About This Item
Kelowna, BC: B.C. Tree Fruits Limited, 1956. Map. Fine. Printed map showing the official growing districts of B.C. Tree Fruits Limited - from Keremeos in the southwest to Kamloops and Salmon Arm in the north and Creston in the southeast - on the verso of a 1956 BC Tree Fruits letterhead measuring 11 x 8.5 inches. B.C. Tree Fruits was created to curb "Fruitleggers" from expanding into larger city markets and other places farther afield than their allotted farm-gate sales. See "Fruitleggers, Fruit Police, and British Columbia's Black Market" (Bradley & Hadlaw 2021) p. 363. It was compulsory - and onerous, for orchardists producing within these districts to sell their tree fruit through B.C Tree Fruits. A single fold line crease, else fine and unmarked. An uncommon Okanagan / Kootenay Mapback letterhead. Pub. date of 1956 from Kelowna Archives, BC Tree Fruits fonds.
