pate the exchange.
H. V.. Ferguson, a memlier of the

amined the exchange' books and
studied Itx methods and that they
had been convinced that It wax tnoxt
comprehenxl ve and complete. "Their
xyxtem appears to be perfect In every
detail," said Mr. Feruxoii, "and xo
far ax we have leen able to learn It
deserves the fullest consideration by
the growers of thlx valley. I would
'iext that another committee be
appointed to take up the matter."
At thlx juncture It wax xu direst ed
that the board of directors of the
I'ulon mltfbt have a report to make,
whereupon Manager Sproat read a
written report In which the directors

their careful consideration and found
that the Northwestern Fruit Ex
change had a very perfect and sys
tematic organization and that Its
work had Int'ii openly, honestly and
etlicleutly done. The directors added
however, that there had been Home
Indefinltrness ax to the relations ex
isting letween the Northwestern
Fruit KxchanKe and the North Amer
ican Fruit Exchange as well as some
ludefinlteness as to the stability and
responsibility of the North American
exchange.
"Assuming," continued the report,
"that our crop for this year will
reach 1,IXi,(hmi boxes und that we sell
several hundred thousand through
the exchange, paying It at the estab
lished rate of ten cents ht box, the
sum I so collosal that we deem the
matter of such Importance as to bear
further deep consideration. Hut we
w ould call your attention to the fact
that It Is of vital Importance that
we move toward some concerted
plan of sales and distribution " l in y
recommended that further Informa
tion be obtained.
Truman Hutler voiced the senti
ments of the gathering when he said
that In his opinion the matter was
of paramount Interest anil that It
was of great Importance to get a
correct solution. He then read reso
lutions to the effect that a committee
of three lie appointed to Investigate
the matter further, confer with rep

PAYER
IF there is any one thing in which every stockholder of your organization-every officer of your concern-is interested, it is this little matter
of paying dividends. Perhaps there is no one place in the average large concern where there are more leaks-more wasteful plans of oper-ation-than
in your delivery system. It is an actual fact that not two firms in one hundred know the cost of their present system of delivery.
It is not surprising, therefore, that there are wonderful possibilities for economy in this department and that economy is most advantageously
secured through a high-grade reliable motor truck like the FEDERAL.
FEDERAL TRUCKS Are Standardized
FEDERAL Gasoline Trucks have secured probably the most phenominal sale ever accorded motor trucks in the shortest space of time..
To a man about to invest in trucks, this list of Federal owners will appeal as a directory of the best business men in the world. They
are the men whose business judgment would be accepted uponany proposition and they are not the kind who would buy Federal
trucks unless their superiority had been demonstrated.
