Valley and in addition conducts a model 

 dairy at Sumner, Washington. 



He is so well known to the fruit- 

 growers of the Northwest, as he has 

 addressed practically every horticul- 

 tural meeting in the State of Washing- 

 ton and so many conventions that it 

 hardly seems necessary in a brief 

 slvetch like this to make any further 

 conmient. However, for the beneiit of 

 tlie few who have not met Mr. Paul- 

 hamus, it seems proper to say that he 

 is considered one of the able men in 

 the State of Washington; a successful 

 business man for himself and is given 

 credit for the most phenomenal suc- 

 cess that has been achieved by any 

 cannery in the Northwest; that he has 

 built up to the greatest magnitude the 

 largest berry-growing district in the 

 Northwest, which shipped some 300 

 cars of fresh raspberries annually. 

 Mr. Paulhamus is not only noted for his 

 ability, but is a man of power, force 

 and energy, a man who acts according 

 to his own convictions without fear or 

 favor. To him is due in a very large 

 measure indeed the creation of the 

 Fruit Growers' Council, in which the 

 fruitgrowers have the greatest conli- 

 dence in controlling the marketing 

 concerns in such a manner as will re- 

 sult in securing for the growers far 

 better prices for their fruit in the 

 future than they have received in the 

 past. 



It was Mr. Paulhamus who originated 

 the idea of controlling the marketing 

 organizations, similar to the plan of 

 the Interstate Commerce Commission 

 or the Bank Examiner Laws. 



Mr. Paulhanms in his able addresses 

 delivered in the Wenatchee Valley, 

 Hood River Valley, Yakima Valley and 

 at the National Apple Show at Spo- 

 kane, and at the fruitgrowers' conven- 

 tions in Seattle and Tacoma has won 

 the confidence of the fruitgrowers of 

 the Northwest, and it seems to be the 

 unanimous opinion that the fruitgrow- 

 ers of the Northwest will unanimously 

 support the Fruit Growers' Council of 

 107, the Board of Control of Ten and 

 the Executive Committee of Three, of 

 which Mr. Paulhamus is chairman and 



manager.
