MORE ABOUT APPLE
PACKING AND USING
CAMPAIGN STARTED

Press reports going out from Den
yer speak of a new application Of CO
operative marketing in connection
with the apple campaign conducted on
the Western Slope early In October.
AS the term is usually used, cooper
atiye marketing means the pooling of
products by the growers and their sale
on commodity basis. In this cam
paign the application of the term has
a wider meaning, referring not to the
manner of selling 30 much as to the
Standardization of the product, to
make II sell itself. The consumer will
pay for quality, providing the price is
held within reasonable limits. In ap-
pies, however, the question has not
been quality 80 much as appearance.
The consumer relies on the Judgment
of the eye. An attractive pack and
good color go a long way toward Gre
ating desire for apples.
If Northwestern growers have a way
of playing to this well known human
trait and Colorado consumers have
forgotten loyalty to their own state I'm
buying the apple that pleases the eve.
obviously the remedy of the Colorado
grower is to put up his apples lust as
attractlyoly. AS far as flavor ia CON
cerned there Is nothing finer than that
which sun, soil and mountain water
impart to the Colorado Western Slope
