at the

Twenty-fourth Annual Convention

of the

Northern Nut Growers Association

Incorporated

SEPTEMBER 11, 12, 1933

DOWNINGTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA

The first session convened at 9:00 A. M., September 11th at Minquas Fire Hall, with President Walker in the chair.

The President: "This is the opening of the 24th annual convention and I will introduce at once for his address of welcome, Rev. G. Paul Musselman."

Rev. G. Paul Musselman: "Thank you, Mr. Walker. It is my most pleasant duty to welcome you to Downingtown. Downingtown is quite an appropriate place for a convention because it is a place where we try to prepare beforehand for things we believe are going to happen, and try to get ready to prevent other things from happening."
