SHIPMENTS OF FRUIT
WERE 1877 CARS

The following very succinct and ex-
haustive report of the business done
by the Fremont County Fruit Growers
Association during the last twelve
months was submitted by Manager
George II Sale at the annual stock
Nplders meeting last Saturday.
The report Is an unusually complete
one. and dealing as II does with both
the commercial and financial phases
OF its affairs. cannot fail TO be of in
tsrest to every member OF the Asso-
citation In presenting his report Mr..
Sale says:
herewith submit You the statement
OF business handled by your associa-
ton for the year 1906. together with a
financial statement
would say that the season Just
passed was one which promised much
and produced very little. The small
fruit crop. with the exception perhaps
OF cherries. was very light, but the
good prices shown for most varieties
helped In a measure to on set the
smaller amount marketed.
Your manager had perfected arran
gements for handling the largest apple
crop in the history Of Canon City, and
this in the face of heavy crop all
over the country was not an easy task.
believe that the effectiveness of
these arrangements was proven by the
rprompt manner in which we handled
the Jonathan crop and the very salts
factory prices returned the grower for
this variety. We were prepared to
and we believe could easily have han
died 400 cars of apples by Christmas.
~ as you all know the October storm
that caused SO many of you to lose a
big share of your years work also hit
your association hard and cut our
business down to a small per cent OF
what it would otherwise have been;
Notwithstanding all this the report
will show you that we have not only
succeeded in keeping our head above
water but have added quite a neat
little snm to our working capital.
The total business fer the year
amounted To s3.29s.s6.

The board makes no disguise OF its

ethical motive which might inspire all
