Modern sales agencies in the fruit trade are en- deavoring to correct this defect, and in this illustration is shown the quadrupli- cate order form which is executed as soon as the sale has been confirmed by tele- graph. In these are set down each and every verbal understanding of whatever nature. The grading rules under which the fruit is to be packed and shipped are indicated, and every possible precaution is taken to remove all possibility of mis- understanding, and therefore of justifiable rejection. The original of this form is filed by the sales agency and a duplicate mailed to the shipper for his guidance in making the shipment. There is a coupon on his copy for him to date and sign and mail back to the sales agency, which forms a written acceptance and confirma- tion of the sale for his account. The triplicate is mailed to the buyer and the quadruplicate to the district sales office at point of destination. Thus, in one operation, all four parties to the transac- tion are notified in identical language, and any exceptions may be noted and filed in time to permit correction and avoid dispute. While this system does not entirely do away with rejections, it to a very important extent minimizes them.
