Abstract: Excerpts from the report: Holding apples and pears in cold storage in producing areas rather than at market terminals or at points in transit has become a common practice. In the Pacific Northwest this change has been more or less coincident with the decline of speculative buying of the fruit by eastern interests and with the growth of cooperative marketing enterprises owned and controlled by the growers. The purpose of this publication is to present in concise language, as nontechnically as possible, the essential features in the design and operation of cold-storage plants and in the handling of the stored fruit in the Pacific Northwest, although the same principles will be found equally useful in other parts of the country.
