Big Six profits alleged in Produce Distribiting Co case
Prosecutors report the Big Six commission houses split profits from the Produce Distributing Co formed in April 1912. Each partner contributed 1500 dollars and the company, with 9000 dollars initial capital, issued a 4000 dollar dividend in under six months while salaries ate into other sums. Prosecutors plan joint investigation into the combine practices. A separate Yakima Valley apple direct-sell venture begins with 1500 boxes at Weat lake Public market.
