Medford National Bank Open Letter to Pear Growers on Distribution A-merican Fruit Growers, being international in scope, has access to mar kets all over the world in some are salaried managers, in others are brokers, agents or representatives. In addition to this, there is close con tact with large cash buyers and other fruit brokers who look to A.F.G. to fill their seasonal needs. Our policy in selling fruit for our growers is strictly one of orderly mar keting. This means that we carefully and wisely sell cur fruit on firm deals at shipping point throughout the entire selling period. We do not consign, nor do we recommend that growers play the eastern auctions too strongly in any one season. By keeping to this conservative plan, we eliminate the chance of gambling with fruit entrusted to us and the risk of sometimes selling out too early at too low prices. For this reason, we feel that our net averages at the end of the season are as near the true market value as it is possible for a grower to get. We always aim to reach as many different markets as we can for our fruits, so we are not forced to depend on just a few. Where Your Fruit Goes . In the United States, for instance, we shipped 1934 CROP MEDFORD BLUE GOOSE FRUIT TO 42 STATES AND TO 216 CITIES, large and small,' from coast to coast and from Canada to the Gulf. Our Foreign Markets for Medford Blue Goose fruit were all over the globe: . France England Holland Paris Liverpool Rotterdam Marseilles London Hook Le Havre Glasgow Pnlostino Panama ' Southampton iS" . Panama City Canada Jaffa Cristobal Vancouver, b. c. Hawaiian Islands Colon Victoria, B. C. no' Puerto Armuells Toronto, Ont. Honolulu Isle Of Java .Montreal, Que. . Cufa Batavia Norway Havana Sourabaya Bergen Isle of Sumatra Guatemalu Costa Rica Belowan San Jose Pttntarenas Paalambang People in these distant places know from experience that pend on the condition and quality of Blue Goose products astic buyers overseas are willing to pay a good stiff price Goose Pears, particularly D'Anjous.

Manila China Hong Kong Kowloon French Indo China Saigon they can de- , and enthusi- to get Blue Blue Goose Fruit Sails the Seven Seas If you shipped with Blue Goose this past year, perhaps some of your Pears went to Mediterranean markets Egypt, Palestine, Alexandria and Syria where they found their way to French and English army posts, probably after several days' journey by camel back. Perhaps your fruit went to Hong Kong, Singapore, Kowloon, where there is no refrigeration, and where a swarthy dockhand set it on a blistering wharf in that hot, dry, withering climate. But labor is so cheap that Chinese coolies are paid to wave huge fans over the boxes to keep the air circulating and the fruit, from spoiling till it can be delivered over to the buyers. Usually there are many buyers to the carload. The pur chaser doesn't move the fruit by truck or wagon Chi nese coolies carry it, two boxes each, slung from a bam boo pole across their shoulders. Sometimes your fruit goes on a journey inland for several days in this manner. -It '77 Buy a Quarter of a Pear " Such transportation and handling makes yoUr fruit very expensive abroad just like some imported delicacies in this country so costly, in fact, that your pears and apples may be cut in halves or quarters and sold to the natives in small pieces Grapes from our Los Angeles division are often sold to the natives by the individual berrv rather than by the basket or bunch. It is absolutely necessary, therefore, that an fruit shipped to these far-away markets be in excellent keeping condition and our highest quality fruit. Accordingly we select only the finest Pears from our orchards for these long journeys; fruit that has been properly grown, picked, packed, preceded, and held in storage here in Medford. Remember-the one pear that doesn't mean much to you may be a luxurious dessert " W"U1C """y teieurauon. Ana it nas to be a very good pear, to stand all the hardships of travel.
