...victory. In future, only apples packed in barrels need be inspected. De Luxe Winesaps from Oregon, tissue-wrapped and in boxes, may enter France without question. Grateful importers offered to build a $40,000 apple shed on the Havre docks where blue-capped douaniers could inspect apples in comfort...
