This box contains 1876 perfect

density of my ignorance l caused to
be printed in large red letters ex-
tending clear across the label,
Yakima Choice Fruit. One of
my good buyer friends, with the
best Intentions in the world, in
formed me that the word choice"
was not used to indicate the best
fruit in the New York market.
where most OF my fruit is sold, but
was used as denoting a rather Sec
ond-rate quality. This fact (for l
have no reason to doubt that it is a
fact) disturbed my peace OF mind
for some little time, but it was too
late to help it, and after my ex-
perience in selling my crop ceased
to care anything about it, because
| learned, l think, to a certainty,
as I said before, that the prices OBJ
tanned are controlled by the
quality of the fruit and not by
what is said about it on the label.
| firmly believe that when your
pears are sent to strange market
they will bring as much money if
marked Bartlett Pears from Tom
Johnson as they will if branded
Extra Fancy Select, for before
any buyer will invest in them he
will open the package and find out
what you call extra fancy select,
and the price that he will pay will
depend upon what he thinks of the
quality of the fruit.
Ii you can produce Bartlett
pear with fine bright blush or red
cheek you will find a delightful diff
ference in the price it will sell for.

portion of the pears will measure
two and three inches in diameter
we begin picking, and pick only
those OF that size and larger, and

times--we get our entire crop of

does not sound very attractive, so
they say Extra A1". If the goods
are better than that they tell in
plain words just what they are
double plate'', triple plate,
quadruple plate'', etc., and gen.
orally the best makers will give the
number Of pennyweights of silver
used to the set or dozen. But you
will never find this class of bust

jectives in describing the quality of
their goods; if they did, the last
man to enter field would have the
longest string and the best brand,
and they would have the ridiculous
experience we see in the fruit bust
ness sometimes.
Not long since the word prime
described the best quality Of fruit;
that finally became tame, and the
best was called '.'choice"; then
when that began to show signs Of
wear they called it fancy" and
that should have been the limit,
but it was not, for last fall a neigh

pears in three grades and to mark
them Fancy, Extra Fancy.

MEN never pay high price for
the marks upon a package. 1t is
the goods inside the package that
determines what a buyer will pay,
and no brand will ever be of any
practical value to anybody until the
buyers have learned that that brand
always covers exactly what it claims
to cover, then the brand becomes
valuable and constantly increases in
value. For this reason men who
put out goods of superior quality en-
deavor to hit up something unique.
so that their brand can always be
easily distinguished from others in
the same line of business, and these
brands are usually. copyrighted to
prevent others from making use OF
them. and I think that fruit grow
ers who are trying to excel IN the
quality of their pack Of fruit should
be governed in exactly the same
way. If we say anything about
what is in the package let 1t be
something that any one can under
stand. For instance, the labe
that l place upon my finest Bartlett
