The CLAM INDUSTRY.
Established by MIR. w. A. Saunders at
WrightsviIe on the Sound.


l found at Wrightsyille an extensive
clam shipping industry, conducted by
Mr.. w. A. Saunders.
Mr.. Saunders is a son of Col. D. S.
Saunders, of Beaufort, and came to
Wrightsville a few seasons ago He
equipped a fleet for clam fishing,
established q wharf and packing house
Immediately on the line of the Will
mington 81 Seacoast Railroad, and be-
gan to catch, pack and ship CLAIMS in
large quantities. The clam is one Of
the seas most delicious and palatable
bivalves-if anything but an oyster
can be called a bivalye-and a plate of
little necks on the half shell is dish
fit for the most fastidious, and Of all
the "hitters' that ever fitted from a
pan to a platter the 'clam filter"
takes the blue ribbon, and of all the
CLAIMS looking or tasting delicious,
whether on the half shell or in a fritz
ter, there are none superior to the
fat and succulent fellow that feeds on

| Mr., w. A. Saunders is a trained fisher
man, an expert in piscatorial matters,
n native of Beaufort, where fish, clam
and oyster catching, packing and ship
/ ping has been a leading industry for
century, the son of one Of the leading
! fish and oyster dealers in Eastern
North Carolina, he has naturally ac-
Quired knowledge as we'll as a fond
ness for the business that peculiarly
fit him for conducting it successfully.
His clam shipping enterprise at
| Wrightsville has grown within a short
time to considerable proportions. His
average daily shipments in season is
some three hundred bushels. He
shipped during the past season in the
neighborhood of $4,000 bushels. They
went mainly to New York, but a good

bean box, on account of the better con-
dition Of beans shipped in the cone
shaped basket.
Another speciality turned out is the
berry crate. 1t is made in two grades
the STANDARD" and the Gift" crate.
The standard is more highly finished
and is returned from the markets to
shippers for use a second time, or
more. The gift crate is used for one
shipment only and is destroyed at it's
destination. These crates are used
largely in the shipment of strawber-
ries Their capacity is thirtytwo
quarts, and no superior crate has yet
been devised.
For the grapetrade, both the ordi-
nary grape basket and the new fash
toned grape crate are made. The
quality of these goods is not excelled
anywhere, as is attested by the Inn
mense and growing trade which the
Warsaw crate factory enjoys.
The enterprise gives employment te
