How Food Inspection Helps Business

If a New York apple grower ships hi* finest fruit to Pennsylvania and later receives a report that It ha* arrived In poor condition, he either accuses the receiver of dishonesty, or lays the blame to the railroad. An argument ensues; time and money are lost. But If the shipper had demanded \ Government Inspection of the shipt as a matter of course, he would know beyond the shadow of a doubt the precise condition in which his apples wer- received. An Increasing number of shippers and buyers are protecting then:selves by the use of this service. Only recently an exporter stated that beie of having a Government Inspection of hi* export produce hi* busibad grown considerably, for Ms clients In foreign markets now hare prims facie evidence attesting the condition of the fruit before It Is loadm the boat and are literally deluging him with orders.
