Mount Dora Citrus Growers' Association Eight-Year Statement
The Mount Dora Citrus Growers' Association releases a comparative eight year report on citrus shipments and grower payments. It covers 1918-19 through 1925-26 with annual box totals and payments, notes the 1923-24 season as the hardest since 1909, and cites a gross profit per acre of about 337 dollars and net profit around 212 dollars per acre. The group built a packing house costing 93000 dollars with four to six cars daily capacity and uses LAKE DORA and LA PALOMA brands for uniform quality.
