CAR SATURDAY
Gatewood Brothers and
Hansford Peaches
Nearly Ready

With express shipments of peaches
already moving rapidly to various
market, indications today were that
Sumter county's first carload ship
ment of this fruit would go forward
probably Saturday afternoon. The
car will be consigned to the order
of the Georgia Fruit Growers Ex-
change, and its destination will be
ordered by that organization. The
shippers will be Gatewood Brothers
and Lee NJ. Hansford, according to
present plans, and the car, it is stat
ed, will be loaded at Americus. With
prevailing weather very favorable
for ripening and picking of the fruit,
it may develop that more than one
car will go forward on the date
named, as both Gatewood Bros. and
Mr.. Hansford have large quantities
of the fruit nearing maturity and
about ready for shipping.
The first car of Sumter peaches to
be shipped will be of the Hansford
Beauty variety, the growers named
producing that variety exclusively.
Manager Grey Tillman, of the At
lantic Ice & Coal Corporation, has
perfected arrangements for icing a
large quantity of peaches here during
the season. and with the inauguration
of the Centrals famous ssPeach Spe-
ciaF next week, practically every car
of fruit passing here will be re-iced
at the Americus plant.
