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 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.
