THE WAY GRAND JUNCTION IS
HG0IhG AFTER THE BUSINESS

Grand Junction News:
The committee appointed by the
Grand Junction Fruit Growers Asso-
citation stockholders at their annual
meeting to investigate and report upon
the proposition of advertising Grand
Valley fruit to create n greater de-
mand for IT. yesterday afternoon I'm
ished its work and made Its final re-
port which will be submitted TO the
directors OF the association.
Better Fruit: Better Pack; Better
Prices"
This in a nutshell is the report. The
committee recommends q fund of
5000 for advertising. They recon-
mend that half this come from the
general fund OF the association and the
other half from a tax placed on each
package Of fruit shipped. To raise
$1,000 by a special tar will require on
ly fourth of a cent per package on as
many packages as shipped this year.
but .he committee feels that the grow
ers can well AFFORD to give up half
a cent or more per box II IL will re-
suit In an increase OF even two 10
four cents per package In price.
The committee recommends that the
5000 be expended in certain commun-
tiles which have used fruit before in
order that the efficiency OF publicity
can be studied
Another Recommendation OF the com
mittee is for the establishment OF a
booth al the depot for the sale Of nrst
class fruit at reasonable prices 1t Is
we'll known that tourists now are un-
able to secure good fruit while N
Colorado. They are charged high
prices for Inferior apples The COM
mittee recommends that seasonable
fruit be on sale at all times at the
depot with a man from the association
in charge.
The report sets forth the fact that
more FIRST CLASS fruit must be
raised: that IL must have a BETTER
PACK and o closer system Of Inspec-
tion.
The directors will act on the report
probably at their meeting next Tues
day.
