 for themselves. 



The EXCHANGE is a HOME INSTITUTION— controlled absolutely by fruit growers, as well as being directed 

 throughout by fruit growers whose interests are the COMMON INTERESTS OF THE WHOLE INDUSTRY. 



The Sales Records of the EXCHANGE are OPEN TO ALL FRUIT GROWERS at all times. The location of 

 the head offices of the Exchange makes it comparatively easy for every fruit grower to familiarize himself with the 

 details of the EXCHANGE'S operations. The EXCHANGE wishes that every grower in the Northwest could spend 

 a few days in its offices, seeing for himself the unremitting CARE with which his business is handled, the scrupulous 

 INTEGRITY of its accounting, the comprehensive SCOPE of its canvass of the markets, the careful JUDGMENT 

 which is the final test of service. 



THE EXCHANGE acts as SALES AGENT FOR ASSOCIATIONS. It believes profoundly in the principal of 

 local association, and wishes it distinctly understood that its policy is one of SUPPORT of this principle; also, that 

 it is in thorough accord and perfect sympathy with any and every practical movement which gives promise of better- 

 ment to the fruit-growing industry. 



Ownership of its stock by bona fide fruit growers' associations, and representation on its Advisory Board, are 

 strong features of membership in the EXCHANGE. 



The EXCHANGE invites correspondence from all such associations as believe in its principles and wish to 

 inform themselves further regarding its facilities.
