Florida Encoura ges
Mixed Car Shipments
SANFORD, Fla., Sept. 6—A move
ment to encourage mixed car ship
ments of vegetables for the coming
season from this point was inaugur
ated late last week at a meeting of
representatives of local distributing
companies. Firms represented at the
meeting were Chase & Co.. F. F.
Dutton, Sanford - Oviedo Truck
Growers. Florida Vegetable Corpor
ation. American Fruit Growers. Inc.,
and the Sanford Farmers’ Exchange.
The plans as outlined were for
uniform packing of products and for
the production of standardized va

discussed for a central packing
plant, where the vegetables would be

ed Celery, cabbage, turnips, carrots
