Fruit can be
had just as good in the East ; as In
the Weisf., and we see no reason why
the Eastern grower can't get Just as
much for his 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 putUng up a fake
barrel of apples he Is making a big
mistake. ' .' .. ;. .
"STEINHART & KELLY.
The same thing1 can be done In the
Grande Rondo' fruit district that is
done at Hood River. Why cannot
fruit growers here get together and
have an understanding.
