During the strawberry shipping season, recently closed, 76 carloads of berries raised on Vashon Island were shipped East in refrigerator cars. This crop, consisting of 38,760 crates, a was transported from Vashon Island to the Milwaukee slip in the southern part of the city by the Drummond Lighterage Co., which equipped the barge Ajax to handle four refrigerator cars at a time, thus saving five handlings of the berries.
