who had been travelling over our states
for six months visiting our transportn-
lion Industries. They had money and
leisure and Intended to locate here. and
they Ind decided that the fruit indus
try offered the greatest inducement Of
anything they had discovered In amer
lea. They criticised some Of our meth
ods. They said TO me:

II seems to me the one grent business
point IN our fruit market today is the
lack OF putting the fruit up properly.
