Make This Store Your Headquarters THE MORXIXG OREGOXTAX, FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 1921 RUPERT CO KEN V Plan Up to Creditors of Firm in Receivership. STOCKHOLDERS PAVE WAY Rehabilitation or $1,000,000 Con cern Declared to Be Object in Back of Action on Xame. .First steps toward reorganization of the A. Rupert company, which went Into receivership recently, were taken yesterday afternoon. Stockholder! met and unanimously voted full au thority to President Davidson to use the name "Rupert" in any organiza tion that might operate the company's eight canneries next season. Behind the action, it was said, wero plans which night result in the reha bilitation of the million-dollar con cern and financial and operating ar rangements satisfactory to the cred itor If the creditors agree, every errort win te bent, it is sal a, to save the growers of the valley from the disastrous year that now threatens, due to the critical condition of the canners as a result of last year's un precedented high costs and the big I clump in the market that followed It. Seiionaneaa Is Explained. In addressing the stockholders Mr. Davidson explained the seriousness of the situation, insofar as concerns the company, and declared that the in dustry faces a crisis fully as menac ing unless the conditions are squarely faced by growers, canners and citi zens in general, and courageous meth ods are taken to meet them. At the same time, be declared that every Oregon and Washington grower. banker, merchant and farmer should conserve their credit and resources to support the canneries of their own communities. "The fruit Industry of the Pacific northwest is now passing through the greatest disaster of Its history," be said. "But even in the face of it there are conditions existing that of fer far more than mere hope. Owing to the nigh prices that have been paid for fruit during the last few yea-, the growers made fabulous profits and have been encouraged to plant to supply more than normal re quirements. Now, as a result, the canneries next season will be in posi tion to buy fruit at reasonable prices. And In this will be found the salva tion of both the grower and canner. Big; Opportunity Seen. "From the viewpoint of the canner. there is a big opportunity to develop a volume of ' business at moderate profits. Indeed, the time was never more opportune. The Rupert company pioneered in establishing a world wide trade for northwestern fruits, and there isn't a bVand of goods that has a higher standing. Now, the op portunity is open for the proper peo ple properly financed to seize the advantage and at the same time save our growers from disaster and the state from the loss of millions of dollars. "To every banker, grower or mer chant in communities where Rupert canneries or others operate I advise conservation of all credits and re sources for the support of the can neries that serve their respective dis tricts. J; or their own good they must be eure that their support will go directly into the operation of the can neries in their community. They can not afford to take any chances on anyining else. Mr. Davidson is one of the most successful growers of the Pacific northwest and has large interests in the Hood River valley. He was first vice-president of the Rupert company, which until last year was sne of tne most solid and profitable cor porations of its kind In the west. He was in Europe when the crash came and hastened home immediately to lend his assistance in straightening out the situation that resulted from tne suaaen stagnation of the market.
