Prairie View Canning Co., Randolph, Wis. Wood Naval Stores Export Association, Wilming- Formed in 1935 to export wood naval stores (rosin and pine oil produced by wood distillation) through the export offices of the Hercules Powder Co., the association operated successfully until 1938, when another export association was formed to ship the same products, and some of the members of the first group joined the second. (See International Wood Naval Stores Export Association.) The first group was, therefore, dissolved. It was reported that operation of the association "contributed a great deal to the orderly marketing of pine oil and F. F. wood rosin in the export channels."

One of the members acted as forwarding agent for all, thereby effecting a saving in expense. It was also reported that "by operating through this association our members had the advantage of dealing as a unit with foreign competition and were enabled to more readily view market conditions abroad, and by concentration of information and ideas were able to arrive at a constructive sales policy so far as their export tonnage was concerned." During the depression, however, prices abroad were lower than those in the United States, and the members were unwilling to sell at the lower levels. The association was inactive for several years, for this reason, and was finally dissolved in 1934.
