ate of Maryland), parties to the
foregoing and annexed certificate of Incorporation of _THE NORTHERN
NUT GROWERS ASSOCIATION, INCORPORATED_, bearing date on the 27th
day of September, 1923, personally appeared before me in the
District aforesaid the said Karl W. Greene, Albert R. Williams and
Thomas P. Littlepage, being personally known to me to be the
persons who made and signed the said certificate and severally
acknowledged the same to be their act and deed for the purposes
therein set forth.

WITNESS my hand and seal this 27th day of September, 1923.

ALICE R. WATT,
Notary Public.

My commission expires December 17, 1923.

The smallest number of members with which corporation is possible, is
three; so I secured two members, Mr. Greene and Mr. Williams, who,
together with myself, prepared this, and put it in proper form. We then
filed it with the Recorder of Deeds, keeping a copy for the files of the
incorporation. The Recorder received it, and the fact that he received
it was proof that it was satisfactory. We are now, therefore, a
corporation.

Of course, we want to put that machinery into action, but in order to do
so a board of directors has to be selected. Then will follow the
election of officers of the Association. Therefore, I have prepared a
report of the meeting of the incorporators, which I will read. As I
said, however, we did this to get the machinery into operation. Next
year the directors will be elected by the members.
