llLOOMIS SAYS STORAGE
m IIlAill ilLLllLU
Discussing the importance of storage
in transit privileges to the box-apple
industry, Edward N. Loomis, repre
senting the conference committe of the
International Apple Shippers' Associa
tion, the National League of Commis
sion Merchants and the Western Fruit
Jobbers' Association, said recently.
"The apple season of 191Q and 1911
will always be remembered as remark
able for the extremely high prices paid
for barreled fruit, which have been the
highest, and the extremely low prices
for box apples, which have been the
lowest in the history of the apple in
dustry. The demand at all times has
been dull and dragging on boxes, while
strong and active on barrels, and this
in spite of the fact that the quality of
the box apples has always been super
ior to that of barreled ones.
"What is the reason of this paradox?
Can it be possible that the more scien
tific and careful the growing and pack
ing of apples become, the less they are
appreciated? Has the expert packing
of apples, which has reached its high
est development in the producing sec
tions of the Facfiic slope, resulted now
in making the public prefer the rough-and-ready,
slap-dash packing of bar
reled apples, especially when it is
known that the great majority of the
latter contain, with the exception of
those on the face or top of the barrel,
apples suitable for cooking? No, the
sensible reason that box apples have
not been wanted and ruled at low prices
lies in the method of distribution of
the two classes.
"The barrels have been shipped to
every marnet in the country, large or
small. There has been a strong de
mand for them in England and Ger
many. Western New York fruit
houses have had a steady demand and
drain on them from the west and the
south, and from the east and from the
lands across the sea. There was about
an equal quantity of apples packed in
barrels and boxes ; the barrels are be
ing consumed in a thousand places, the
box crop practically was marketed in
two cities Chicago and New York. Of
course, there were small amounts of
boxes shipped abroad, especially Cali
fornia Newtowns and some few cities
like Philadelphia and Boston had a
small amount, but the markets of New
York and Chicago were at all times
over-supplied.
"The newspapers were filled with
flashing advertisements on the part of
a few dealers stating the hundreds of
thousands of boxes their firm would
have the distinction of handling. 'Ihe
impression was given that the quantity
was so unlimited on the part of every
large dealer in Chicago and New York
that every small dealer shut out the
temptation of investing in them.
"This absolute lack of intelligent
distribution came about through the
rigid rules of the railroads regarding
freight rates on box apples. One
dollar per hundred is the rate on a car
load of box apples whether shipped to
Denver, Chicago or New York, and
when stored at o le point or the other,
it cannot be reshipped without paying
another freight rate. If a storage in
transit privilege should be allowed on
shipments of box apples, there would
at once develop a system of distribu
tion which would scatter the crop of
box apples all over the country; it
would place them in consumption
where they were most wanted. The
crop of box apples, amounting to
twenty million boxes, is transported in
a month and a half, but it requires
nine months to consume it, even though
it should be scattered to every city,
large or small.
"By the Btorage in transit privilege
is meant the privilege to ship tho car
to any warehouse that is desired, ana
later on, when the owner desires to
market that car of atmlcs. to shin it to
its ultimate destination and pay for the
total services the through rate from
the initial point of shipment to the ul
timate destination and a switching
charge in addition because that is the
only extra service in addition to the
through haul that the railroad has ren
dered in granting this privilege.
"It is impossible for the owner of a
considerable amount of box apples,
whether he is a grower, or the associa
tion of growers or a merchant who has
invested his money in their output to
tell what market during the coming
nine months after the crop is gathered
will be a desirable market lor his ap
pies. He can tell less because it is a
new industry and only cities of the
larger size have developed the use of
box mini
"With the very great increase in the
production of the tar western orchards,
amounting last year to twenty million
boxes, it is essential for tho prosperity
of the growers in the lar west, or any
person who desires any part of that
industry, whether railroads or ware
house men or merchants, to do a lot of
missionary work in scattering the crop
and introducing it to the cities of
smaller size and the Kuronean mar
kets. A lot of this work has been done
already, and the crop would flow to
cities of the second class a well as the
first class, if tho railroads would see to
it that a flexible method of distribution
was permitted by granting the storage
in transit privilege,
"The greatest benefit would go to the
railroads between Chicago and New
York. In that district half the wealth
of the country lies, and halt the crop
of box apples should be there distrib
uted With the exception of one rail
road, the Erie, the other trans-conti
nental lines from Chicago to the east
hav next to nothing of this traffic. Ihe
storage in transit privilege would give
to them a very large share of this
trallic. It is of the utmost importance,
therefore, that all growers and grow
ers' associations and all apple dealers
should bring this information to the
attention of the head officials of rail
roads; it will help them more than the
general industry.
"lu addition to this, it is a matter of
importance to all persons interested in
the apple industry, whether in barrels
or boxes, because if the box industry
is placed upon a healthy and profitable
basis, the capital available for invest
ment in apples will flow toward that
part of the industry and leave the bar
reled apples open to a natural compe
tition, out not to
the excessive compe
tition that now exists, fruit I rade

Something New In
Kitchen Ware
The "1892" Pure Spun Aluminum Ware is rapidly
coming into use for cooking purposes. It is taKing
the place of agate and enamel ware because while its
first cost is a trifle more than ordinary ware, it is
really much cheaper in the long run, as it is guaran
teed for twenty:five year and. will' last practically
a life time.
The genuine "1892" Ware, made only from pure
SPUN (not cast) Aluminum, wilt not crack, scale, peel,
break, 6corch or burn.
It looks like silver but weighs only about one
quarter as much, is easily cleaned and handled, and
will not rusti corrode or tarnish. Absolutely pure,
non-poisonous and wholesome ; saves money, time and
doctor's bills.
