operative Marketing"
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 widowed
mother He not only educated him
self through the public schools and
colleges of that state, but by his
sheer ability ne put his brother
through school. AS boy of eight
Mr.. 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 a first
class cooperative lawyer unless he
understood corporation law, and he
has combined these two practices.
Mr. Sapiro and his firm do not accept
any work excepting in these lines;
they will not accept criminal, per-
sonal injury or divorce cases.
1t was through Mr.. Sapiro's abil-
lty as adviser that many thousands
OF farmers in California have found
tneir way to true cooperative mar
Getlng 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
efatlon. The farmers of California
nad tried various plans Of organiza-
uon and cooperation, but their eff
lorts had been limited to local units
VI organization which were neces-
sarliy in competition with one anoth-
VI and it was for Mr.. Sapiro to plan
out statewide cooperative organi-
1alion that has lifted the farmers of
0aiiiornia out of adversely into pros
serity, and today Aaron Sapiro is
eOnsldered to be one of the greatest
au'norities on cooperative law and
cooperative organization in the
united States, if not in the world.
ae mas given to the world a new idea
auo no doubt his work will go down
n'o history, and the generations in
'ears TO come will read of Aaron Sa-
s"o OF San Francisco doing for the
'armers of California and the nation
wat Francis J. Heney did for the
s0mmon people OF San Francisco and
Tue United States.
