Denver. Colo, Aug. D, 1897.
Delta County Fruit Growers Assn,
Delta. Colo.
Observation-Disclosures please find ac-
count OF sales for goods and tobalance-
Now we wish to call your attention to
the fact that small peaches and poorly
packed stock will not bring any price.
Some of your peaches are fair and il put
in proper boxes and nicely packed would
bring a fair price, but to put small
peaches in deep boxes and half Of them
wrapped is n. e. and will not demand any
price. Again, your peaches are not
properly graded No. have all sizes in
the boxes and No. are the same way.
The trade is disgnsted with this poor
measely stock and as long as you ship it
you cannot expect any money for it. The
Grand Junction people are doing great
deal better. though they have a great
deal to learn yet. Their boxes are long
er and clean and smooth with the as
sociation brand on the end. This is as
it should be. Your packages are mighty
poor lockers and it takes a mighty fine
peach TO help it out. Then there is
another thing. We have cheap stores who
are constantly looking for those poor,
measely, little peaches, for they know
they can buy them for nothing, las
good house will not have them at any
price which damages the trade and
forces down -h- better stock. As you
doubtless are aware peaches will not last
forever and must be sold, so you can
readily see that you had better leave
your poor small stock at home.
Yours Truly.
