Cases Grapefruit

Canned grapefruit has met strong
popular demand. One taste seems
to call for several others. A San
Pedro Gamer who packed grapefruit
for the first time this year put out
$4,000 cases. He says:
"The grapefruit used is orchard
run, but nothing is taken less than
100 counts. Fruit must be sound,
but both oranges and grapefruit can
be used for canning that would not
grade up for shipping. Very little
machinery is used in canning grape
fruit, it is said, most of the work
in this connection being done by
hand operation.
