For years It had existed and nothing more. Five years ago Mr W. M. 1,-McDonald, who had been an expert 1 book-keeper for years, became the manager of this aaeootatlon. Within those gT^yeere he has seen the annual sales grow from $5,0<V> to something over $200,ooo. Those are years of experience In close contact with the growers and the buyers, bas given Mr. McDonald ^ a wide experlendb to add his business training. He has developed the business so that hs knows the I . markets thoroughly and can develop new ones when necessary.
