Fruit Jobbers to Open National Membership Drive
Chicago January 17 The failure of the National League of Commission Merchants to act on amalgamating the Western Fruit Jobbers Association and the International Apple Shippers Association into a national body may trigger a move to widen the Western Jobbers and seek coast to coast membership. Chicago members push for a Washington bureau funded by member subscriptions to cover legislative matters. If the Western group goes national it could hasten amalgamation or spark rivalry with the League as Chicago jobbers press to expand the field.
