Market Districts.
The country Is divided into market
ing districts with a district manager
I'm control OF each district The office
of this district manager Is always In
the western terminus OF the railroad
system, so he can have the fruit NOV
cd on under the postage stamp freight
from point TO point In his district.
or turn Il over TO the next district
east OF him. as directed by the Cal!
fornia Fruit Exchange. The prices are
fixed by the fruit exchange In Call
fornia. and the agent at any point,
Chicago, Buffalo or Cleveland, has no
authority to change the price or make
any allowance unless authorized by
the home Office.
At all agency points the California
Fruit Exchange has a bank account,
subject only TO check from the home
ONCE. When the fruit is delivered, II
is at once paid for, and the money
passed to the credit Of the exchange.
An accurate account, by means of
a card system, Is kept Of the daily
Of each car across the
country and by means Of the color of
the card the special sub-exchange Dy
which it comes can be told at once.
The great advantage Of the system is
the complete method of distribution
all over the country, building UP new
increasing the demand of
old markets and pushing the buiness
everywhere.
or course, the law of supply and
demand regulates the price, but the
systematic efforts Of the exchange
have greatly increased the consump-
ton of fruit in many, il not in ALL
Of the markets Of the country.

Electric Bitters work wonders. They
