theory we had often discussed, which
was. that the. ideal marketing organic.
alton would be one in which fruitgrow.
ers and fruitsalesmen are partners.
We knew then, as most every body
knows now, that it takes all of any
mans life and thought to master the
intrcacies of fruitgrowing, plus the
preparation of the fruit for the mar.
ket, and likewise it takes ell of an.
other mans life and thought to master
the difficulties and intricacies of the
marketing end, and no mans life is
long enough to master both of them tc
the highest possible degree of effici'
ency.
was glad to entertain this proposal
of Mr.. Crutchfeld's and SO we applied
to the New Jersey state department
then and there for charter of the in,
stitution which we called NORTH.
WESTERN FRUIT EXCHANGE. The
authorized capital stock was 500. 0C0,
divided into 10000 shares of the paI
value of $40 each. We took out this
charter in New Jersey because that
state was the mother of interstate cor,
porations and granted charters under
the most favorable terms.

happened next.
