LABELS ON TIN CONTAINERS — a Aa Necessary to Establish Reputation for Reliability as to Have Prod ucts Put Up Attractively— Cater to Needs of Buyer*. Well-stocked pantry shelves found in so many American homes ut the end of the canning season have not been enough In the way of food sav ing for many women and girls who last year, especially through their or ganized cluhs, put up millions of jars and cans of fruits and vegetables In response to the world's need of food. Although some of 'this surplus canned food, that the pantry shelves would not hold, was sold on local mar kets, and some of It was even shipped to nearby points, here and there the home canners found that It was hard to sell the surplus. One of the main dllTlcultles, as pointed out by the bu reau of markets, was that the home- canned products were not standard ized, for many cases were found where well-selected, carefully packed stand ardized goods !)fought good prlees'To the home canner. Best Markets. Local or nearby markets for home- scanned products are usually the best. The attractiveness of the pack and containers affects Its selling qualities, Merchants or other buyers do not want a miscellaneous assortment of products, and It Is better practice to put different products In boxes by themselves and not to mix containers- of peaches and peppers, for example, In the same lot when offering them for sale. Containers should he graded as to size and quarts and pints kept separate. Labels are necessary on tin containers and help sell cunned goods!” Where‘products are put up by mem bers of canning cluhs ur.der organized, supervision It Is possible to guaran tee the puck of the different ^products as to grade and weight of measure,- This* Is a considerable aid In selling, since the buyer then knows exactly what he Is buying. Pooling Products. In case the products art* pooled for marketing, the different kinds of fruit or vegetables can be placed together In graded-slzed containers, wlien, -per^ haps, the pack of any one individual might not he large enough to make up a quantity sufficient- to attract buyers. It Is as necessary- to estab lish a reputation for reliability as to have products put up attractively.
