The capacity of the present plant will be doubled. This is the concern which had intended to move to Anaheim, but changed its mind recently. The company has just closed its fourth year. The first three years were experimental and hardly paid expenses. Now the concern is on a firm footing. Besides paying off the $100,000 the company will have a surplus of $25,000 with which to do business. The company reports that the market for citrus fruit juice has been only scratched as yet. It desires to take all the culls of Exchange Ass'n off the market so as to leave the way clear for the better class of fruit. Sooner or later the company will have to move, it is reported, but whether it will do so before it enlarges the plant is not announced.
