State Crab Meat Pack to Increase
Packs of canned Dungeness crab meat along the California coast, discontinued during the war, are expected to be greatly increased for the postwar markets, it has been recently reported.
The carrying of crab meat on the Pacific coast and in Alaska had made excellent progress from the experimental stage when war halted operations.
With the Japanese processed crab off the market and possibly prohibited from sale in this country for some time to come, opportunities are wide open for the American pack.

Sees Human Side of Citrus Selling
OMAHA—The more your reporter sees of this job of selling citrus fruit, the less it looks like a bed of roses.
Yesterday morning, Ralph Timmons, Exchange District Sales Manager here, got a sharp letter from a buyer in an outlying town.
The buyer had bought a certain car of navel oranges and paid ceiling on all sizes. A few hours later he learned that another branch of his own organization had bought a car of navels of the same quality from the same packing house on the same day and secured a discount on the small sizes.
When your reporter read the letter, he wondered that it didn't burst into flame right there on the desk.
Timmons asked the office secretary to get the buyer on the phone. While the call was going through, he got out the size lists on the two cars in question.
Soon as Timmons said, "Hello, Joel" the buyer set the wires to crackling and for a minute Timmons couldn't get a word in edgewise. Eventually he called, "Wait, Joel! Listen! Those cars weren't the same... Wait now!... His car had lots more small fruit in it than yours. Let me read you the sizes."
Quietly Timmons read him the list on the other car, showed him that his own car had a much better run of sizes, and proved to him that both deals were perfectly fair. The buyer ended up feeling fine about the whole thing.
Then after lunch a jobber in another outlying town phoned in and began laying Timmons out for failing to hold a certain car for him.
This time, to your reporter's surprise, Timmons took an entirely different tack. "You had the refusal on that car for more than two days while it was rolling to this market," he said coolly.
"We talked to you day before yesterday. We tried to reach you twice yesterday—and what's more, when we failed to reach you by phone, we wired you to be sure to let us know first thing this morning. When the car arrived and we still didn't hear, we naturally sold it to someone else."
Every Edison customer has 97,000 friends
Edison is owned by 93,000 stockholders and there are 97,000 Edison employees—97,000 people intimately concerned about the quality of your electrical service.
It takes the savings of a lot of people and a lot of work to run the Edison Company. The stockholders invested their savings and the employees invested their services—that is free enterprise at work.
Edison stockholders and employees have built dams, cannels, powerhouses, substations and thousands of miles of line—an electrical system that serves 650,000 customers. The electrical service is of the best, and the rates are low.
This time, to your reporter's surprise, Timmons took an entirely different tack. "You had the refusal on that car for more than two days while it was rolling to this market," he said coolly.
"We talked to you day before yesterday. We tried to reach you twice yesterday—and what's more, when we failed to reach you by phone, we wired you to be sure to let us know first thing this morning. When the car arrived and we still didn't hear, we naturally sold it to someone else."
The jobber didn't like this very well—in fact, he still was pretty upset when Timmons hung up the phone. By his delay he had missed out on a good car of fruit.
"He knows we did the right thing," Timmons explained calmly, "But we'll try to get another car that will give him what he wants."
Within five minutes he had dictated a wire to the Central Exchange Sales Department in Los Angeles: "Please make special effort to duplicate car number so-and-so, exact sizes and quality." This morning Timmons had the pleasure of telling the jobber that a similar car had been diverted to supply his needs.
The jobber was very pleased—genuinely grateful.
Incidents like these happen in every Sunkist sales office every day. They demonstrate clearly that the successful selling of citrus fruit is far more than the mere exchange of telegrams between shipper and buyer. The human side is as important a part of the business as price, quality, or anything else. The trade prefers Sunkist fruit. It also prefers to deal with Sunkist people. Because incident after incident has proved that they play fair and do their best to be helpful.
The confidence built up in this way through the years is a priceless asset. No other citrus marketing organization has a similar standing. This outstanding reputation is one of the basic advantages that Exchange members will enjoy in the new competitive era ahead.
Next report: From Milwaukee two weeks from today.
