Aaron Sapiro was born in the city
Of San Francisco, SO years ago. He
made his own way through the pub
lie schools of that city, while at the
same time supporting a widowed
mother. He not only educated him
self through the public schools and
colleges of that state, but by his
sheer ability he put his brother
through school. AS a boy of eight
Nj. Sapiro sold papers in the streets
OF San Francisco to maintain himself
and mother. He is a self-made man,
and knows the problems of adversely.
When he started in the law bust
ness he felt that the farmers of Cali
fornia would be his greatest clients
and he therefore started his studies
in cooperative law; he soon found,
however, that he could not be first
class cooperative lawyer unless he
understood corporation law, and he
has combined these two practices.
MI. Sapiro and his firm do not accept
any work excepting in these lines;
tney will not accept criminal, per-
sOnal injury or divorce cases.

ny as adviser that many thousands
Oh farmers in California have found
'aelr way to true cooperative mar
keting of farm products. The sue
cess OF the California cooperative
organizations reads like a fairy tale,

any other man is due the plan ano
method of their organization and OPP

aao tried various plans of organiza-
uon and cooperation, but their eff
lofts had been limited to local units
organization which were neces-
@rliy IN competition with one anoth-
" and 1t was for Mr. Sapiro to plan
W.T. a statewide cooperative organi-
@uon that has lifted the farmers of
sauiornla out of adversely into pros
'''''y' and today Aaron Sapiro is
'Olsiuered to be one of the greatest
-u'horltles on cooperative law and
Operative organization in the
sa1eo States, if not in the world.
