Limited, the selling organization of the grape gcowe‘ s of the district, is to continue in business during the year, accord‘ng to the decision reachâ€" edl at a meeting of the directors of the Company and the executive of the Association, held on Saturday afternoon at St. Catharines. FUNERAL OF T. C. HEWITT One of the largest funerals â€"seen here in some years was that of Thomas C. Hewitt on Wednesday dlast. i Gbituary There . has . been .gréeat . anxiety among the grape growers of the disâ€" trict of late as to whether the Comâ€" pany. would operate. The majority of the growers felt that the grape busiâ€" ness would receive a severe blow if the Company ceased operations, and many gatherings were held to secure additional contracts. At first these gatherings were not very successful, the nonâ€"contracting growers . holding the opinion that the directors of the Company were bluffing and would not ~close shop. The meeting at Beamsville three weeks ago gave the growers a different view, and they saw at that meeting that the directors would stand firm on their edict and immediately the contracts began to be secured, resulting in the announceâ€" ment at Saturday‘s gathering that the contracts were sufficient to warrant crop control and â€"that the Company would continue in operation. The two bodies are highly confident of a successful season, confidence reâ€" sulting f:rom a control of over 85 per cent. of the crop. Until the hour of the meeting it was not known whether or not the Company would â€" suspend business, the directors being deâ€" termined to cease operations unless they had control of 85 per cent. of the crop. However, the members of the executive of the Association and members of the Company had been busily engaged during the past twenâ€" ty days and had ~secured sufficient contracts to enable the Company to carry on.
