MIR. APPEL's LETTER.
SACRAMENTO, August "a, 1895.
State Board Of Trade, San Francisco
GENTLEMEN Anticipating the opening
of the Atlanta Exposition and presuming
that your committee will be desirous of
forwarding fresh fruits for exhibition, we
would be pleased to offer our cars and
service, and also to make such arrange
ments as may prove TO our mutual inter-
est. L would suggest that in shipping as
sorted cars of fruit there. same could be
held III our refrigerator cars as long as
necessary, and the stock utilized as de-
sired. l think that sufficient quantity
of fruit could be sold to meet Rll ex-
penses, giving you the privilege of ex-
hibiting prior 10 the sale. Shall be pleased
to hear from you. Yours truly,
GEORGE Ii. APPEL. Agent.

George II. appel, Agt. c. +. T., Sacrd-
nlent0-DEAR SIR: Your favor of Au-
gust 24th, in which you kindly offer
your cars and service for the purpose of
shipments Of fresh fruit to our exhibit,
has been forwarded to me from Califor-
MIA. We would be glad to receive some
fresh fruit here fl ON time to time, and in
the hope that arrangements can be made
to do SO may | ask that you explain more
definitely your idea of what you think
would be practical Tor US TO do? Yours
very truly, etc. }. A. FILCHER.
Mgr. State Exhibit, Atlanta.
ATLANTA, September 10. 1895.
George II. AppeL, SdcrdnaentO-DEAR
SIR: / find there is great interest here
in California fruit, and with very little
encouragement l feel sure the demand
for our products could be greatly in
creased. With the view of helping in
this line l am disposed TO try and utilize
your generous offer made under date of
August 24th, and without waiting for
reply to my letter of some days ago |
write now TO ask whether. you cannot,
through J. B. Wright, arrange for sub
stantially free transportation for a car
load OF fresh fruit from California.
Our exhibit was brought here freight
free, and if we can get car of fruit
freight free, or nearly free, and your
company furnish the refrigerator service,
with the understanding that we may
keep part OF the fruit in cold storage in
the car here for week or two, am con-
fident wonderfully big point could be
made-not only for California and its fruit
business, but for the fruit shipping busi-
ness to this point and other places in the
South besides.
AS for the fruit. think the growers of
Sacramento and Newcastle could be in
terested, through the shipping houses, TO
get a good deal contributed. but if we
had to buy some, or all, l am quite sure
that after being exhibited here few days
it could be sold for enough or more than
enough TO compensate the growers.
There ought TO be some organization in
oil like that yyonld taxa
this subject up and see that our exhibit
and work here is supplemented with oc-
casional shipments of fresh fruit. What
is everybody's business is nobody's, and
hence, while l know you are busy, / will
ask you to look into this matter and in
form me as TO what you think is feasible,
promising in return to do what we can to
promote your interests in this section.
Y ours very truly, j. a. FILCHER,
Mgr. California Exhihit
