From the September, 1934 "Frisco Employees' Magazine." I've included some carriage returns/bullet points to better distinguish some of the shipments: FINE SHIPMENTS OF FRUITS, VEGETABLES AND CANNED GOODS Considering the drouth [sic], which has seriously damaged the crops throughout the entire country, it is encouraging to list a splendid movement of fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as canned goods, over Frisco Lines. The movement covers the shipments for this season, up to and including August 17. Strawberries, 951 cars; watermelons, 816 cars from River Division and Southeastern Missouri; potatoes, 703 cars from Florida District and 442 cars from Central division; green corn, 34 cars from Central and River Divisions and Northeast Arkansas; peaches, 18 cars from Alabama and the Ozarks; radishes, 19 cars from Arkansas; spinach, 10 cars from Arkansas; sweet potatoes, 4 cars from the Florida District; raspberries, 6 cars from Arkansas; grapes, 20 cars from the Ozarks to date; cantaloupes, 9 cars from Arkansas; cabbage, 2 cars from the Northern Division; tomatoes, 4 cars from the Ozarks; mixed vegetables, 6 cars from the River Division, and 1 car green beans from Alabama. In addition to the movement of the fresh fruits and vegetables listed above 428 cars of canned goods have been moved from Arkansas, 298 from Missouri, and 19 from Oklahoma.
