Mecrisi, vice president uud general umuager o f the com pany. The com pany is also arranging lor the construction o f 300 5o foot refrigerator cars «»quipped for ]>u»«-nger tram nervice.

The 5000 stuudard refrigera tor car* are iu uddition to the 3300 new cars being built by the com pany. There :*r« 1000 cars yet to be delivered on he 5300 order, and these, with the new lot o f 5UOU to be built, will give the Ptt cific Fruit Express company 0000 new standard refrigerator cars fo r 1923 business. O fficia ls o f the Southern P a cific com^iauy, which owns a hail interest in the P a cific Fruit Express, point out that the large increase in the latter company s equipment shoulc. counteract u repetition o f the conditions which caused a car shortage this year. The mam reason for the re fn g e ra io r car shortage this year was the d ifficu lty in getting cars back from the east to j Southern P a cific rails, the coal and railroad strik«*s having slow ed up tin j normal movement o f em pties to tin- west. The peak demand fo r ref rig« ru lor car» usually varies in d ifferen t set tious o f the country but this y«*ar ev «•rj s«-ction had a peak load at the same time, which made the situation still more d ifficu lt to handle. The new car» will give the P acific Fruit Express a total o f bet w een 2.*».
