The Indian River Star in its issue
Of Jan. 10, printed this paragraph:
Something radically wrong about
the orange industry in Florida. While
it is admitted that Florida oranges are
better than California oranges. the re-
ports of the U. 8. Bureau of Crop
Reports show that in 1916 California
oranges sold for $2.S5 a box more
than Florida oranges, 40 cents box
more in 1917, and IS cents a box
more in 1913"
On the same date the Tampa Times
said:
"The reputation of the Florida or.
ange, as being the best grown any
where, is fully established, and Is no
longer controverted.
The Star then goes on further be-
moaning the discrepancy:
Even California fruit experts ad-
NIT that the Florida orange Is superior
to the California orange.
Florida newspapers should ascer-
tain why the California orange is sold
for a higher price in the northern
markets than the Florida orange.
The Star believes the superiority OF
the Florida orange should be made
known to the whole world"
The reason the California orange
brings a greater price is very sim
pie: It's advertising that does it.
California spends ten dollars to our
one in making the people believe it is
the superior orange. And the reason
they can advertise is because Califor-
mia growers are organized. Just about
tenth Of Florida growers are in the
Exchange. The other big per cent.
are trusting to their own powers of
selling in market where the Cali
fornia product is in favor.
California took the homely and
much-used prune and dignified it
to delicacy at 40 cents the pound.
California has taken the English
walnut and graduated it into the 400
class at 60 cents the pound.
The writer remembers the time he
would go to a California olive pick
ling house and buy quart Of ripe
olives for five cents, and now you
pay 81 for bottle Of them, and the
bottle is about the size of a hair
tonic container.
A pretty package and judicious ad-
vertising will popularize anything Of
merit, and the advertiser can name
his price and get 1t.
