visions of the federal law. If the grow- 

 ers of this valley and Hood River and 

 Wenatchee want to get into one grow- 

 ers' organization, as individual growers 

 and not as members of another organi- 

 zation, I think that they have a perfect 

 right to do so and will not in their 

 operations come in conflict with the 

 terms of the anti-trust act. As indi- 

 vidual growers acting co-operatively 

 they can control their marketing, but 

 if they try to act as corporate units 

 they are passing the limits of the law. 

 (irowers in this valley. Hood River and 

 Wenatchee have not exceeded the 

 limits of their rights under the anti- 

 trust law by forming the Growers' 

 Council, but they must join it as indi- 

 viduals and not by associations, such 

 as the Fruit Growers' Association, the 

 Horticultural Union and the like. 



"^^^len it comes to the question of the 

 several associations affiliating for the 

 purpose of control of markets I think 

 the limits of the law are passed. When 

 it comes to the Shippers' Council and 

 Growers' Council attempting to co- 

 operate in handling the marketing I am 

 certain that this is in violation of the 

 anti-trust law. I hope I make myself 

 clear. A co-operative fruit organiza- 

 tion, no matter how big, can act as the 

 2,500 stockholders of the steel corpora- 

 tion in the handling of their product. 

 The limits of the law are passed when 

 several of these co-operative organiza- 

 tions come together and attempt to 

 control prices."

"We are almost out of chocolate. Get a 3-lb. can 

 of Ghirardelli's Ground Chocolate. Don't buy 

 the bulk kind." 



And John "obeyed orders" cheerfully, for of all the members of the 

 household, John, the "boss," likes his breakfast cup of Ghirardelli's 

 the most. 



He knows what a delicious, sustaining beverage it is, what wonderful 

 cakes, puddings and cookies his wife makes with its aid. He also 

 knows that it gives the highest food value for the man who works hard, 

 for the woman who must always be well, for children on the grow.
