EXPRESS SERVICE HANDLES
LARGE VOLUM OF PEACHES
That Georgia peaches in solid
cars moved by expreas service to
northern markets is one of the inter
esting assertions of H. D. Pollard,
Receiver and fortner President of
the Central of Georgia Railway, in
a statement published today Hr. Pol
lard's statement discussed the hand
ling of the South's summer crops by
the railroads, and he mud:
“An unusual and interesting de
velopment in the handling of Georgia
peaches this year has been the move
ment if solid cars by express
rice. Express rates are nearly double
t'.ie rates by regular freight service.
Yet, in spite of this increase in
transflorution fcharge, favorable
markets with good prices have made
it worth the buyer's while to have
his cars shipped by express evei
the higher rates.”
Dincussing the maner in which the
railroads play their part in the
“efficient and orderly distribution
of the products of farm and orch
ard,” Mi. Pollard said:
"Railroad trains, moving on regu
lar schedule and to fixed destina
tions make it possible for the grow
er, the buyer and the dealers to co
operate to the best interest of all.
No market gluts need occur when
the major portion of a crop mover
