Author Description

Excerpt from History of Cooperation in the Marketing of California Fresh Deciduous Fruits The Original Plan - The committee on resolutions at the meeting of September 24 and 25 was made a committee on organization.55 It went to work vigorously, and on October 1 issued a circular outlining briey a plan of organization, stating what it might accomplish, and asking for subscriptions to the proposed organization. The circular pointed out that quantities ten times as large as the present sales could be made on eastern markets 'if well-selected, good-conditioned fruit were placed there at sufficiently low' prices to popularize it. It pointed out further that these results could be gotten only by thorough organization which would secure: First: The proper selection and uniform reliable packing of all fruits and grapes for shipment. Second: The grouping together of all such shipments so as to make up entire trainloads to points of central distribution (thence to be sent in separate carloads to their various allotted destinations) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
