MARKETING MUSK MELONS.
How One Producer Disposed Of His
Crop at a Gratifying
Profit

Before beginning to ship we made
arrangements with a commission firm
TO handle our whole crop. says an llli-
nois gardener. We told them about
how many baskets we expected TO have
and how we would grade and mark
them. This arrangement proved much
more satisfactory than shipping 10 half
a dozen OF more firms, as had been our
previous custom.
My experience the past season con-
firms the belief that the way TO make
money out Of melon growing is 10
build up a reputation for shipping
good goods and have your own brand
or trade mark We made is ship
ments 10 our commission man and
had goods I'm every shipment that sold
at the highest price. This result was
secured by holding up the quality. AS
the season progressed we culled closer
and closer. This naturally gave as o
smaller proportion Of fancy and No. !
melons. but we had the satisfaction OF
getting the top price from first 20 last
for our best goods-that bore our
trade mark.
A month after the melon season was
over the salesman who had charge of
selling our fruit said It was a pleasure
TO handle such goods. Il hurt the
customers at first 10 pay more than
they could get other melons for but
after they once got started they nj
most fought TO get our fruit before ii
was gone and il attracted the attention
OF statesmen of other houses who could
not get such prices as we got for youT
melons. The crates containing our
fancy melons were ordered ahead and
the salesman often had to cut down
an the orders so as 10 divide up the
goods and let each customer have
some. He said he viii have no trouble
next year selling an the fancy and 40
stock we can raise, as the buyers
had good enough sample this year o.
remember the brand.

Nothing else has so impressed John

France as the thrift and industry OF
the people. There is no waste he
saws with admiration, "in farm or

Mr. Rockefeller put his finger at once

Kings have gone and come, empires
crashed in the dust, fashions In repub-

has gone on steadfastly tilling the soil
