FRUIT SHIPPING
in BAGS IS HIT

WESLACO, Feb. Use Of bag
for shipment Of grapefruit y
frowned upon by Rio Grande Valley
Citrus Exchange officials to point
out the impracticability Of such
containers.
I'VE have consistently refused TO
ship grapefruit in such a manner
and shall continue 70 discourage the
practice for many good reasons"
Ed F. Miller. general sales manager
of the Exchange. asserted.
The very nature Of grapefruit Is
such that it should not be treated
like potatoes, onions, or coal. Bags
cannot protect it from bruises or
cuts. which start decay.
Standard boxes have been the
vogue in all producing areas in the
United States for nor than SO
years. California won't permit any
thing but standard boxes for inter-
state rail shipments and California
has found ii the wise thing TO do.
we are proud enough Of our fruit
that we take pleasure in displaying
our trademarks and labels on our
standard boxes which permit suchl
displays"
Chain stores in the larger cities
buy fruit packed in bags because
they can do 20 for less money than
they would have TO pay for attract
i've boxed fruit: they likewise sell
it for less than the independent
neighborhood grocer al buy fruit
in standard containers, according TO
Mr.. Miller. That d4scourages the
independent grocer from buying
fruit he said.
One OF the Str.=-est indictments
against the use or bags for ship
ment OF grapefruit came to the Of
flee Of the exchange this week from
Florida when /. "A. Yarnell, form
er chairman Of the Florida Citrus
Control committee and now a grow
er member, wrote that the gov
eminent would not purchase relief
grapefruit there this year If is bags.
Last year, according to Yarnell,
he government purchasing relief
grapefruit shipped It out in bags
because OF the few cents less ex-
penSe. II proved very costly n de-
cayed and spoiled fruit and they
would not repeat the same expert
ment again, he declared.
The Florida man stated he was
surprised to learn some Valley ship
perS were using the bag container
instead Of sticking with the stand
ard box, and predicted the practice
would be short Lived as II would be
found TO be impractical and unsa-
tiStactory and false economy.
The Rio Grande Valley Citrus
Exchange IS justly proud OF its
fruit and is glad 10 display its
trademark on 1t. We believe we are
doing the prospective customer a
favor by doing so as they are able
to tell at a glance what sort OF
fruit they can expect when they
buy it, Miller said.

ported Saturday TO have completed

tative quarters as observers watched

pressing every confidence that the

The securities and exchange COM
mission was considering closing all

nizing that uncertainty about the

be anxious 10 guard against fluc-
tuations OF m extreme nature.

privileged to enter the sacrosanct
little TO IN, ajoiping the club,
known as the office. A combina'
ton office, lounge, and private
club room, this unusual little re.
treat has lately taken on the air
of an art gallery or museum.
For here it is that Beaming Bill
and Bernie Levy, impresarios of
the Hangar, have hung their walls
with autographed photos of all
the celebrities who have caroused
at one time or another at the
Hangar in the past couple of
years. And lately every night
has seemed like celebrity night.
Open now from early evening
until long after sunrise, the Han
gar Is the only all-night cabaret
in town, and seldom does 2 or 3
a. m. roll around without at least
one big table Of front-page folk
making merry. Dancers, visiting
screen stars, radio bigwigs, poll
ticians on their nights out-they
all eventually find their way to
the Hangar, where, no matter
how important they are, they're
all just so many more guests to
the Brothers Levy.
