The news is given out that a
new commission company has
been organized recently and that
they have taken over the property
and business OF the evaporator,
known as the North Fork Valley
Packing Company. The new or
ganization will be cooperative in
character. embracing among its
members some heavy growers.
They will do a regular commission
business as we'll as continue the
evaporation OF fruit. Considerable
additions will be made at once to
the land holdings to permit OF the
erection OF additional buildings.
The present Offices will be main
tanned in the Evaporator building

their business that will prove a
drawing card will be the fact that
they can care for the soft fruit
without any delay or transfer.
This fruit business is growing
large enough to demand increased
facilities and the new company is
not entering an over crowded
field.
