Cooperation instead Of COM
petition is becoming the
successful practice of all big
business. The great captains
of industry have learned that
they can make more money by
serving the people at fair figures
than by cutting prices.
The Florida Citrus Exchange
is a cooperative organization.
It can sell all the fruit produced
in Florida now or in the future
at figures that will be profitable
to the groWers-if it can elimi-
nate disastrous competition
among them. Your crop in the
Exchange, no matter how small
in volume, will help to do this.
