Such members as these. place the Or
ange Auction and Forwarding Company
on 2 sound business basis. Eliminating,
As it has done, all the weak elements Of
the past, it comes to you i'll this circular
and appeals to your intelligence whether
or not it is better to adopt the auction
plan TO dispose OF your fruit at your own
home market, saving those losses that you
have experienced in the past, than by the
old method consign your fruit TO rrespon-
sible distant consignees-waltlng often
times weeks and months for returns that,
as rule, prove unsatisfactory. The
auction plan, wherever adopted, has
proved a success, and there is no reason
why, if the fruit growers of Florida will
appreciate the benefits which we OTTER,
and send their fruit to their own home Ca
ccntraD market, the same results Will not
follow here as elsewhere. Ii any fruit
grower who may read this circular has
any doubts as TO the success OF the auc-
ton method, or does not fully understand
all the points intended to be expressed,
let him address the Florida Orange Auc-
ton and Forwarding Company, Jackson
Vile, Fla, stating his case as briefly as
possible We will do all We can to ex-
plain and make the matter clear to him.
Situated, as we are, at the termini of
the great lines Of railroad entering Flor
ida. with the magnificent Clyde Line Of
steamers as competitors for carrying
freight, Jacksonville offers every induce
ment to the grower and also to the buyer
as a central market, where the highest
prices can be had at the least possible ex
pense and risk to the fruit grower. We
ask the fruit growers of Florida to CO.
operate with us and make this the great
distributing point OF the immense and
valuable crop of oranges, believing, rs We
firmly do, that the best interest of the
grower, As well as the vital interest Of
the State, demand that the marketing OF
Florida fruit should be in Florida.
While the auction plan which We offtr
is the safest, quickest and most successful
that can possibly be adopted, it is in bar
mony with the rapid and progressive
spirit OF the times, striving onward tor the
attainment of these great ends: The
prompt disposal of the fruit at the highest
prices, with the least possible risk, and
uuick returns OF the cash to the grower.
Such being the results sought by the Or
anee Auction and Forwarding Company
Of Florida we ask the fruit growers OF the
State to unite with us, plcdging ourselves
to do all that is possible by energy and
business skill, and to perform our whole
duty to them.
Correspondence solicited.
