Do You Ship Tomatoes2

Florida tomatoes were formerly
shipped in bushel or box crates. Sew
eral years ago carrier crates made in
Virginia and Tennessee came into use
This year the larger part OF the crop
of southern tomatoes have been ship
ped in Warnell carriers-made by the
Warnell Lumber and Veneer Co., at
Warnell, Fla, thirty-five miles south
of Ocala. This company has studied
the wants of Florida shippers, and
their success is attested by the large
sale of their crate to the almost exclu-
sion of the foreign crates.
