Say About the Farmers Cooperative Packing Company

east bank of the James River. Buildings are now
being constructed on one of these. A third prop
erty consisting of a lot and party wall on Dakota
Avenue in the City of Huron is also held by the
Company.
I'VE find that none of the Board of Directors
receive any salary except l.. +. Shuttleworth, who
pany. We find that there are approximately 1000
farmers, stockmen and business men throughout the
state who own stock in this company in amounts
ranging from one hundred to one thousand dollars.
1--WE find that since May 81, 1919, the sale of the
first million dollars worth of stock has been com.
pleted and that a fair start has been made on the
second million.
Management and Methods
I've find that the management of the Packing
Company is directly and Immediately in the hands
of a Board of Directors made up of six stockmen,
and farmers, one banker, one lawyer, and one expert
accountant. All of these men, as near as we are
able to learn, are successful in their chosen field
of work. S. d. Frost, stockman and farmer OF Leola,
Mcpherson county, is president; A. w. Wilmarth,
attorney at law of Huron, is vice-preident; l.. +.
Shuttleworth, accountant, of Huron, is secretary;
H. G. Spratt, banker of Huron, is treasurer; Henry
Scott, stockman and farmer of Rec Heights; Z. d.
Sutton, stockman and farmer of Onida; B. +. Meyers,
stockman and farmer, and also state senator from
McCook county; B. A. Cranston, stockman and
farmer OF Beadle county; George c. King, stockraan
and farmer of Aberdeen, constitute the remainder
of the Board of Directors.
an addition to the Directors, there is what is
known as an Executive Board, which might better
be known as an Advisory Board, consisting of twenty
five prominent stockmen, business men and farmers
from different parts of the state. This Beard serves
as its name would imply and We understand that ~
is frequently called in for counsel.

employment of a manager who is to be an expert

it to be a fact that negotiations have been carried

It is understood thai the item OF Deferred Assets
will be l~iquidated by apportionment over a term of
years after the plant is in operation.
Receipts were written and vouchers made for all
receipts and disbursements and the various items
were properly classified on the records for distribu-
ton.
The real estate owned by the Compan is carried
on the books at $44, S93. Is, the amount paid for same.
This property in our judgment is now worth, and
would sell for, at least 5000 more than the book value.
The interest received on deposits, bonds and bills
receivable, nearly balances the expense of the Com
pany from the time of its organization.
We also find that the funds of the Company are
deposited in nine banks in the state, all Of which
are paying interest on these deposits.

mittee to your committee.

Other interesting portions of the report are as
follows:
1--WE find that the real estate holdings of the
Farmers Cooperative Packing Company consists of
one tract of 1919 acres and one tract of 131 acres,
both immediately joining the City of Huron on the

on with several big men employed by the big packers,
but they have been unsuccessful to date.
I'VE find that all contracts for construction. mate.
rails, equipment, and even to office supplies, includ>
ing stationery, have been let on competitive bids;
that all construction, installation of equipment, plans,
important decisions, etc, have been made only on
the advice of an architectural engineer from the
Packers Architectural & Engineering Co, OF Chicago.
We also find that expenditures in maintaining the
Office and in conducting the affairs of the Company
have been kept at a minimum consistent with good
business.
1T has been our privilege to attend and to take
a more or less active part in the two annual meetings
of the stockholders held by the Company. We were
impressed with the interest manifested by the stock
holders and were impressed with the straiGh. forward,
open manner in which these meetings were con-
Quoted. We are of the opinion that the Directors
have attempted to follow out the will of the stock,
holders as expressed at these two meetings. We
understand that even the proxies held by the officers
of the Company were cast in strict accordance with
the majority of those present.
1--WE find the Company incorporated as a co-opera-
tive organization according to the laws of South
Dakota and to eliminate any questionable doubt as
to the nature of the organization, amendments to the
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws were adopted
at the last annual meeting and that other minor
changes were made which were found necessary as
a result of two years experience.
Opinions and Recommendations
I'VE are of the opinoon that the management of
the Farmers Cooperative Packing Company is exert
ing every effort TO protect and safeguard the interest
of their stockholders.
I'VE desire to Recommend to the Board of Directors
of the Commercial Club that this report be adopted
and approved for publication. We further recon.
mend that the Commercial Club reassure the Direc-
tors Of the Farmers Cooperative Packing Company
that we are strongly in sympathy with their work
and to assure them Of our hearty cooperation"
The report was received and unanimously adopted
on July 81, 1919, by the Board of Directors of the
Huron Commercial Club, approved by C. S. Laughlin,
president and o. NJ. Phelps, secretary.

One of the greatest dangers con-

a reduction in prices Of material and
labor according to the views of COM
mercial and industrial leaders of
Great Britain. brought back by the

In the opinion of progressive busi-

to be gained by a policy of hesitation
and indecision, the commission has

wages will be appre0ably lowered,
and whatever might be gained by
later reduction in cost of raw ma

benefits accruing in immediate manu-

efforts made to market such products.
Another point elaborated on by
prominent employers was that labor
unrest was certain to be aggravated
by policy OF delay in resuming

URGES CONTINUED BIDDING.

The industrial board of the Depart

to the sand. gravel and crushed stone
industries that they continue the
practice of compet titive bidding in
governmental purchases. 1t was ex-
plained that action was necessary
to remove uncertainty and expedite
