. Better fruit. Fruit-culture. I Will Sell Over 1,000 Cars of Box Apples at Auction âJos. Di Giorgio AN OPEN CHALLENGE From the Auction to the Private Sale System for the Prompt and Profitable Disposition of the Northwest Box Apple Crop Telegrams and letters of abuse, recrimination, contention and counter-contention count for nothing. Oratory and literature are mere waste of wind and printers' ink. The Northwest wants a show-down. The growers there are sick and tired of having experiments made in selling methods, either by Associations or individuals, at their cost. I am going to give the apple growers of the Northwest the show-down they ask and I am going to prove my pointâ which is the superiority of the Auction over the Private Sale systemâwith my own money, not with the growers' money. I am the absolute owner of over ONE THOUSAND CARS OF BOX APPLES^BY COUNT, SO FAR, 654,791 BOXES; and every single, solitary car of that block of fruitâthe largest by all odds ever owned by any individual in the history of the trade--will be sold through the auction. If there is any chance in thus settling beyond all further controversy the merits of the auction system I am taking itânot the grower. If the plan of selling these apples at auction proves profitable to me, it should prove profitable to the grower who sells his own fruit at auction instead of selling it to me to resell at auction for my own profit. It is to be borne in mind that when I talk "Auction," I talk it for the regularly established auction points for the sale of fruits in cities of over 300,000 population, and I talk it for all recognized and reputable auction companiesâoutside of any in which I have a personal interest The selling of these One Thousand cars of box apples at auction will settle for all time and beyond all further con- troversy the comparative merits of the system that I am backing with my own money and at my own personal risk.
