of cantaloupes, 2,633 cars of peaches, 1,900 cars of lettuce, to mention a few of the leading products handled. This ton- nage is gathered through a dozen shipping divisions and numerous subdivisions.. It is distributed through a terminal sales organization which includes jobbing houses in three important market centers, New York, Pittsburgh, and Chi- cago; salaried offices and agencies covering all carlot markets of the United States and Canada; and an export department which is rapidly increasing exports of fresh fruits to Great Britain, Europe, and the Orient. Today the American Fruit Growers, Inc., is recognized as meeting the essentials of national marketing, in that it standardizes the product in the growing, grading, and pack- ing and ships it to the market under a consumer-advertised trade-mark with regularity throughout the season. Blue Goose products may be found in all markets, large and small, of the United States and Canada, and in European countries, practically every day in the year. The agricultural industry lags behind in the adoption of efficient business methods. As a result, agricultural producers have suffered heavily. It is generally recognized that what the industry needs is organized marketing on a national and international scale. Such organization will probably mean the development of a few great distributing systems, large enough to operate nationally and internationally, and reduc: ing economic waste to a minimum. Thanks to the vision of its organizers and supporters, the American Fruit Growers, Inc., has taken the lead in this development, marking Pittsburgh as the center of another, great and vital enterprise. CRUIKSHANK BROTHERS COMPANY The Cruikshank Brothers Company is a Pennsylvania State Corporation, incorporated in 1892, but it had its be- ginning many years before in the handling and manufacturing of food products. The father of Cruikshank Brothers estab- lished a grocery business in Pittsburgh on the North Side in 1844. The sons took up the business in 1875.
