New Export Apple Box

J. Howard Wright. of the Wright
Fruit Co., shippers of apples and pears
from North Yakima. states that they
have devised new apple box for ex-
port purposes. The box ordinarily
used has single thickness bottoms. but
after considerable experimental ship

carried better. Shipments have been
made to South America and other for
eign points and were highly successful
with the double thickness bottom.
