4PACK RAIsINs IN JARS.

Editor Call: Having just read your
editorial Advertise the Raisins" in to-
days Call, the idea has occurred to me
that the retail sales of raisins could be
very largely increased by packing them
in ordinary fruit jars-pint. quart
and two quart glass jars One rea-
son for this is that the raisins would
remain in good condition almost in
definitely. The jar would always be
useful to the purchaser. But the best
reason of all for putting up raisins In
this way is that they would enable the
retail dealers to place them on their
shelves and counters, where they would
always be in sight of their customers.
whereas now they are packed out of
sight in drawers or in boxes, etc There
is no valid reason why every pound of
raisins produced on this coast should
not be sold to the people of these
United States at fair profit to the
producers, jobbers and retail mer-
