Banana Wrapping Faults Hurt Banana Trade At Hawaii Wharf
The piece condemns faulty wrapping of bananas shipped from Hawaii, noting heat and moisture from wet wrappings cause skin blackening and quick spoilage, hurting shippers and the market in San Francisco. It praises Henry Waterhouse Trust Co. for reorganizing the Hawaii banana business on a cash-on-delivery basis at the Hilo wharf to stabilize pricing. It argues for strict school ethics, law enforcement, and public protection, and laments the dismissal of Road Engineer G. H. Gere as harmful to public service.
