TfWENTY years ago, California
l. produced around 100000
boxes of citrus fruit annually. Last
year, California produced over
10000, 900 boxes, Yataveragc prices
have not only held their own, but
have Jtedaily mrremcd
Because supply and demand con-
troll price, there can be only one
explanation Of the rising prices.
Demand has been increased even
more than supply. And the Califor-
MIA Fruit Growers Exchange has been
largely responsible.
Through twcnty-three years Of
continuous Sunklst advertising. the
American public has been told often
and convincingly of the delicious
ness, health value and many uses of
Sunkist Oranges and Lemons.
Through this means, through ag-
grcssive selling and through skillfui
merchandising, America has been
educated to consume 20 oranges
year per capita, instead Of the 32 of
twenty years ago, The orange has
long since replaced the apple as king
of fruits, and is advancing in poPu-
lariy further every year,
AT the same time, the popularity
Of California lemons has been in
creased to the point where they now
comprise 85% of all lemons Con-
sumed in America. Twenty years ago,
1870 OF the lemons consumed in
America were imported.
The Sunkist Extractor, and more
recently the Junior Extractor, have
played stellar roles in these dramatic
successes. With them, the Exchange
has changed fresh orange juice from
a rarity few years ago, to the IA
tional drink today
Yet the United States and Canada

for Citrus Fruits

arc but a part Of the Exchange mar
ket. For years the Exchange has
been building up its foreign busi-
ness. Last season, the Exchange ex-
ported 100000 boxes of fruit to
the United Kingdom, Continental
Europe, the Orient, the Antipodes,
Hawaii and the Philippines. "Sunkist'
has become the favorirc brand OF
many lands.
The Exchange by products COM
panies form another important OUT
let. They turn otherwise unmarked
able fruit into by products that can
be sold with some return.
Through all these methods, the
citrus growers Of California have
been saved from the over-production
disasters that have befallen other ag-
ricultural industries not so we'll or
ganized.
And while the Exchange has thus
bcnchtted all growers, it has also
brought special benefits TO its own
members. For Exchange marketing
methods have built up a public and
trade preference for Exchange fruit
that far exceeds that enjoyed BY other
brands. Comparative figures have
proved repeatedly that the public and
trade willingly pay premium for
the greater dependability of Ex-
change fruit.
Exchange members average higher
returns, and at the same time operate
at a lower selling cost, than any other
citrus agency. Let US show you the
figures.

HALF MILLION LOSS
 IN CAMBRIDGE FIRE
HeWs Pottery Company De- stroyed-SeYeral Explosions

Cambridge, Mass, Aug. Is LP) - Flames that destroyed the buildings of A. H. News & Co.,, Inc. owners of one of the country's largest and oldest pottery plants, were brought under control early today by the combined efforts of Cambridge, Bos- ton, Belmont, Arlington and Somer- vile firemen. Loss was estimated by Dunbar Lockwood, treasurer of the company, at s500,oO0.
 Traffic along the Fitchburg divi- sion of the Boston at Maine railroad, which bounds the plant on one side, was held up until late hour, when section hands of the railroad, work ing through the night, had cleared the right of way. Trains were re- routed during the night and early morning hours. The blockage was caused by falling bricks from crumbling walls and two high chim- nies of the plant.
 Heat and hot air explosions kept fire fighters we'll back from the plant buildings. Outside help was called for when nearby tenements seemed endangered and all of Cambridge's s apparatus had failed to make any noticeable headway. Thousands of gallons of oil stored in the build ings added to the terrific heat and roar of the flames and low water pressure hindered the fremen dur ing the early hours of the fire, which started shortly before Il o'clock last night.
 The pottery plant was founded in 17s5 Most of the present buildings were very old, Lockwood said, and every prevention precaution had been taken because the old wood was like finder. The loss was covered fully by insurance, he said, and re- construction would be started im- mediately.
 Just one injury was reported. Will Ham F. McGrath, 17 year old son of a Cambridge fireman, injured his leg when he fell into the elevator shaft of the burning buildings. He was pulled out of the pit by f1remen, who lowered a rope to him.
