FRUIT CASES
Sir, —My Mr Morrison. After interviewing iruit brokers and growers, I should like to rectify my mistakes—and Mr Morrison’s. Vegetable containers are apple, orange, and banana cases, which come, filled with their respective fruits, to the brokers. At this time there is no charge to the retailer for the case. When empty, cases may be sold back to the brokers for 4£d or the grower at Is. This is how Mr Morrison supplies the case in the first place. As a vegetable container, the case costs Is and may be resold as above. Hundreds are sold back to growers at Is.. About half the supplies of vegetables are sold in sacks at a trifling loss of approximately IJd so I still contend that Mr Morrison’s statement concerning the price of containers making any appreciable difference to the price of vegetables is nonsense.—Yours, etc.. NO RED HERRINGS. July 16, 1953.
