trucks headlights and ran into the
street.
The men started into the street to
save him. Realizing their danger,
they stopped confused. Barney

Formal opening of the splendid
new packing shed of the Imperial
Valley Grapefruit Growers, marks
the realization of an idea first CON
ceived in 1921 when little group
Of growers gathered in Imperial and
formed an organization to market
their crops.
Success of the organization from
the start led to the formation of
the Imperial Valley Citrus Associ-
alton in FL Centre three years. In
1925 these two organizations were
merged with headquarters establish
cd in Imperial.
Two years later, in 1927, the merg-
cd associations moved to Ell Centre.
At the time of the consolidation
the association was made up of %
members. Since that time a steady
growth has been maintained until at
present the membership totals %,
representing 1000 acres of grape
fruit.
When the association moved to Ell
Centre in 1927, a rented packing
plant was obtained, but the directors
had from the first determined event
tally to own their own plant and
labored steadily with that end III
view.
The increased acreage and pro-
duction of the past two seasons con-
WINGED the directors that immediate
action was essential. and last sum-
ner steps were taken to finance con-
struction of a modern packing plant.
The site of the new plant was
purchased and construction work
started on November 4. The plant
was completed and placed in opera
ton on January Is. 1t is thoroughly
modern in every way and represents
the latest innovations in scientific
preparation, sorting and packing of
grapefruit.
Imperial Valley Grapefruit Grow
ers operate in the southern part of
the valley only, south of Imperial
township. Grapefruit grown in the
north end and is-packed at Brawley
in the plant of the Imperial Valley
Citrus Exchange.
The local grapefruit is sold
through the Desert Citrus Exchange,
which is a district division of the
California Fruit Growers Exchange.
Excellence of the local product is
admitted and it finds ready de-
mand on the market. The Grapefruit
Growers have succeeded in develop
ing a splendid market in the Pacific
Northwest, and grapefruit display
ing the local brand is in high favor
on other markets.
Recognizing the desirability of
maintaining the high standard set
by the Standardization laws of Cali
fornia, and inspired chiefly by the
wish to keep Imperial Valleys repu-
tation for superior products; the
Grapefruit Growers exercise the
greatest care to see that only the
best grapefruit reaches the market.
Quality IS placed foremost at all
times.
