Three Hot Spots HOUSTON—Above headline refers to three southern cities just visited by your reporter—Atlanta, New Orleans and now Houston. It does not refer, however, to the temperature—though it might. From the standpoint of California orange growers, these three cities are hot in another sense, too. They're so close to other citrus growing areas that they're mighty tough places in which to develop a market for our oranges. As you know, Florida and Texas produce citrus fruit much more cheaply than we do in California. In markets close to the Florida and Texas producing areas, this cheaper fruit has the additional advantage of very low freight costs. Furthermore, Florida and Texas shippers just naturally tend to load up these close-to-home markets first. So when our oranges come in here they not only buck up against awful cheap fruit but an awful lot of it! How far, then, has the Exchange succeeded in developing these "hot spots" into markets for California oranges? In the Atlanta territory, which is right in Florida's front yard, the opportunity to sell California oranges advantageously begins in late Spring, as Florida shipments slack off. It lasts into the Fall, when Florida shipments grow heavy again. A short selling period—but the Exchange District Sales Office makes the most of it! Many growers know that, as described in a previous column, Atlanta is an excellent territory for California lemons. But don't overlook the fact that the Atlanta Exchange office also does an excellent job of selling oranges—500 cars last year. The New Orleans District is smack in between the Florida and Texas citrus growing areas. Moreover, Louisiana grows oranges of its own, down in the Delta. Still, by long, careful work to win Many growers know that, as described in a previous column, Atlanta is an excellent territory for California lemons. But don't overlook the fact that the Atlanta Exchange office also does an excellent job of selling oranges—600 cars last year. The New Orleans District is smack in between the Florida and Texas citrus growing areas. Moreover, Louisiana grows oranges of its own, down in the Delta. Still, by long, careful work to win the support of the New Orleans jobbing trade, George Johnson, veteran Exchange District Sales Manager, has developed a fine market for Exchange oranges. Last year's sales: 460 cars. As for Houston—this big, new, booming city is only 175 miles from the heart of the Texas groves. Texas shippers truck their fruit into this district overnight. Yet in spite of the rapidly increasing Texas citrus production, the Exchange District Sales Office, under the aggressive managership of W. D. Baker, has built up its sales of Exchange oranges to 460 cars—exactly the same number as New Orleans. Why all this sales effort, this careful cultivation of even the toughest territories, at a time when demand for fruit is so great? Because, without this effort, sales would be less great even today. And because, when times change, when crops once more are hard to move, this thorough development of all possible markets will be the Exchange grower's chief reliance, a solid foundation for his continued prosperity. Next report from Los Angeles, two weeks from today. California Fruit Growers Exchange Building, Los Angeles St., California
