GROWERS POPULAR WITH
MARKETING AGENCIES

Heart whole and fancy free
since the recent passing of the
Wenatchee Valley Fruit Exchange,
about half of the growers at White
Bluffs have been enjoying for the
past week all the thrills of a deb
utante at her coming out party. and
most Of them are still unattached
albeit a few there are who show
signs of weakening before the ar
dent wooing of this or that suitor.
Shall we cast our lot with the dig
nified and we'll known Northwest
Fruit Exchange; shall we yield to
that strong and dashing young suit
or, the G. M. Kopp Company or
will it be our neighbor, the Per-
ham Fruit Company? Oh, Gosh !!
We WISH we could decide!
Three meetings in one week, one
each by the above named compa-
nies. have not clarified the atmos-
phere. All three meetings were
interesting and the growers alb
sorbed much information as we'll as
enjoyed a little comedy at each
meeting. On Monday night the
growers rejected the G. M. Kopp
Company proposition on the ground
that it was believed impossible to
secure any amount of signed up
tonnage. let alone the 100 cars
asked by Mr.. Kopp. Objection
was also made to the 10 per cent
commission charge.
The board of directors of the
Hanfurd Horticultural Exchange
that markets through the Perham
Fruit company. were at the meet
ing Monday night and arranged for
a Perham meeting on the next
Monday night. This meeting was
later set ahead to Thursday night
of this week.
On Wednesday night. representa-
tives Of the Northwest Fruit Ex.
change addressed a large crowd of
growers and on Thursday night, B.
A. Perham in person presented his
proposition to almost as large a
crowd. At the meeting Thursday
night a committee composed of R.
r. McMurry, R. R. Woods, R. j.
Roberts. A. C. Wade and Robert
Nitzsche was chosen to ascertain
the sentiment of the growers in re-
card to forming local cooperative
organization as we'll as the buying
or building Of a locally owned
warehouse.
And there the matter stands, ex-
cept that the Spokesman was ad-
vised by long distance telephone
Friday forenoon that the G. M.
Kopp Company will operate in
White Bluffs and Hanford this year
and that they would have a man in
the field next week to make the
