Object History
As a produce buyer for Kelly Douglas, Cecil Lee worked closely with local farmers along Marine Drive and in the Fraser Valley. The Burnaby company was one of the largest food distributors in Canada. In the mid-1970s, Lee was asked to oversee the import of Chinese mandarin oranges into Canada. Until that time, mandarin oranges had come from Japan and were sold in the winter, especially at Christmas. When the Japanese market could no longer keep up with demand, Kelly Douglas looked to China. The company relied on Lee’s cultural knowledge to build this very profitable part of their business. Lee designed the cardboard Chinese mandarin orange box to replace wooden containers. The iconic design required no glue or staples, making it possible for farmers to assemble and pack the boxes as they picked the oranges.

Used before plastic trays were used more regularly in the 1970s. In the 1970s, the business shifted to selling wholesale bedding plants so the plastic trays were more practical to give away. The wooden trays and pots were taken out to fields for transplanting and cleaned and reused regularly. The donors recall repairing these wooden trays over the winter months. The used the broken pots as bottoms for repaired pots.
