NORTHWESTERN FRUIT EXCHANGE. In 

 the early development of the fruit growing 

 industry in the Northwest, the marketing prob- 

 lem has been a comparatively easy one. Fabu- 

 lous incomes have been realized on small acreage. 

 The influx of men and capital to develop the 

 industry has resulted in a very extensive increase 

 of planted acreage. 



In California, Georgia, Florida and elsewhere 

 the producers of fruit did not awake to the seri- 

 ousness of their problems until increased pro- 

 duction, coupled with undeveloped markets and 

 unscientific marketing methods, brought them face 

 to face with actual loss on their crops and depre- 

 ciation of property values. 



Production in the Northwest will increase by 

 leaps and bounds each year ahead of us. Every 

 far-sighted producer has realized that adequate 

 marketing facilities must be provided to keep pace 

 with, in fact anticipating, this increase. Other- 

 wise history will again repeat itself in loss and 

 demoralization. 



Instead of awaiting the cry of "over-produc- 

 tion, overstocked markets," etc., a large number 

 of prominent and successful fruit growers have 

 decided to profit by the experience of their friends 

 in California and elsewhere, and the Northwestern 

 Fruit Exchange has been organized. 



With an intimate knowledge of the difficulties, 

 the experiments, failures and the final success of 

 the California Fruit Growers, Exchange and sim- 

 ilar organizations in other parts of the country, 

 it has been possible to launch this organization 

 of the Northwestern fruit growers, placing it 

 at once on a sound, practical business basis. 



The Northwestern Fruit Exchange has been 

 organized for the purpose of uniting the interests 

 of the whole fruit producing Northwest, to adopt 

 a system of marketing the Northwestern fruit 

 throughout the markets of the United States and 

 Canada; to establish and maintain direct repre- 

 sentation in the markets of Europe, and to 

 develop a demand and establish direct connec- 

 tions in the Orient, Hawaii, the Philippines, 

 Japan, China, Russia and Australia. 



A most important feature of the exchange work 

 is assisting the development of a uniform and 

 high standard of excellence in grading and pack- 

 ing. It is the purpose of the exchange to have 

 its output recognized in the markets of the world 

 as a standard of excellence in grade, quality and 

 packing. 



The Northwestern Fruit Exchange was organ- 

 ized in Seattle, July 29, 1910, by a number of 

 the largest and most prominent fruit growers in 

 the Northwest. The president, officers and direct- 

 ors of this institution are all of them, with one 

 exception, actively identified with the fruit grow- 

 ing industry. They are men who are today hold- 

 ing prominent official positions in various local 

 associations. The president, Mr. R. H. Parsons, 

 is also president of the Hill Crest Orchards Com- 

 pany, operating two liundred acres of pears in 

 Southern Oregon, and besides is vice-president 

 of the Rogue River Fruit and Produce Associa- 

 tion. The other officers and directors are also 

 connected in one way or another with their local 

 asociations, some of them the most prominent in 

 the Northwest. These names are tiiemselves a
