The Washington apple industry had a huge bumper crop in 1930. Looking for a place for the apples to go, the International Apple Shippers Association came up with an idea: Send them east! People could buy a crate of 60 apples for $1.75, and sell them for a nickel apiece! If they sold their entire crate in a day, well, that’s a net profit $1.25 — which went a long way, and was a lot better than nothing, in America at that time. By November 1930, streets were packed with apple sellers, and Akron, Ohio went so far as to require apple sellers to give up their spots every two weeks to give more people a chance of at least making some money!
(As an aside: This is the kind of interesting, difficult fact that I was hoping to see more of this week in the Tournament of Champions! I definitely learned something new today!)
