The type of crate here shown (Figs. 99, 100, 101 and 102) has been used for several years to ship both eggs and dressed poultry several hun- dred miles by two express companies during the hot summer months. Both eggs and dressed poultry have been carried in the same crate in perfect order. The advantage of a crate which can be used for both eggs and dressed poultry, or for either poultry or eggs alone, is apparent. The producer is enabled to supply each customer with both poultry and eggs instead of either one alone. It is of equal advantage to the consumer to be able to secure his or her poultry and eggs direct from the farm. The profit is consider- able when the prices se- cured from a good private trade are compared with wholesale prices for similar products sold in the same city. The consumer not only is willing to pay the highest retail store price for poultry products ship- ped direct from the farm, but frequently will pay.
