Final arrangements between J. B. Jackson, Ltd., and J. E. Johnson Bros. were completed last week.

The amalgamation give much required siding accommodation to the business heretofore managed by Mr. Johnson.

A large shipping room will be be built immediately south of the Johnson Company's storehouse. The Co-operative Joint Stock Company has sold stock to the value of about $10,000 in the new amalgamation.

Mr. James E. Johnson will continue as secretary-treasurer and general manager for the co-operative concern, and for the fruit growers' association.

The staff of the J. B. Jackson Ltd. wil remain the same, and the egg storage, butter factory, and stock buying will continue as before; and coal, building material, etc. will be handled on a cash basis.
