Tumwater Lumber Mills Co., Olympia, Wash. Pacific Flour Export Co., Seattle, Wash. The association was formed in 1924 to ship flour to foreign countries, especially the Orient. Competition from abroad was keen, and it was reported that except for operation of the group through one selling organization there would be loss to the mills. The association was at first prosperous; there seemed to be a demand abroad for low-grade flour. But exports were later affected by increased production of wheat in Canada and lower prices on the Canadian exports of flour. Increased capacity of flour mills in Japan and China also led to demand in those countries for wheat instead of flour. The association was inactive for several years, and was finally dissolved in 1938.
