RETAIN FEE REDUCED
BY CITRUS EXCHANGE

Directors of the Florida Citrus EX-
change at their regular meeting here
Wednesday decided TO reduce the re-
tain fee on fruit handled by the Ex-
change from sixteen to eleven cents
per box, making a saving of five
cents per box to the growers over the
price previously charged them for
handling the fruit. General Manager
l.. d. Jones explained yesterday that
the way the work of the Exchange
is being systematized in every de-
partment enables it to conduct it's
business more economically than
| heretofore.
| The Exchange is to continue to
conduct it's big advertising cam
paign, which during the last year
has brought Florida fruit more to
the forefront than ever before The
sales force of the Exchange will also
continue to have the fruit placed in
new markets. The increasing pro
duction of fruit in this State neet
not cause apprehension, the Elk
change believes, as with the findin,
OF new markets the entire outpu
can be disposed of without trouble
, During the summer a big member
ship campaign will be carried on .
To Organize Supply Company
At this meeting a committee {
five was appointed to organize
growers supply company, select
name for it and prepare constitl
n ton and bylaws.
