Jacksonville Metropolis. This morning
Manager Ives, Secretary Turner and Audi
tor Marvin of the Florida Fruit Exchange
we're testing and exhibiting two newly in
vented orange sizers at the exchange head
quarters in this city. Both of the sizers
are the result of the brain work of Alfred
Aver of Lake Weir, Fla. The ring chain
sizer is quite an invention and sorts out the
oranges by means of passage over rings of
various sizes, the fruit of the same size
dropping into one receptacle. Ii can be
operated by one man and 400 boxes of
oranges sorted per day. The other sizer
has just been put upon the market and is a
novelty Simply constructed, convenient
and easily operated. A lad can run out 100
boxes per day on it. This sizer conveys the
oranges TO circles of different diameters
and drops them according to size altogether
rapidly and without bruising them. Both
are operated by turning a crank 1t is
worth any ones time to call and see these
sizers operated, and how perfectly they
perform the work for which they were
invented. Mr.. Ives intends to operate one
with water motor.
