sales. This in itself was a record, but its seven 

 lundred cars went to 125 different markets of the 

 L'nited States, Canada and Europe, a number of which 

 were heretofore unacquainted with the products of 

 this section. Nowhere in the annals of Northwest 

 fruit do records show as large a number of markets 

 used in any single previous season. As to prices 

 received, the Exchange secured for its growers a 

 higher basis f.o.b. shipping point, district for district, 

 than was returned by any other means of distribution. 

 Its average net results stand pre-eminent in com- 

 parison with those of any other marketing agency. 



The prestige and confidence already gained by the 

 Exchange is illustrated by its prospects for 1911. The 

 following associations have signed membership con- 

 tracts with it for the ensuing season: Buhl Fruit 

 Growers' Association, J'.uhl, Idaho; Cashmere Fruit

ton: Stevens County Fruit Growers' Union. Meyers 

 Falls, Washington; Umpqua \'alley Fruit Union, 

 Roseburg, Oregon; Weiser River I'ruit Association, 

 Weiser, Idaho. This list includes some of the strong- 

 est associations in the Northwest, with a total of 

 between 2,000 and 3,000 cars now in sight for the 

 year's shipment. Other unions have applied for mem- 

 bership into the parent body, and with the formation 

 of new associations, through the efforts of the 

 Exchange, its work promises to be one of the leading 

 factors in marketing the 1911 crop. 



Owing to its enlarged membership, which naturally 

 represents a greatly increased volume of business, the 

 Exchange has found it necessary to move into larger 

 quarters, and is now located on the fourth floor of the 

 Spalding Building, Portland.
